The world as it should be
Somewhere between the wildflowers in an old jam jar, the third coffee you forgot you made, and the dog stealing your seat – that's where you'll find Cup of Cosy Art.
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 characters in wellies often sneak into my paintings – usually with messy hair and mischief in mind. ;-)
What you'll find here
You’ll find 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 find gentle inspiration to shape your home in your own eclectic way – with just enough real-life chaos to keep it honest - and maybe a cat plotting something in the background.
Cup of Cosy Art is home to illustrated art prints, cards, calendars and thoughtful paper goods like colouring pages, habit trackers and bookmarks – designed to bring little rituals of calm and creativity into your day.
I painted this cosy cottage in Sweden.
