Birdsong Friends Spring

This auction features the work of Russell and Heather Thomas and several friends of Birdsong Studio. We are thrilled to introduce other artists and styles, building on our business philosophy of encouraging other artists and supporting our community . Several items in this auction are works created as part of Russell's 52 Week Painting Challenge in support of Bracelets For Buildings.

Note: GST and shipping (if required) will be added to the final sale price. Successful bidders will get an invoice directly from Birdsong Studio on the day following the auction.

Russell Thomas began creating wild colour portraits in Birdsong Studio (Fort McMurray) in 2014. His late career dive into painting has combined his passion for portraiture with his interest in giving back. Live paintings, painting donations and the sale of prints have helped multiple charities. In recent years, families in rural Cambodia moved into new homes, funded by the sale of paintings and prints through a charity called Bracelets For Buildings.

In addition to doing commissions for clients from across Canada and the U.S., Russell enjoys following his creative instincts and producing work that is made available through his Russell Thomas Art Facebook page and his Instagram account (@russellthomasart).

Heather Thomas is co-owner of Birdsong Studios. She has been exploring abstract art over the past few years and has found a unique "voice" using a broad range of materials and methods. She has become an artist in her own right and works in the studio alongside Russell almost every day. You follow her Instagram account @heatherthomasart.

Birdsong Studio is now located in High River, Alberta.
