Hi everyone! I’m Christina, the artist behind Drawing 10,000 Birds. I am an artist, birder, writer, and naturalist. My dream is to meet and paint 10,000 different species of birds over my lifetime. Going after this dream has afforded me the opportunity to see hundreds of beautiful birds, travel to incredible places, and meet wonderful people. It is important to me that each creature in my paintings is recognizable and creates an emotional response with the viewer. I hope that my artwork can inspire people to fall in love with the natural world and want to protect it.

To inspire people to get outside, I teach nature journaling, birding, art workshops, and other environmental education classes. I also love giving talks. Using art as a way to understand science and the natural world is a fantastic way to foster an emotional connection to our wild places.

To help you dive in, I have created a pool of resources and freebies for you to download and enjoy.

Need some colorful birds to decorate your life? Head on over to my shop for a wide array of art prints, greeting cards, gifts, and original art. NEW! I have now added my artwork to RedBubble so that I can provide additional birdy products, including masks, clothing, and stickers featuring my artwork. Links to all of these items can be found in my “Shop” tab in the navigation bar! Want something made just for you? Message me! I cannot wait to create something to your exact specifications.

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your support! Your purchase helps me to continue my work to provide bird art, education, and love for the natural world to as many people as possible.
