Sharing A Bird’s Eye View of Island Life One life experience at a time
Our aim is to bring awareness to the public about the coastal wildlife around them. Highlighting Shorebirds and birds that live along the coastline. Providing resources to help these exquisite creatures in their life journey
Our goal is to share observations of some of God’s wondrous creations, from conception forward. This is accomplished from observing at a distance and at times up close. Currently the focus is on coastal bird life. Since the 1970's Canada and United States have lost forty percent (40%) of the Wetland and Shorebird population. Our desire is to share their beauty, both physical form and their magnificent spirit. At the same time bringing an awareness of their declining population.
Not sure most people are aware of the depth of emotion these beautiful creatures have. Their primal spirit show deep raw unfiltered emotion. We aim to share glimpses of their life experiences through paintings and illustrations
We strive to bring awareness to a bird’s life joys and struggles in the process bringing the viewer an awareness of their fragile existence. Birds are disappearing at an alarming rate. Most people are not aware of this. We take them for granted because they have always been here. Our process is to create an original piece of art that will show their life’s journey…hopefully bringing the viewer an awareness along the way and joyful reminder of both their beautiful spirit and that we should protect their existence so they may always be with us!

Golden Slipper's Reflection
Hi Folks! Barbara here, Let me explain a little about who I am
I am an artist, a wife, a gardener, a mother to fur babies, and a lover of all creatures on this earth. I grew up in Tampa, Florida and spent summer vacations on the barrier island just west of us. As an adult I am fortunate to live on those barrier islands. During those vacations I developed a love of Shorebirds. These beautiful creatures land in my back yard, I see them while boating, they are everywhere. As an artist I can’t resist the urge to try and capture their spirit and share it with the world. I hope you will join me on this journey of

Our desire is to bring awareness of our feathered friends around us so that we may appreciate and protect these wondrous creatures. After all they are the proverbial canary in the coal mine and at the rate they are becoming extinct we need to take a good look at what we are doing to our shared environment.
