FOR THE LOVE OF ORNAMENTS
Getting lost in the endless creative possibilities of arranging shapes and flourishes together to re-create images truly makes my creative soul sing!
It’s a little know fact that my design aesthetics seems to fall into the Pareidolia* category!
*Pareidolia: the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern.
SMALL BATCH PRINTS
Small batch prints - WHY? Simply put, Arquoise is not a large scale production studio. Each card is a hand-made original, carefully designed and hand-printed with love and intention. Arquoise was created as a soulful endeavour with a purpose to spread sparkles of light, kindness, thoughtful giving and love through tiny paper products. All cards are printed on premium 100% cotton paper and paired with a cheerful mixed fibre colour envelope.
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”
HAND PRESSED STATIONERY & ART MATTERS
I have deep desire to share my art and paper vessels to honour and sustain the old-world connection of the written words and emotive visuals. A simple handwritten note or a heartfelt card has the power to spark healing and create profound connections.
The unique handwriting of a loved one carries a special sense of authenticity, kindness, love and connection, something I aim to honor through my art.
My print studio, along with my meditative art practice, serve as sacred spaces where I create and reconnect with these heartfelt values creating artwork and paper vessels for capturing memories of past and present.
INTUITIVE WATERCOLOUR
My art practice is profoundly intuitive. It emerges from a place of flow, guided by the frequency of my hands rather than external demands. Intuitive art, at its core, stems from within—inspired by both internal emotions and external experiences.
This journey of creation is ever-evolving as I embrace, nurture and merge the creative callings that resonate with me. Through healing past experiences and opening myself to new, fulfilling ones, my work transcends mediums, becoming a channel for creativity, healing, and connection in my life.
Custom watercolour commissions are welcomed with the understanding of its beautifully intuitive process.
