Hello! I am a self-taught artist based in the Bay Area, California✨
My mission is to create a sanctuary for others, as painting is both my own therapy and escape from reality. With watercolor and gouache, I aim to create visuals that spark contentment, comfort, and curiosity. I have a strong passion for bold colors, nature, and the exploration of the unknown, despite being a homebody myself.
I hope to one day turn this hobby into something more!

Beautiful art. I’m so sorry you lost your best friend.
Thank you, it means a lot. 🥺💙
I bought the Nicker poster colors in tubes a few years back and I really struggled to use them because the texture felt so weird. I almost wonder if the bottles would have been better. I do feel like they were a lot easier to use with landscapes than characters.
I think you can squeeze them into an air tight case and keep rehydrating them! I did see a few other artists with these glass bottles and some still had to add water as if it were himi gouache to keep it workable 😅 I do really like the texture of fresh paint though haha. I figured with tubes, you can’t really mix what’s inside but these will probably dry out over time too.
awesome video 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Desk organizing is the best! I like your hidden shelf lol. I, too, have one of those for hoarding…😂
Hehe, clear space clear head except my head is often empty, while my space is.. not LOL
Dalena! You’re the cutest 😍 I very much enjoyed seeing all your goodies! That chisel-tipped dip pen (?) looked interesting! And all the stickers omg 🤩 Loved all the clips from your trip at the end, all the food looked so good!
Traci! 💙 Hehe thank you so much! That chisel dip pen turned out to be a stylus meant for paper crafts (scoring, folding, etc.) but I will find another use for it somehow haha
@@Dalenacreates Ohh! Still a pretty cool looking tool ✨
