GOLDFINCH KEYRING
Hi, I'm Melissa!
A wildlife artist with a bit of a bird obsession and a love for all things cute, quirky, and a little silly... I bring animals to life through playful digital illustrations, vibrant paintings, textured textile art, and whimsical soft sculpture. Expect beak jokes, fluffy textures, and lots of personality. My work sits somewhere between careful observation and silly storytelling, bringing stitched and drawn creatures to life with warmth and humour.
Whether you're here for art that makes you smile or something special for your space, I'm so glad you stopped by.
Illustration
My illustration work focuses on wildlife with character, from expressive birds to quietly mischievous animals. Inspired by nature and driven by wordplay and bad jokes, I create playful, humorous images that are turned into illustrated products including prints, cards, and stationery.
Embroidery and Textile Art
My textile work explores hand embroidery as a way of giving my animal characters texture, depth, and a physical presence. From finished pieces to DIY kits, each design is made to be thoughtful, playful, and a little bit silly.
