hey there!
Are you ready to make something Beautiful?
Making art doesn’t have to be overly hard or time-consuming. And you certainly don’t need a degree to do it. If you feel the pull to make something by hand, you’re in the right place. Whether you’ve never made art or you’re looking for fresh dose of inspiration, I have just the tutorials you need. Come along and let’s make art and unleash joy.
I’m here to put the JOY back into your life.
(One handmade project at a time).
Not long ago I was feeling stressed and stifled. Each day seemed to pass in a blur of domestic and digital tasks, but with nothing tangible to show at the end. Deep down I knew I wanted to make art, but I was afraid. I didn’t know where to start, I had no idea if it would be any good, and I so desperately wanted to make something I could be proud of. I’m taking all that I’ve learned and condensing it down into easy-to-follow tutorials and lessons. Jump on the fast track and get ready to enjoy some wide-ranging handmade happiness.
I’m Mallory, your art-loving best friend.
I know that artists find their creative voice at all different stages of life. For me, it’s been a winding journey. As a child I wanted to be an artist, writer, and circus performer. I gave up the artistic pursuit by age 10 when I decided I just wasn’t good enough. But actually went on to attend circus school and build a very successful career as a writer.
For some reason, though, the goal of being an artist still seemed unattainable! But eventually I couldn’t ignore my heart’s longing to make things by hand. After all, I’ve never met an art store I didn’t like and I was spending hours dreaming about creating. And then one day I just did it. I painted a (very ugly) watercolor scene… and, well, the rest is history.
