About — Colourful birds on greeting cards, prints and stickers

I am an illustrator and painter who has become more and more intrigued by birds. I have recently started putting my bird illustrations on greeting cards for all the bird lovers and the lovers of bird lovers out there. Learning more about birds is an exciting mission and I hope to educate others in the process.

Over the years I have collected my own collection of meaningful greeting cards and I hope that my images will be enjoyed the same way.

Testimonial from Natasha Fraser-Cavassoni

Jackie Besteman’s bird portraits intrigue. Clearly, they are exquisitely achieved and executed. I’m also a fan of her bold colour sense. Nevertheless, it’s the power of the birds that haunt and stir interest. Im reminded of fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen and Oscar Wilde as well as Alfred Hitchcock’s terrifying film.
