Bird Art on luxury throw pillows and home decor accessories from wildlife artist CJOakley...also bird paintings, bird drawings, bird photos and bird prints.
I started drawing in my mid-twenties, and pencil, I must confess, is still my favourite medium. I also love to paint in gouache (opaque watercolour) on paper and board. I dabble with acrylics and intend to develop this area more as time goes on.
My goal is to create memorable images that resonate with you, the viewer, and enhance your experience of, and love for the natural world.
The move to creating home decor accessories - pillows, table linens etc. is designed to provide an alternative to framed art that offers both beauty and function and allows you greater flexibility and more options for bringing nature into your personal space.
I hope my art communicates and allows you to share the feelings I experience each time I'm birdwatching, photographing or working in my studio. My intention is to forge a closer bond between you and me and the myriad beings with whom we share this beautiful planet.
