From birth, to first flight, the first year of a bird’s life is full of activity and wonder. My debut book, Nest, pairs vivid, crisp artwork with simple, minimal text—often just one word per spread—to create a breathtaking, peaceful chronicle of nature and life’s milestones. Now available as board book as well as the original hardcover. Published (2014) by Paula Wiseman Books / Simon & Schuster.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who makes the art?
All art in my shop is drawn by me, Jorey Hurley, and printed by me in my studio.
Can I customize the art?
Yes. Custom coloring starts at $50 in addition to the base price of the art. The only exception to this is customization of skin and hair color. I want everyone to be able to see themselves in my art so there is no cost to changing skin or hair color. I no longer draw custom artwork, but I often make several studies before posting a piece of art, so I may have other versions in my archive. Message me your specific request and I will see what I have.
Do you sell originals?
No. While I often sketch or explore other mediums for inspiration, the artwork as shown in my shop is ultimately a digital-first creative process with multiple prints. For certain avid collectors, I have made a one-of-a-kind piece for which they will have the only print, but this is the rare exception. If you are interested in a one-of-a-kind print, please reach out to me directly.
Do you print custom sizes?
Yes, for unframed prints. If you'd like a custom size, please order the next size up (for example if you'd like an 11x14 inch unframed print please order the 16x20 inch unframed print) and provide the paper dimensions you want in the box for notes at checkout. I'll confirm your customization when the order comes through and then re-size the image and trim down the paper to your specifications.
Does your art fit in standard frames?
Yes. The unframed 8x10 inch and 16x20 unframed prints are made to fit standard sized frame openings. Always best to check the dimensions of the specific frame that you are considering to make sure it will appear you intend. The dimensions of the print are edge-to-edge dimensions (e.g. an unframed 8x10 is an 8 inch by 10 inch piece of paper) and include a white border around the edge.
Do you have other frame colors?
No, I only use solid maple frames here in the studio (the wood frames shown in the listing photos). I love that they’re made from sustainably-farmed wood and that I can reliably ship them to arrive in pristine condition, ready-to-hang. I believe the work looks great in other frames as well, which is why you will see other frame colors in some of the studios lifestyle photos. I recommend framebridge.com for custom framing and Room & Board for ready-made frames.
Do you sell digital downloads that I can print myself?
No. My shop only sells prints on museum-quality, cold press paper printed here in my studio. The only way my art is available digitally is for three specific pieces (Woman Swimming, Flowers in a Garden, Golden Gate Bridge) available on the Samsung Frame TV (not for printing). For all of my art I maintain the rights to reproduction and licensing of the work.
What if the art is damaged during shipping?
I will provide a replacement and will give you a prepaid return shipping label to send back the damaged piece.
What if the package is lost during shipping?
I can either refund you in full or I can send a replacement, whichever you prefer.
Can I hang the art in a bathroom?
I print on museum quality cold press paper, which may curl slightly in humid environments without adequate air conditioning.
