Art in February

Our latest auction features a mix of original works, gallery canvas prints, limited edition prints and even a puzzle. Proceeds help us continue to help our community in a variety of different ways: through donations, school visits, workshops and a variety of other activities.

All gallery canvas prints will have a BUY NOW option, which includes an instant (and FREE) upgrade to an EP (Embellished Print). What is an EP? Great question. It includes some unique hand painted embellishments to canvas prints that make it a one-of-a-kind piece. The EPs are signed, numbered and dated and include an interesting additional "signature" of sorts: 5 dots in a row, hidden somewhere in the piece.

We are proud to include a number of new works by Heather Thomas in this auction.

GST 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.
