Welcome to Birdy & Bright.
This is my little corner of the internet where I explore nature, creativity and the beautifully messy experience of being human.
Through handmade prints, paintings, sketches and reflections, I hope to encourage people to slow down, notice the small wonders around them and let them rediscover their own creativity.
Have a wander, stay as long as you like.
New Arrival: My Second Handmade Block Print Is Here!
I'm very proud to announce the launch of my second handmade block print!
Slowly Come is an ode to Brigid's Walk and Imbolc, which celebrates the return of spring. There are 20 numbered and signed prints in this first edition run, on 300gsm handmade paper with green ink.
I've hand cut the soft cut block, and printed each one, using a bevan to put pressure on the paper before lifting it off to reveal the image. Each one has it's own unique character, depending on the movement of the roller, and the pressure applied.
