OUR MISSION

to 'speak' in the most authentic way possible.

Our brand - ‘BE THE BIRD’! - is also our message to the world - ‘You already have wings…BE THE BIRD!’ This is a body of work by artist Richard Lorenz that explores personality, connection, and emotional warmth through whimsical, character-driven imagery. Rendered in vibrant color and expressive form, each piece functions as a portrait—not of birds as symbols, but of recognizable human states: joy, resilience, tenderness, humor, and companionship.

Collectors consistently respond to the work and consider it both playful and meaningful. The imagery invites lightness while carrying emotional depth, making the work accessible without being simplistic. Many viewers identify themselves or loved ones in the characters, and the pieces are frequently chosen to mark significant personal moments.

Over time, ‘BE THE BIRD’! has developed a devoted collector base, with many individuals building long-term collections they affectionately refer to as “their flock.” The work is known not only for its visual impact, but for how it changes the emotional tone of the spaces it inhabits—creating environments that feel warmer, more personal, and quietly joyful. This body of work emerged onto the art scene in 2012 and now enjoys a global following. Collectors can find Richard’s work in numerous gallery/private collections as well as annual exhibits across the U.S.
