Birds
Isabella Stewart Gardner was an avid admirer of birds. Homages to birds can be found in every room of Mrs. Gardner's Museum. From bird figurines of all different species, to the birds detailing paintings, Isabella's appreciation for birds is evident throughout the Museum.
At Gift at the Gardner, we have an Eagle's eye for bird-loving gift recipients. Our Birds collection presents a birds-eye view of our offerings for bird enthusiasts. No matter if they are a practiced ornithologist or--like Mrs. Gardner--an Aves aficionado, our selection will surely leave the recipient feeling happy as a lark!

Diane is a London based artist, wife and mum of two girls. She paints bright and beautiful art inspired by a style popular in the 18th Century called Chinoiserie, pronounced ‘shin-waa-zuh-ree’. She became particularly interested in antique Chinoiserie wallpapers, for their bright bold patterns and scenic storytelling. She pays meticulous attention to achieving beautiful blended gradients which gives her paintings a sense of depth, as well as ultra fine details using precision brushes. She collects inspiration from historical reference books, Asian art and ancient techniques, to adapt these classic designs for modern interiors.
Temporary tattoos are safe and printed with vegetable-based ink, lasting on average 2-4 days.
