Birds Make the Art, Part 11

Birds Make the Art has been on hiatus for a couple months, but we鈥檙e back now. And today we鈥檝e got some really fascinating stuff. One of our artists is a drawing student. Another creates upcycled vintage jewelry. The third makes stain glass. We just love the endless possibilities when these two worlds come together.

Yet he still incorporates his years of studying and teaching biology in the studio. 鈥淏irds bring me joy. In the midst of chaotic day, seeing a bird will quiet my soul and bring me peace.鈥 We couldn't have said it any better.

Suzanna McMahan
鈥淚 got the inspiration to make bird nest necklaces and rings after a bird formed a perfect nest in one of my hanging baskets,鈥 writes McMahan, who creates like the bird-inspired pieces below.

Angel Perez
, currently a student at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, has been making progress toward a BFA in Illustration while maintaining a full-time job and doing design work for several clients. 鈥淚 enjoy creating all types of artwork across several mediums,鈥 he writes.
