In this blog post, we share some incredible artists inspired by Birds of West Cobb
After around 30-40 posts on Instagram (referring to our @birdsofwestcobb page if you’re new here), we saw a beautiful acrylic painting of a bright, happy male Northern Cardinal in our feed from one of our followers that lives over in John’s Creek, Georgia. She tagged us and said thanks for the inspiration! This actually inspired us more to continue and see what else the world had in store for us! Thanks, Ali Leja! We appreciate you and hope you enjoy the shout-out here also! (Her Instagram page can be found @alelejaart, and her website can be found here: https://alilejaart.com Stop by her pages and support a local artist today!
Check out this gorgeous acrylic painting by Ali Leja of John’s Creek, GA.
A year or so after Ali was inspired to paint this Northern Cardinal in Acrylic, we had another artist tag us in a post and thank us for the inspiration. Enter Tyler Swain (from Utah). He found our page and has since painted many more pieces. You can visit Tyler Swain’s art website at tylerswainart.com. We loved his pieces so much we bought a unique one from him of a young Mourning Dove. Here are some screenshots of the pieces he has since painted, below. (There are more! But we included a few of our favorites). Also, if you’d like to follow him on Instagram, his page can be found here!

September 2025 - A new artist (to us) reached out and told a fantastic story about how she looked for the perfect photo of a Carolina Wren and found ours, with the wren facing the camera, in a very direct stare that was full of personality. To Sarah Byrnes of Connecticut: we appreciate you reaching out to us and asking for permission to use the likeness of our photo with your work! We hope you make prints and are able to get featured in many galleries in the future - from the looks of this painting you certainly will! Here is a picture of our Carolina Wren capture, followed by her incredible piece:
Sarah's piece captures the energy better than the photo possibly could! Check this out! Sarah has provided contact information and details about the piece below
