Hello friends,

My name is Vanessa, I am former Social Worker, mom, wife, watercolor paintmaker and artist.  I am weirdly obsessed with all things watercolor and have wrangled my family into my passion.  I have a small business - The Sprout Creative where I sell my artisanal handmade paints.

Our little business is named after our 6 year old daughter, who we nicknamed Sprout (her real name is Laura Eva, I'm not that cruel hahaha).  She loves to paint and create alongside me.  My family inspires so much of the work that I do.

Painting for me is quite intuitive.  Being a Social Worker for 16 years really has changed my life view as well as definition of self care.  Intuitive painting came out of the need to take care of myself, to de-stress from rough days at work and put myself in a mental space where I'm giving the best part of myself to my loved ones.  I start the majority of my pieces without a final outcome in mind.   I like to open myself up to the moment, painting what inspires me with every stroke of the brush.

If you would like to follow my processes, get some insight into the creativity behind my art and join me with some live painting sessions, you can follow me here:
