I love watercolor AND Self-Care but there's more...

I am a self-taught watercolorist who learned to paint from artists on YouTube. The pandemic had hit us and to deal with some of the struggles that people were having, A friend and I taught monthly classes on Zoom to mix art with self-care. When my friend introduced us to watercolor, I was hooked! I’ve always been a fairly creative person but I never practiced consistently.

a little bit sweet and A little bit salty

Morning prayer time, exercise, matcha tea, family time, cuddling cats, painting, being mindful outdoors, and admiring nature

daily rituals

Playing with my two kids, hanging out with my husband, painting on the daily, hiking, picking flowers, taking pictures to paint

YOU CAN FIND ME:

Superficial relationships, people-pleasing, laziness, alcohol, staying up late, mean people, attitudes

I'm NOT ABOUT:

Being real, sharing struggles, my faith in God, practice makes improvement, people can change, and taking care of others

I BELIEVE IN:

But can we change? I believe we can! My greatest hope is that you can utilize the skills in my videos, not only to become a more skillful watercolor painter, but to grow as a kinder and calmer, more giving person to the world around you!

By teaching I’ve discovered that what many students struggle with is leaving perfectionism behind and trying to keep calm while painting. I’ve also realized through teaching both kids and adults that there is a point in time when we lose the free and playful expression of creating like a child.

However, this time something sprung up in me and I was obsessed! I painted daily for self-care and as a hobby. Soon I started sharing my art on Instagram and then at the end of 2022 started my Patreon membership and Youtube channel January 2023. Watercolor has gotten me through anxiety and a bought of depression, and I am so grateful for it all.

Never give up - keep practicing always!It will be worth it,, I promise

The Flower Color Guide is my FAVORITE reference book to paint florals. Choose an image and go!

These Princeton Heritage brushes are so snappy, pointed, and hold a ton of water. I love their wooden handles.
