Who is the founder

More about me — click here.

I am a watercolor teacher and illustrator based out of California. I began working with watercolors after graduating with my MA degree in English. I read a lot of Victorian literature. I’ve also worked as a graphic designer for 13 years, and after reading books and designing in a corporate environment, it really felt like I’d lost touch with the satisfaction one feels in working with their hands.

I discovered DIY at that point and began my journey with watercolors. I already had an undergraduate background in fine art and design, so it wasn’t unfamiliar. However, I missed painting. I had an Etsy shop while I was in graduate school hand drawing mugs for my shop, but it wasn’t the same as when I discovered the raw beautiful of watercolor.

I picked up the paint brush and here I am. It has been an exciting journey and I’m opening my studio to you.
