BirdSwell Collection was founded at the end of 2009 and re-ignited in 2021. All designs are original creations by artist and surfer, Julie-Ann Burkhart (J-Bird). BirdSwell is J-Bird's artistic expression and offering.

BirdSwell is ocean, surf and nature inspired wearable art, lino prints and original paintings. BirdSwell is a reflection of passions for the ocean, surfing, nature, and art creation. Every BirdSwell product is created to evoke love, joy, light and connection.

BirdSwell clothing is created and printed with the linoleum (lino) block printing process. This process allows BirdSwell products to be handcrafted from start to finish. J-Bird enjoys carving into the lino block and the lino printing process. The quality of the printing is beautifully imperfect creating a vintage look and feel.

Clothing and specialty products are limited edition. After 2 weeks from the product release date, sales will close and the design will be discontinued.

Always available: Original Paintings

“There is no other comparable feeling of flying down the face of a wave and being in rhythm of the strength of the ocean.” - J-Bird
