M2Bee - All for the Birds

Thank you for hosting this Spring Artisan Market and thank you to my Big Buddy for keeping me company at the table 💕First of hopefully more markets this year.

360 valentines with my artwork were received yesterday because random people across 46 states appreciated my art (primarily the praying mantids). That is a 144% increase from last year and I am beyond grateful. Thank you to the 295 orders that came through in the last 1.5 months, you made this small business owner overwhelmed in the best ways and very happy.

I may not have won (in fact, I didn’t even place), but it was still fun spending a hot summer day making temporary art at . Thank you to everyone who voted for me & came out to support!

Hi! Remember me? I’m excited to announce that I’m back & open for pet portrait commissions again. ✍🏻 Please swipe to see slides 2 & 3 for more detail ✨

In late 2021, I received a random email from a UK-based producer named, Matt, inquiring about the intelligence of Striated Caracaras (aka Johnny Rooks). We soon met over Zoom and corresponded through email for over a year. I informed him on what to expect of these birds, shared their history (including what Darwin thought of them), my research, and where to go to see them for himself.

Today, it’s bittersweet to share the outcome of that initial inquiry because while I am happy and believe it’s safe to say Matt discovered I wasn’t exaggerating about these birds’ “personalities” or intelligence levels, I’m also sad because I miss them and that part of my life.

The opportunity I had to conduct research in the Falklands and the people I met while doing so, will forever leave an indelible mark on my soul. There has not been a single day since I last visited in 2015, that I have woken up and not thought of the Falklands in some capacity at least once throughout the day. Congrats to these “mischievous and inquisitive creatures” who usually always get a bad rap, for getting some positive press instead.
