hi there!
I’m Audrey - a teaching artist to over 50k students, lover of plants and nature, and your #watercolorbestie.
audrey's story
I'm a self-taught artist that found her creative voice through a mental health journey that started in 2016. When I was at the lowest point in my life, I found bullet journaling, then calligraphy, and then watercolor. Each opened me up to the wonder of the world around me and I was able to find myself again. I'm living proof that art's healing power. And I want to share that experience with each of you. I enjoy noticing the details, capturing the essence of a subject, and creating pretty things that make my heart smile.
As a trained educator, I like to teach in a constructive way to help you grasp and gain confidence with watercolor basics. But I also promote letting go of perfectionism and expectations and letting watercolors literally wash your anxiety away.
I hope through my online courses, in person workshops, tutorials, and even my shop (right here!), you can discover the wonder of watercolors and the creativity in you.
I'm located in the Chicagoland area and proud to be an AAPI and woman-owned small business.

about the shop
Ever since I was little, I made cards and scrapbooks for friends and family. I was the one that would send hand-crafted valentine's day cards to all my girlfriends, paint a lopsided cake for a birthday friend, and deliver homemade ornaments for Christmas. I'm a stationery snob. I like pretty writing. And I want to bring back the art (and fun!) of handwritten and personal touches to gifts.
I hope that my creations brighten the day-whether it's for yourself or for a loved one.
