100 Watercolor Birds in 100 Days

Artist Heike Kuzminski painted watercolor birds for 100 days as part of a 100 Day Project to express the joy birds bring her in life.

Some think doing the same thing 100 days in a row won’t make you happy, but the proof is in the artwork.

And looking at Heike’s artwork brings the viewer great joy.

At IntoBirds, we enjoy discovering and telling stories about remarkable people inspired by birds and Heike is an incredible artist we're excited to profile.

Love of Nature and Painting

Heike is a watercolor artist and illustrator from the Vancouver area of British Columbia with a deep passion for being outside and exploring nature.

As a stay-at-home mom, she was finding it increasingly difficult to find time for making art because of her busy to-do list.

She missed painting.

And for Heike, painting is the one thing she does for herself that makes her happy.

100 Day Project

“I’m most content when I’m able to make time for art, so I was inspired to take part in the 100 Project and commit to creating a painting of a bird for 100 days,” Heike says.

Heike began posting watercolor bird paintings on her Instagram account @heikekuzminski on April 2, and her first painting of a Fairy Wren caught our attention.

Then a Pink Robin (Day 2), Eastern Yellow Robin (Day 10), White-breasted Robin (Day 11), Silvereye (Day 12), and we were hooked.
