Baking cookies & breaking stigma!
As a gal with ADHD and a colourful bag of mental health delights, who really cannot control herself creatively, this here little shop is just a place I want to share my specific brand of art with you.
For years I'd been teaching mindful-baking for it's positive effects on mental health, but then I realised there were so many fun ways to share this great passion- and not just through 'eating' cookies!
So I got my experimentation cap on and decided what would happen if I added a little varnish here... some fun illustration techniques there... and decided to learn the entire Adobe Suite (because why not, right??)
my process
When I'm not hustling or caring for my kiddo, I like to bake sugar cookies to help relax and regulate my nervous system (and fuel my brain and tastebuds with dopamine). These cookies get a good makeover with a few edible and non-edible mediums, and then I shoot, paint, and work in my home studio, much to the delight of my daughter and two emotionally supportive doggos- borf borf!
my products
If you have ADHD you'll know what it's like to have ever-changing and evolving projects flying in and out of your brain. This is why you'll find many different art-based products jump in and out of my store. So keep your eyes peeled, you never what I might drop next!
my promise
I want to create art that expresses my lived experience with anxiety and the benefits that positive affirmations and cookies have had for me (on top of all the clinical stuff of course - shout out to my support team!), but ultimately my art is about connecting: so please never be afraid to reach out say hello. I promise I'll be here with arms open wide, and maybe even a cookie or two.
