Have you ever seen art on feathers, how can anybody can draw so sharp but having a look on thses pictures you will be in madly in love with creating art and painting feathers and it will surely become your obsession. The challenge of building up layers of paint on such a fragile surface is both exciting and arduous. With such a small, delicate canvas, I have to make sure my brush strokes are gentle and precise.

The artist use acrylic paints and tiny paint brushes, and all of the feathers she use were naturally molted – many of which were donated to me by parrot owners, or were shed from my own five pet birds. She has been making a name for myself as an artist over the past few years, specializing in colored pencil and charcoal pet portraiture, and is very pleased to now be accepting commissions for custom painted feathers as well. She loves what she does and she is so excited to see what the future has in store for her on this artistic journey.
