A peek inside the envelope...
Each month is a little different ,but every envelope includes a thoughtful mix of art, writing and creative surprises designed to bring more beauty, presence and thoughtfulness to your daily life.
AN ORIGINAL ART PRINT
A high quality giclee 5x7" print of an original artwork.
A PERSONAL ESSAY
Honest, slightly unhinged, vulnerable writing on creativity, motherhood and life.
CREATIVE EXTRAS
Journal prompts, stickers, postcards, pressed flowers, playlists, or any other small items that feel necessary and creative that month.
REAL LIFE INSPIRATION
A reminder that creativity lives in some of the most ordinary moments too.
You probably dont need more stuff.
You might need a reason to stop for a moment though.
Paper & Paint is a small, monthly envelope filled with original art, honest, and sometimes a little unhinged, writing, and creative invitations designed with heart to pull you out of the noise for a little while.
It's not about having more on your plate, it's about making space to nourish your soul. A pause. A moment of inspiration. A little beauty that comes straight to your mailbox.
Real words. Real moments. Real Life.
My essays explore creativity, motherhood, chaos, slowing down, embracing the messy, beautiful rhythm of everyday life. They're the kind of words that feel like a conversation with a close friend, the one who really see's your truth and embraces it.
This is Paper & Paint
October's edition began with an essay I attempted to write while my three-year-old interrupted me 26 times.
Inside this month's envelope:
-
A letter about creativity, motherhood, and making things in the middle of real life.
-
A fine-art print of my Heron painting
-
A coordinating art sticker
-
The Purple Sparkly Pent - a set of journal prompts inspired by the essay and appropriately embellished with said three-year-olds glitter glue.

A Note...
I started Paper & Paint because I longed for something slower.
Something tangible.
Something that didn't ask you to buy more, scroll longer, or move faster.
Just something beautiful waiting in your mailbox once a month.
Every month, I gather the things that have made me pause and smile and send them your way.
It's my way of sharing the practice that has changed my own life:
paying closer attention.
To the people we love.
To the places we call home.
To the small moments that quietly become our favorite memories.
If these letters help you notice just one more beautiful thing this month, they've done exactly what I hoped they would.

Kind Words
The Why
Because somewhere along the way, we've stopped noticing.
We're surrounded by beautiful things every day, yet we're often too busy to see them.
A moth on the driveway.
Morning light through the kitchen window.
A favorite passage in a well-loved book.
The way wildflowers grow without asking anyone to notice.
Paper & Paint was born from the belief that these ordinary moments deserve our attention.
Every month is an invitation to slow down, look a little closer, and remember that wonder isn't something we find.
It's something we practice.
Something beautiful that's yours.
Real art. Real Letters. Real Life.
Cancel anytime. Always made with care.

From my studio, to your mailbox
Hi, I'm Emily.
I'm a painter, writer, and mom who believes beauty isn't something we stumble across, it's something we learn to notice.
Paper & Paint began because I wanted to create something tangible in a world that constantly asks us to move faster.
Thank you for letting my work become part of your home.
