Strange Bird Art LLC was originally forged in the summer of 2020 as a passion project for Andrea Ciofalo, out of a love for all animal companions and the desire to commemorate them through artwork. SBA is a one woman operated small business that is committed to creating high quality painted portraits of any and all animals.
Andrea Ciofalo is the owner and artist behind Strange Bird Art. Andrea is a naturalist who works primarily in oil and gouache paint mediums, and her artwork is rooted in a deep appreciation for animals big and small.
Much of her wildlife illustrations center on the lesser-known and often misunderstood species, some being critically endangered, in hopes to spread awareness and pique curiosity. She forges her connection with the animal through observation and research on their habitats and behaviors. Andrea's pet portraits focus on capturing each animal's unique personality using a painting style that borders on realism. Knowing that many commission her to paint beloved pets that have since passed away, she puts special care into each brush stroke so that the recipient of her work has something that they will cherish for a lifetime. When Andrea is not painting, she dedicates her time to rehabbing and caring for the birds of Great Lakes Pigeon Rescue.
