The Gift Original Art by Nicola Bird
The Gift was named after Mary Oliver’s poem of the same name.
“Be still, my soul, and steadfast,” she says. When I look to the skies, I am in awe of the vastness and beauty of the show put on by God. And yet, every one of us is as tremendous. Mary reminds us that WE are the gift, our presence is everything.
The Gift is a Mary Oliver poem from her book Devotions.

about the artist
Nicola Bird
I didn't pick up a paintbrush until I was 52, shortly before my mother died. It felt as though she handed me her torch, and I've been painting ever since.
Before that, I built businesses, wrote books, raised a family and spent years helping people navigate change. My paintings come from all of it: the joy, the grief, the menopause, the reinvention, the particular ache of the in-between.
I paint instinctively. Music on, paint down, following the feeling rather than a plan. I want my work to hit you in the gut, change the way you breathe, and create that unmistakable moment when you look at a painting and know, without question: she's mine.
My collectors tend to be women at midlife and beyond who have lived enough to recognise something in the work. They don't choose a painting because it matches the sofa. They choose it because they've been through the fires of midlife and a part of them wants to be reclaimed.
