Who’s Little Dude?
Moments outdoors are ours to reclaim
Humans are smart little dudes. We've engineered our lives to run on treadmills, snack from plastic wrappers, and zip between places inside metal boxes on wheels. Somewhere along the way, we drifted from the simple joys that once kept us grounded—a hike through the trees, a paddle on the ocean, a ski down a mountain. But those moments are still ours to reclaim. We can grab fresh produce at a farmers market, rack up steps on a local trail, or curl up with a book beside a waterfall.


Wild, curious, and beautifully human
In my work, I use white space to create a sense of calm and focus—like a mental reset, a pause from the noise of our fast-paced world. My palette knife strokes capture the joy and freedom we feel when we embrace nature. Textures anchor my paintings, symbolizing our deep connection to the earth. And my Little Dude illustrations? They're here to remind you that we're all just little dudes on this planet—wild, curious, and beautifully human.
An invitation outside
Consider my paintings an invitation to unplug and embrace the world outside. Imagine if we all did this together. How grounded, happy, and alive we'd feel.

Meet the Artist
Brooke Hirsheimer has always been a wild-hearted explorer, chasing trails across the globe—from the snowy peaks of Switzerland to the sun-soaked paths of Peru. For her, being a tiny human surrounded by towering mountains and endless horizons was pure magic.
Her love for the outdoors inspired her early career in science communications at World Wildlife Fund, where she worked to protect our planet's wild spaces. But life threw her a curveball when a rare autoimmune condition sidelined her from her favorite adventures for years.
During this challenging time, Brooke turned to art as a way to reconnect with that feeling of freedom and aliveness she once found on the trail. As her body healed, her relationship with nature evolved. The thrill of adrenaline hikes transformed into a deeper appreciation for nature's quiet wisdom—a reminder that our whole little human bodies depend on the earth's life-giving resources: sunlight, fresh food, clean water, and crisp air.



What started as a creative escape soon blossomed into her life's work. In 2020, Brooke swapped her conservation career for a full-time art practice, where she continues to celebrate the powerful connection between humanity and nature in every piece she creates.
