We are in the process of decorating my daughter’s big girl room for her second birthday. We need to make her nursery over for the baby on the way. She really loves looking for birdies outside. I swear she must have been a bird in another life because our house has been surrounded with them since she’s been born. There is a robin who loves to hang outside on our back porch and he flies into our sliding glass door all day long. I guess he sees his reflection in the glass and thinks it’s his girlfriend. Then we just noticed a robin’s nest in the tree right outside our front door. It’s like they know she loves birds so our house has become a dwelling place for them. This collage would look lovely in her new room.

I love this piece! I work with special education students and we always talk about character being what we do when you think no one, not even little birds, are watching us! This would be a great visual for our room!

I love this art – I have the zinnia picture for my oldest daughter, and another with birds and trees for my youngest daughter. She goes wild for the birds – I go to get her from her crib every morning and the first thing she says is “BIRD!” So we walk over to the picture and we point to the birds and say “pretty.” Thank you for these wonderfully special moments with my girl. I have my eye on the alphabet cards next…

This piece is simple and sweet. I love the texture and aged/vintage quality, such wisdom those little birdies posess. And as always, I appreicate the reuse of materials

We are decorating my daughter’s room in the sky outdoor them with calming blues, pale greens and orange. I love how simple but beautiful this picture is and that its perfect for every age. Plus it teaches my kids creative ways to recycle.

we just moved into a new apartment, & are looking for ways to make it our own. i am collecting bird themed pieces for our living room… & this piece would be perfect. i love the bright cheerfulness of this piece… something to remind us of spring & summer when the grey winter doldrums are getting us down.
i love that though your art is inspired by children, it works in all kinds of different spaces… that’s why i keep coming back.

We love birds! My boys adore them and love any artwork that includes them (they produce a lot of their own bird art too!). They aren’t very focused when there are birds around. For example, doing homework: “2 + 2 equals, hey, look, a cardinal, and there’s a robin”–but how can you get mad about that.

Your art work always brings peace to my day.
Months ago I was enjoying reading a blog “a place called joy” by lori jo rebeles I was led to your blog and art work. My three year old graand daughter has her room done in birds. She is always running to her bed room, which makes me blieve this a peaceful place for her. Your art work would have a goos home with her.
thank you for your work.

My sister is expecting a baby boy in September and I am helping her design the nursery. I didn’t want a typical baby blue decor and stumbled upon your etsy shop. This print is perfect to incorporate cheerful variety of colors!
I love anything nature-themed.

I love it! It looks like the birds are having a deep conversation…perhaps about politics…or maybe the best path North for the summer…

I love the colors and how the birds seem to be watching over and commenting on who is near this picture. It’s so simple and leaves room for anyone looking at it to create their own story! Is it possible to get alphabet cards in Tibetan? We have the English alphabet, but would like to have Tibetan since my daughter’s being raised bilingually.
