Today, I felt an instant relief.
Not because my artwork sold or because I gained thousands of views, but because, for the first time, I allowed myself to be seen as a handmade artist.
For years, I poured my creativity into pages, sketches, and private thoughts. Like many emerging artists, I struggled with artist anxiety, self-doubt, and the fear of sharing my original art with the world. But something shifted today.
Creating Paper & Pigments was more than just launching an online art store. It was a personal milestone — a place where I could finally express myself freely, showcase my handcrafted art, and connect with people who resonate with it.
This platform gives me purpose. No longer am I just dreaming and hiding my ideas in journals — I’m now bringing them to life through color, texture, and emotion. I can immerse myself in a creative world where I feel brave, inspired, and connected.
This is the beginning of a journey — one that’s raw, emotional, and meaningful. Whether you’re a fellow art lover, a new collector, or someone simply browsing for unique wall art, I’m grateful you’re here.
Welcome to Paper & Pigments — where every brushstroke tells a story.
