Welcome to Birdy & Bright

Birdy & Bright is a mindful creativity resource.

My mission is to inspire and encourage you to try your own hand at creating, to explore your mind and improve your mental health and wellbeing.

Find art exercises in Brush Hour and articles to nurture in Mind Matters.

I believe these resources should be free for all, so they are. Everything is funded by the shop, where you can buy my art as prints, mugs, tote bags and tees. I'm also working on some handmade prints that will magically appear here now and then, so do keep visiting!

You can also support by becoming a supporter on my buymeacoffee page.

Join the community in our FB Group and Discord Server. Share your art on our socials. Involve yourself however you feel comfortable.

    Drawing with Your Non-Dominant Hand

    There’s something wonderfully liberating about giving yourself permission to create “bad” art. And nothing invites that freedom faster than drawing with the hand you don’t normally use. It feels wobbly,...
