Welcome to Dorothy Tully's colorful world!

I write children's books, too!
As an author and illustrator, I love bringing my drawings and characters to life to tell a story. I write about fairies and animals in uplifting stories that are fun, often silly, and full of wonder and whimsy!
I self-publish on Amazon, so please visit my Amazon author page to purchase my books!
I have limited signed copies here as well!
Coming soon: a special place for readers and fans ;)

Dorybird is Dorothy Tully's Art and Sewing!
Hi, I'm Dorothy Tully, an artist + author + sewist + mama in Rhode Island, USA! Dorybird is home to ALL of my creative passions: my illustration art prints, original works, AND ready-to-ship handmade bags, quilts, cotton baby+children's clothing! I've got children's books and a few pdf sewing patterns, too . . . just for fun! ;) Everything here is made by me!
Please share with friends!
Like any independent small business, I rely on word of mouth! If you think anyone you know would like my work, please pass this website on to them! Thank you so much!

Drawing is my forever love <3
My children's booksI've been drawing since I could hold a crayon and even have a fine arts degree (a BFA in Design to be precise)! Take a look at my fun and fanciful fine art prints to decorate your child's room, your special space, or give as a gift!
Be inspired! Surround yourself with art and feel happier. :)
