Talia Hasid is a recent illustration and graphic design graduate from Liverpool John Moore’s University, who is currently based in Manchester. Her love and appreciation of birds and their songs has inspired the collection ‘The Language of Birdsong’.

The series of gouache bird portraits and handmade concertina books explores the unique language of bird sonograms by using embossing and burnishing techniques. They aim to capture the individuality of each bird and the peaceful presence they bring to the world.

Talia is inspired by nature, literature and the simplicities of life. With a love for craftsmanship and the delicate process of creating artworks, she aims for her work to evoke feelings of peace, and to connect others with her illustrations.
