Hello, my name is Kathryn Michaud (me-show)
My Mom and The Birds
2025 / marker, photographWelcome to my lil corner of the world wide web.
I’m an artist and death worker based in New England.
This page is for the birds.
I started drawing the birds in the wake of my mother’s death.
Better yet, they revealed themselves to me, and they continue to do so.
The collection grows everyday, I do believe they may be taking over.
The process: I am a right handed person, but these birds come from my left hand. My mother was a left handed person.
It is a meditation
It is devotion
It is a collection
High quality prints available.
If you are in New England and want a bird mural, drop me a line.
The person behind the birds…
I'm a witness before I'm a guide.
A lover, a mender, an artist, a maker and someone who believes healing doesn't happen because we're rescued, it happens because we're accompanied.
I've known grief, addiction, loss, depression, and the slow work of returning home to myself. It’s work I’m still doing.
If our paths cross, my hope is simply to offer a place where you can rest your wings for a while, because I've learned how life-changing it can be when someone does the same.
When I’m not drawing birds on every surface I can find or making something with my hands,I’m probably in the ocean, learning something new, or hanging out with my two orange cats, Melvin Cult Classic and Pibs the Winter Lamb.
