My name is Hannah and I’m painting every bird species in North America. Thanks to this package that’ll be the last time I try to be a unboxing girlie.

Honestly in all my years of art supply ordering I’m shocked this is the first time such a thing has happened. #impaintingeverybird #artistsoftiktok #columbusohio

Art supply unboxings are usually quite straightforward, but sometimes life throws in quirks—like a saxophone unexpectedly blaring in the background—that add a unique twist to the process. Painting every bird species in North America is no small feat. It demands dedication, observational skills, and a deep appreciation for nature's variety. For many artists, this kind of project is not only about showcasing technical skill but also about telling a larger story of biodiversity and the importance of conservation. When I attempted a similar ambitious series, I found that each bird required a different approach—from capturing the delicate feather patterns of a hummingbird to the bold colors of a cardinal. Hannah’s approach reflects a genuine and personal engagement with her passion, and the decision to step away from the typical “unboxing girlie” trend hints at her desire to focus more on the substance of her work rather than the packaging or social media frills. For other artists considering similar nature-inspired projects, it’s a reminder to keep the experience authentic and to embrace whatever surprises come along the way, whether that’s unexpected background noise in a video or a new favorite medium discovered through trial and error. If you’re inspired by Hannah’s commitment, consider exploring local bird species in your area and capturing them in your preferred art form. Not only does it enhance your skills, but it also connects you to the environment and the countless stories each species represents.
