Life is richer, braver, and more beautiful when you reconnect with your creative self.

I see you…

You, who’s been juggling a million responsibilities.
You, who once loved to create, but lost touch with that part of yourself.
You, who secretly wonders: “What if I’m actually an artist too?”

Let me tell you something, you absolutely are an artist!

You’ve spent years nurturing others, showing up for your family, your job, your community—maybe even forgetting what lights you up in the process. You dream of something more, something deeper. A way to bring beauty, meaning, and joy back into your life.

As you bravely navigate the chaos of life tackling marriage, grief, babies, illness, heartbreak, new jobs, perimenopause, or retirement, the call to express your creativity grows, prompting you to seek a creative outlet.

You feel deep down that your soul is yearning for something greater—more beauty, more meaning, and more art—but you're finding it hard to embrace your creativity.

I know that ache. I’ve lived it.

Hey, I’m Misty!

Self-taught mixed media artist and creative guide.

As a kid in northern Cali, art and imagination were my sanctuary as I maneuvered through life in a traumatic environment as a shy, sensitive little girl often struggling with feelings of inadequacy and a sense of not belonging.

I had big dreams of being a cartoonist or a fiction writer, but soon succumb to the tragedy of adulting when my father hit me with the classic, “grow up and get a real job.”

I spent over a decade trying to be the person others expected: the perfect wife, the responsible one, the people pleaser. I let go of my voice, my passions, and my spark… until one day I couldn’t ignore the emptiness anymore. My heart desperately craved something my soul knew I was missing, leaving me in a constant state of dissatisfaction and unhappiness.

The lack of creativity in my daily grind was affecting me on a spiritual level and it was seeping into every corner of my life. I knew I had to rekindle my creativity at all costs—because let’s face it, life is miserable without creativity, inspiration and joy. It took heartbreak, a cross-country move, and one powerful decision to reclaim my life—and art was the path that brought me home to myself.

I found healing, bravery and strength through mixed media. Every piece I created was a step toward rediscovering myself. As I immersed myself in art, I began to see the world with new eyes, finding beauty in the mundane and inspiration in the everyday.

Then one day I had an epiphany: growing up, I was a chameleon, blending into what everyone else wanted but I’ve got my own dreams, wild passions, and GREAT BIG DREAMS waiting to be unleashed! It’s up to me to chase them!

Even though it was a scary and wild time in my life I dove headfirst into the creative universe. I gained confidence in myself and my skills. Suddenly, I was showing my art in galleries, making art sells, landing magazine features and meeting creative women who shared my passion— all while juggling a full-time job! Who would’ve thought a few years ago that at the fabulous age of 32, I’d be chasing my dreams?

During my creative journey, I discovered strength and bravery I never knew I had. Art gave me a voice and a mission, helping me piece together the broken parts of my life and I emerged with a deeper understanding of who I truly am. My journey taught me that art isn’t just a hobby—it was a way of life.

It wasn’t until my divorce at age 30 that art brought me back to life.

Creativity has opened my heart to so many amazing things that guide my daily life, artwork and teaching.

Love & Self Care

Loving yourself with kindness is the key to happiness. Your heart and mind are more creative when you love and take care of yourself. Which makes self-care is so important.

Trust & Honesty

Trusting yourself is invaluable. It opens you up to all the crazy things life throws your way, guides you along the journey and brings you endless possibilities.

Courage & Exploration

When you allow yourself to dream big dreams and make them a reality you are fulfilling your purpose, creating your own happiness and inspiring others to do the same.

Creativity & Passion

Creativity is a healing force. When you open yourself up to it, it can transform your entire life. Embracing your passions and living your joy allows you to honor and cherish your current and future self.
