About

Classically trained artist Jeanne Hugo says: "What started as a lockdown past time with my young son blossomed into a full blown passion project. I am an artist and illustrator with a mission: to not only ignite your walls but also educate all those who spend a moment looking at nature's bounty."

​

In nature we find ourselves

​

New art, posters and homeware in a variety of relevant scientific themes will be presented as soon as I finish creating them. The idea is to start your collection with the first two posters named "Garden Birds of South Africa I & II" and add to your collection as they become available.

Happy to have you here!

Let's bird...

Immerse yourself in the beauty of South Africa’s birdlife with The Coocoo Club’s exclusive Bird Art Safaris—held at upmarket lodges and private reserves across the country. These intimate, expertly guided experiences blend the thrill of birdwatching with the joy of creating your own bird-inspired artwork with a selection of fine media like botanical inks and prime papers & canvasses, all while surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. With personal instruction in bird illustration, you’ll learn to capture the essence of these magnificent creatures on paper, guided by a passionate artist and birding expert.

Whether you're an art lover, a keen birder, or simply looking for a one-of-a-kind creative escape, our Bird Art Safaris offer an unforgettable way to connect with nature. Spots are limited, so sign up for our mailing list to be the first to know about upcoming retreats!
