Adrift on a Painted Sea | Tim Bird

1 post | 1 read

Sue Bird was always painting: botanical art, landscapes, still lifes, and especially the sea. She took classes, kept countless sketchbooks, and filled the house with art.From their neighborhood to their family trips, all the moments of her life were memorialized in her artwork. Throughout her life, she never sold a piece�she gave art to family and friends, and shared her work online, but never received wider recognition for her work. This graphic novel by her son, Tim Bird, explores their family life and her creative explorations through a mix of her paintings and Tim�s comics, depicting their relationship and her life from teenagehood to her struggle with cancer at the height of the covid pandemic. After her death, this graphic novel at last showcases her work. At its heart a book about creativity and family relationships, Adrift on a Painted Sea tells a story about the things we overlook in the people closest to us.

Adrift on a Painted Sea | Tim Bird

pick

This was a brief, soft spoken graphic memoir about the death of the author‘s mother, Sue Bird, whose art adorns the cover and is sprinkled throughout. There‘s not much to say about the content of this memoir, mainly because it felt so delicate and personal. I found it rather affecting. Best to let it breathe.
