Sharing stories, dreams, and aspirations as I up-end my life and start a small business as I rediscover the artist I was always meant to be.
I am an artist 🎨, UGC Creator 🎥, and Etsy Small Business owner. Whether you’re a curious traveler, a budding artist, or a seasoned creator, there’s something here to inspire your journey. Let’s wander and create!
My vision for A Wandering Palette is to create a sanctuary where others can find that same sense of relief, peace, and discovery through art. It’s about helping people reconnect with their creativity, find joy in creating with their hands, and experience the healing power of art as they build something from the heart.
