4 out of 5 starsThe artwork is lovely! The shipper did not follow the instructions to handle with care!!! “Please do not bend” was clearly written on the package, but the package was clearly bent in the middle upon delivery. The print is also bent but I will see if the frame shop can smooth it out.

5 out of 5 starsLove this artwork!! This and the two other prints I ordered arrived in a reasonable time frame (coming from Canada, it took a bit longer, but I knew that and I was totally ok with that.) Thanks so much!

5 out of 5 starsThis was a birthday gift for my dearest friend, and he was absolutely delighted- his absolute favorite bird on a beautiful mushroom.
About ChristyObalek
Paintings from the Forest of my Childhood
You know that indescribable feeling when something grabs hold of your soul so
completely that you lose all sense of time?
Two things engage my spirit this way: observing birds in the wild, and painting inside my
cozy little home studio.
My watercolour paintings are a way to share some of that magic with you.
Let them take you on a walk that connects the wonders of the natural world - ancient
trees, spectacular birds, the rhythm of the tide - to the comfort and warmth of your own
little corner of the universe.
-Christy
I am an Australian-Canadian wildlife artist, currently living in beautiful Southwestern Ontario, Canada. My studio overlooks the garden, where I can watch the birds while I work. Inside my studio I enjoy the antics and company of my free-flying indoor rescue birds: Keats, Mr Small, Nana Banana, and Nemo - all budgies - Button, the Cockatiel, and a pair of blind Quakers: Marco & Polo. I also have a cat, Pete, who wishes he lived in my studio haha.
My art ranges from pure illustrative to realism. Each piece is painted by hand either in my studio or plein air (outdoors). The prints are made either in our Chatham print shop, Planet Print, or by one of our global partners.
I started selling my art on Etsy in 2008 and I've had the wonderful opportunity to form relationships with customers all around the world.
If you see something in my shop that you'd like in a different size, or if you might want something painted especially for you, please just send me a message and we'll work out the details. I'm always happy to work with clients to create something special.
My art has been featured on sleepwear by Macy's, New York, book covers and in wildlife books.
