Spring in January
Hello! I hope you’re doing well.
January is usually a month I enjoy —I’ve always loved the quiet beauty of winter. But this year, for some reason, I find myself longing for spring. Perhaps it’s the anticipation of new beginnings and fresh blooms that has me daydreaming about warmer days. In the meantime, I wanted to share a few pictures of some recent watercolor paintings I’ve been working on.
I’ve been sneaking in painting sessions whenever I can find a moment to myself. Balancing creative time with my part-time design work and life as a mom to my two-year-old keeps me busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. She fills my days with joy, and I cherish every second with her—she truly is the best.
I hope these little glimpses of my latest work bring a bit of inspiration to your day.

Lately, I’ve been re-watching Miss Potter (for the fourth or fifth time!). It’s such a charming and heartwarming film about the life of Beatrix Potter—perfect if you’re in the mood for something inspiring and delightful.

New Watercolor Series for Children’s Rooms
Bringing Nature to Life
For the past few days, I've been joyfully working on a new series of watercolor paintings specially designed for children’s rooms. Each creation comes to life by blending natural elements with abstract backgrounds, and it’s truly a pleasure to bring this vision to shape.
Although the release date isn’t set yet, I’m filled with enthusiasm for this project and excited to share these pieces with you! In the meantime, here’s a little preview. 🦋

New artwork & supplies I currently love
In the last few weeks, I have created a series of abstract paintings inspired by the vibrant colours and shifting moods of autumn. These works capture the essence of the season with bold strokes of burnt orange, deep reds, and soft yellows, reflecting the changing foliage and crisp air. Each piece evokes the fleeting beauty of fall, utilising texture and movement to convey the sensation of leaves rustling underfoot and the gentle chill that accompanies shorter days.

New Art Prints
This new artwork represents a culmination of my exploration of colour and form, reflecting a deep connection to the themes of nature and identity. Each element has been thoughtfully crafted to evoke emotion and provoke thought, inviting viewers to engage and interpret in their own unique way. I hope this piece resonates and inspires reflection, much like it did during its creation.

Color Palette Inspiration & New Posca Pens
I recently added a set of new Posca pens to my collection, featuring vibrant colours that have instantly become essential to my creative process. My current favourite colour palette at the moment revolves around rich teal, warm mustard, warm greys and dark green. These hues blend beautifully, allowing for dynamic contrasts and striking visuals in my artwork. The versatility of the pens enhances this palette, enabling me to experiment with different layering techniques and textures, resulting in eye-catching pieces that truly express my artistic style. I’ve been also using a lot of pencil crayons lately.
Here are a few of my favorite color combinations at the moment :
I have a link to see my favourite art supplies that enhance my creative process. When painting, consider how different colours can evoke emotions and set the tone for your artwork. Embrace the vibrant energy of yellows, the calming quality of blues, and the warmth of reds as you mix and combine them on your palette. Allow yourself to be mindful of the choices you make, and let the colours inspire your imagination.

Field Trip
I had one of those weeks where I just couldn't find any inspiration. So, I decided to shake things up and take my watercolor painting outside. I hopped on my bike and headed to my favorite peaceful riverbank—a place that often sparks my creativity. With my watercolor paint set, sketchbook, a bunch of different-sized brushes, a container for rinsing brushes, and some pens and crayons, I was all set for a fun, creative day.
If you're thinking about painting outdoors, here are a few tips items that I enjoy having with me :

I had a blast painting outdoors, and it really helped bring back my inspiration. I hope this post encourages you to grab your paints and head outside to find your own creative spark. There's nothing like nature to get those creative juices flowing!
