Original Oil Paintings and Digital Illustrations

Folk-art style paintings inspired by the English landscape, hedgerows, gardens and the life around them.

For people who have muddy boots by the door and notice the way the seasons change familiar places.

Hi, I’m Birgit – an artist and human to several four-legged studio assistants, who take their supervisory roles very seriously.

My work focuses on small, everyday scenes – hedgerows, gardens, woodland habitats, and domestic spaces where nature and daily life overlap.

Because the most interesting places are rarely perfect – they are lived in, slightly untidy, and shared. And this is as true of forests as it is of gardens and homes.

There is a gentle magic in a misty morning walk, the smell of damp earth after rain, and the way a familiar lane transforms with the turning of the seasons.

That’s very much the spirit of my work – capturing the beauty of the English countryside, its hedgerows, gardens and wildlife.

My Studio Letter is an invitation to walk along with me. Sent each month, it brings stories from the easel, notes from the garden, the lanes, and wherever I end up, and occasional previews of new oil paintings.

A small gift for my subscribers: hand-illustrated paper bunting to bring a touch of country charm to your home or garden.
