]]>Kuzminski is based in Coquitlam, Canada, and the immense natural beauty of her home country has always been her main source of inspiration. She used to be a passionate runner, but a knee injury forced her to slow down and take up walking and hiking instead.
“Slowing down, I started to notice the informational signage on the trails. I actually took the time to read about the plants and animals in the area. I was drawn to the different types of birds shown in the pictures and started painting them,” she wrote on her Etsy page.
Heike spent over a decade working as an interior designer but decided to take up watercolor painting while her youngest kid was in kindergarten. As her fascination with birds grew, she decided to explore their beauty through art, and took part in a 100-day challenge on Instagram, painting 100 birds from all around the world.
Her love for birds didn’t fade away once the challenge was over, and she’s still painting them on a regular basis, using her unique style to single out features that stand out to her.

]]>“My own personal style involves continuously creating tension in the artwork,” she stressed in a piece she wrote for Artsy Shark. “I achieve this through the combined use of premeditated realism and abstract improvisation. Realism is used as a measure of my ability and the abstract work displays my artistic expression.”
When it comes to her subjects, those tend to center around the natural world. In her most recent series, Velozo focuses on the birdlife inhabiting grasslands. Birds such as eagles, parrots, and crows are painted upon abstract backgrounds that hint at their environmental landscape.
According to Velozo, grasslands are among our most vulnerable and endangered habitats due to urbanization. She hopes, therefore, that her work might stimulate care and concern for our natural habitats. “I want to create a subconscious connection to the environment,” she writes. “I believe viewing a painting of nature evokes an intuitive reminder of the fragility and sacredness of the natural world.”
We certainly hope so.

]]>Everyone finds inspiration in different things, for Moulton that’s birds. She focuses on thick brushstrokes and gives an extra boost of color; it’s all very vibrant, adorable and also available for sale. If you are already obsessed with the paintings, she also sells prints.
Nature is always one of the best spots for inspiration. The artist, who is located in Idaho and Illinois often turns to nature to get her daily dose of inspo. All the cute feathery creatures you see in her paintings are based on real birds.
