Moving to High River

Birdsong Studio is moving to beautiful High River, Alberta, just 15 minutes south of our current location in Okotoks. We have exciting plans for our downtown lot and will be going through the moving and construction process through the month of August.

To prepare for the final pack, we need to move a number of paintings, prints and puzzles. $5 from each item that sells will be donated to the Okotoks Arts Council in support of their efforts on championing all the arts in the region.

Please note that items can be picked up by appointment at our CURRENT location at 74 Elma Street West. Alternatively, we can arrange for safe and affordable shipping for more items.

All invoices and payments will be made by Birdsong Studios at the conclusion of the auction. GST and shipping (if required) will be added to the final sale price.

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.
