My Story

Hello and welcome!

I started Catbird Creations after college, but I have been selling my art since I was in highschool, making pet portraits. I graduated UIUC in 2022 with a bachelor of science in environmental studies.

Environmental education is a big passion of mine, as well as art. While never being taught formally, I've always been making art, and trying new things along the way. I'm a jack of all trades, but I love working with clay, and printmaking is my nemesis in a way, but I still love it.

Being able to create wildlife themed art has really helped me celebrate my passions, especially in birding. And it has brought me towards an incredible community. I can't wait to keep creating new and exciting things, and making people happy.
