The world as it should be
You'll find Cup of Cosy Art somewhere between wildflowers in an old jam jar, the third coffee you forgot you made, and the dog who's stolen your favourite seat.
Here - whimsy isn’t just decorative – it’s defiant.
My colourful illustrations invite you into a world where lived-in, slightly chaotic homes are celebrated, pets are part of the plot, and the ever-changing seasons play a starring role. It’s a laid-back, slower lifestyle.
There is always a wink and just a touch of rebellion for those who look closer.
Because who said meaningful art has to be serious?
Hi, I’m Birgit,
I am an Austrian artist – I started painting to stay sane in a world that’s clearly lost the plot.
The crazier it got out there, the more important it became to hold on to beauty, humour, and a sense of self – even if the laundry pile wins.
Can you relate?
Forest animals, dogs, cats, and quirky messy-haired characters in wellies often sneak into my paintings – the animals usually with mischief in mind. ;-)
What you'll find here
Here you'll discover eclectic cottage-style art to help your home feel like yours – honest, warm, and wonderfully imperfect, with mismatched mugs, old quilts, and slow mornings in the mix.
You'll also find inspiration and freebies for living a more mindful, eclectic life, with cosy rituals, creative habits, and room for the occasional beautiful mess.
Cup of Cosy Art is home to illustrated art prints, cards, calendars and thoughtful paper goods like colouring pages, habit trackers and bookmarks – all designed to bring little rituals of calm and creativity into your day.
I painted this cosy cottage in Sweden.
