Learn about the Artists of GGBA’s Bird Art and Holiday Sale
By Daryl Goldman
The GGBA Bird Art and Holiday Gift Sale is taking place right now in our online store (click here to go to our store) and runs until 9 pm Sunday, November 1. This sale is serving as a fundraiser for GGBA as well as a way to help artists make a living during these difficult times. We’re hoping that this fundraiser helps make up for some of the revenue GGBA lost when we had to cancel this April’s Birdathon fundraiser.
I am so grateful that these amazing artists have agreed to participate and are sharing 50%, (in some cases more!) of the proceeds of their sales with GGBA. Many of them have been affected by the closure of the galleries and stores due to the pandemic so please help us support them while they support us.
I wanted to share with you a little about each of the 15 artists that are participating in this sale.
Each of these artists were chosen because they include birds in their high quality work. Some of these artists are very well established and highly recognized. Others are artists that are just now starting a business. All of them bring immeasurable talent to GGBA. We are immensely grateful that we can collaborate with these talented folks.
So without further ado…
Rigel Stuhmiller

Rigel Stuhmiller – one of the very popular artists from the GGBA Bird Art Auction last May – has enthusiastically agreed to participate in this fundraising sale.
This time, rather than offering a limited number of options, Rigel has very generously offered to open up almost her entire inventory for our fundraiser. Our members will be able to click on a link to her website and shop to their hearts’ content. GGBA will get 50% of the the proceeds from almost all her items when the code “GGBA” is used. If you would like to shop on Rigel’s website, please click here.
Rigel is a Berkeley-based printmaker and illustrator. Her line of notecards, wall art, scarves and home goods featuring her artwork can be found online and in over 500 museums, botanical gardens and boutiques across the country. When designing her products she chooses environmentally friendly options sourced as locally as possible.
Rigel believes in giving back to the community so she donates 5 cents for every item sold to the Alameda County Community Food Bank. …
