Tom Godin

Tom Godin has been bird mad since he was young and childhood play often had him imagining that he was a bird. 'I built a lot of nests' he confesses. Drawing birds was just another offshoot of this early passion and in trying to emulate some of his favourite bird artists he was drawn in to the larger world of art.

Tom still draws birds, writes about them, sculpts them and doodles them absentmindedly. 'I used to chafe at being called a 'bird artist' or 'the bird guy' or 'the bird man', but never having had a nick-name, at least not one people called me to my face, I now accept these titles as badges of honour. ~ Tom
