A little bit weird.
A little bit cute.
A little bit fancy.

Bird Bag was born out of a literal bag with a bird on it. For many years I would go through life with an unreasonable amount of art supplies stuffed into a bag with rhinestone birds on it. A thrift store gift from my mom, this weird statement piece of a bag became a totem of consistency in all of the twists and turns of my path. Every move to a new apartment, every change in career, every stress induced fit of insomnia, this bag offered solace in the form of art. At any given time, I could whip out my camera, grab some collage materials, or sketch a strange little dude that reflected the strangeness that was going on inside of me. Art became an escape and a way to fly when I often felt trapped. Turns out, I ain’t alone in that experience. Other artists have had similar experiences, and you’ll also find their work here.

I get a kick out of making my weird little dudes, my cute little trinkets, my fancy prints. They make me smile. I hope these make you smile too.
