ArtBirdsNature

Welcome to ArtBirdsNature (formerly berkeleySU) - Prints and Art from Nature. Ken Januski is an artist living in Philadelphia, PA. All of my recent work focuses on nature, birds in particular. I have exhibited in the annual exhibition of the Society of Wildlife Artists in London in 2011, 2012 ,2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Though there are numerous bird and wildlife art juried shows this is the only one that I make a serious attempt to get into. I am not British. My background is thoroughly American. I just find British and European wildlife art the most appealing. I think that is primarily because much of it is less enthralled by photographic likeness and more concerned with the life of bird and environment and also with artistic life. I'm also happy to say that I exhibited one of my moku hanga prints at the Sumi-Fusion Exhibition at The International Moku Hanga Conference in Japan in late 2021. and again in 2024. Since I'm fairly new to moku hanga this is a great honor to me. As is my participation in the annual exhibits of the Society of Wildlife Artists where I’ve shown much longer.


This store was formerly called berkeleySU, a tip of the hat to the place where I began my printmaking education, the basement of the student union at UC Berkeley. As the store primarily sold my prints when I opened it seemed appropriate. But I have a very lengthy history in abstract art. I also have a fairly old blog called Art, Birds, Nature which seems to well summarize my interests. In 2016 I finally decided to try to unify my blog and my Etsy store by using the same name for both. The store now includes work in linocut and woodcut as well as watercolor, acrylic and various drawing media. In 2017 I also began working in moku hanga, a Japanese method of woodblock printing. That is now my primary artistic medium.

My older strictly abstract work is also available on Etsy at OldAndAbstract.
