Carla's Tits
Bird Art with a Message
Carla's Tits is a simple idea inspired by a life-changing experience.
Following a breast cancer diagnosis in 2025, I began thinking about how I could create something good from a difficult time, for my own sanity and sense of purpose if nothing else. I found myself painting birds, and then one morning, the Carla's Tits idea came to me and made me laugh out loud.
Most of us see blue tits, great tits and other garden birds almost every day. They hop through our gardens, visit our feeders and appear on dog walks or trips to the woods with the kids. What if every time you spotted one, it simply reminded you to take a moment and check your own?
That's the idea behind Carla's Tits.
Through bird-inspired artwork, cards, gifts and exhibitions, I am aiming to create gentle reminders that fit naturally into everyday life. No lectures, no medical jargon and no scare tactics – just a friendly prompt from nature to be aware of your body and to look after yourself.
If even one person notices a bird, remembers to check, and finds something early, then this project has done exactly what it was created to do.
So next time you see a blue tit or great tit in the garden, take a moment.
Enjoy the bird. Then check your tits.
Own a piece of the project!
