HELLO!

I'm Bird. I studied at Northern Michigan University where I graduated cum laude in 2013 with a BFA in illustration and a minor in creative writing.

Among my various projects in-progress, I’m working on a graphic novel of my own writing and an oracle deck. Recently, I have had my artwork featured on the labels of Left Foot Charley wines and illustrated a book of poetry written by John Scheibe titled An Inch of Whiskey.

I live in Traverse City, Michigan.
