The Birds
The Birds
Our designs represent art inspired from some of Britain’s most loved birdlife.
Our Philosophy is art isn’t just something you see on a gallery wall. Art’s found in nature. It’s caught in the way light shines through a coloured window and the splash of spray-paint in a city bypass. Art is everywhere. Art’s around us all the time, we just need to see it.
Art enriches our lives, it holds memories, it incites feelings. It make us feel happy. We collect art, we treasure it and live amongst it. We share art with others, we gift it, and it creates enduring memories . Art makes our lives better and our world a better place.

Great Spotted Woodpecker
The drumming of the Woodpecker’s beak on wood, about 10-16 strikes per second, lets their mate know where they are and marks out their territory. Luckily they have shock-absorbing tissue between their bill and skull. Or…chiropractor. All Woodpeckers drum, but...
