Nook and Helm

Nook and Helm Watercolor and Collage I moved to Spokane, WA from the "East" side back in 2022 and I love the people, the pace of life and the beautiful seasons here.

I travel back to western WA often to visit with family and friends. It was here in Spokane where I first picked up a watercolor brush, and I was instantly mesmerized. Nook and Helm is the both, the place where I create, and the reminder that every artist's journey is unique to them, and we must all chart our own course. Balancing art and life. When I am not home educating the final four of eight c

hildren, I love getting out to my studio where I work primarily in watercolor and watercolor collage, drawn to the medium’s fluidity, transparency, and expressive potential. My practice centers on capturing the nuances of life—its rhythms, textures, and quiet moments—through layered compositions.

A love for nature is contagious. Currently terrarium builds have taken over my house and I am suffering a serious shortage of jars 😅💛 Construction in progress on this secondhand fish tank for their paludarium. On the upside, if my son ever gets the vampire crabs he's researching, I'm thinking some beautiful reference shots will be in my future painting plans.

"Small Beginnings" Watercolor Collage was a tiny little crane I painted long ago when my brother was visiting. It was the first time I had painted infront of anyone besides my children. I remember how he loved seeing the process, and he is still one of my biggest fans. Now, removed from the original page, and has found a new home layered amongst textured water and craggy rocks. If you're content with your own small beginnings, and where you are today, perhaps this piece will remind you of how far you have come, on the path you are on. www.nookandhelm.com
