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.

Two birds, one stone, and 38 books.
Have you ever googled yourself? If you haven’t you really should. Rechecking the security settings on facebook, led me down a rabbit hole of memory and contemplating the benefits and downsides of a digital life.
The worst and best week.
It’s possible to love and hate a holiday, right? I’ve never been a fan of the day after Thanksgiving aka Black Friday. What do you do? Are you an early riser or an online shopper? Are you like me and ignore it?
I got the dreaded letter.
It’s a random day, you get the mail and as you begin to sort through the endless junk mail…there it is…Jury Summons. The heart feels like it’s dropped to your gut and you quickly open to figure out which week has to be dipped in chaos. Lots of words run through your mind. The first thought, how can I get out of it?
Can you be RAW?
Ai and photography, like a thorn in my side or an itch I can’t quite reach. Which photo is real? While those filtered “bold glamour” photos, and altered views of you are fun; in 50 years, how will this altered view impact you when your memory fades?
Fate, coincidence, or luck?
There have been moments in my life that have occurred when I questioned everything, when a different choice would have changed my future and existence. Is it fate, coincidence, or luck? You tell me.
I failed.
I used to think of failure as a negative thing. Now it’s a part of my growth. I try and learn from it. Previously, I would go dark, critical, and become that OVER analyzing everything I did — person.
