pursuing my dreams in a small country town

pursuing my dreams in a rural town - on being an artist (captions in English and Spanish)
Just wanted to share a little about my work and why I do what I do, where I get my creativity and inspiration. Also, why I love watercolor painting, and my philosophy as an artist and creator.

I’m so happy to share that my book - The Cottage Fairy Companion - is now available for pre-order!

I don’t have any particular art books to recommend since I generally do not use them. I know Pinterest is very useful to many artists seeking new ideas! I will use it occasionally.
