Bard Owl Studio is the creative hub for artist, author, and naturalist, Cee (Christine)Thorketil Grimes. That's me! Amidst wildflower meadows, organic gardens and surrounded by forest, my studio is where the environment's wild inspiration finds expression. Every piece create is hand-made with love, drawing from the changing seasons, wildlife encounters, and the peaceful rhythm of a naturalist life.

From children's books & apparel to art & home decor, each creation tells a story rooted in the natural world around me. I believe art should spark wonder, encourage curiosity, and help us feel more connected to the beauty that surrounds us every day.
