Hiya, creative souls, dreamers, and artists alike! Welcome to my art shop, a place where magic merges with creativity. I'm Sarah Hailey, the artist behind this captivating collection of hand-cut and scanned collage elements. I am happy to have you here, ready to jump into the enchanting world of Bear + Bird Paper.
When I'm not weaving digital collages with Photoshop, my favorite mediums are acrylic paint + gouache, analog collage, and photography. And if I’m not in my desk making art, nature and my garden call to me. Most often, you can find me puttering in the garden, making herbal remedies, and trying to keep my two toddlers from picking all the strawberries before they ripen! :)
Through Bear + Bird Paper, it is my mission to inspire, uplift, and empower folks through the transformative medium of collage. Whether you're an artist seeking unique materials to incorporate into your own creations, a creative soul searching for inspiration for your next dope project, or someone who simply appreciates the beauty of vintage ephemera, I invite you to explore our collection and discover the magic that you'll create (in half the time!) with our easy-to-use collage elements.
At the heart of my creative process is the belief that art is a form of self-expression, self-discovery, and personal growth for everyone. Whether you're an experienced artist or just starting out, there's a space for you here to explore, grow, and be empowered to live out your passion for creativity.
Believe me when I say, WE NEED YOUR ART! I want my work and my story to instill in you the courage required to believe in yourself. It has taken me *decades* to arrive at the point where I am wholeheartedly confident that I can and I AM creating the life of my dreams. I now understand that it is our birthright to pursue that which sets our souls on fire - and guess what? We deserve to be paid for it too! ;)
Come, explore our collections, and let the magic of Bear + Bird Paper transport you to a place where dreams are nurtured, where creativity reigns supreme, and where success and fulfillment become your reality.
