Welcome to ' ink & bear it', an original abstract art shop with designs featuring acrylic, mixed media, watercolor and alcohol ink. My shop was born from my discovery of using art and poetry as a therapy tool in dealing with diagnosed anxiety and depression. Focusing on creating these pieces brings me joy and creates a sense of calm within me that I wouldn't feel otherwise. This is why I've adopted a "therapy through art" approach. All of my designs are reflections of myself and my personality. I draw inspiration from everyday life and the swirl of emotions I often feel. Pieces are largely influenced by the calming aspect of nature. I am no professional, just a woman who loves the creative and loves to create!

Your support of my shop helps me continue to create art and find peace in a chaotic world. When life gets me down, sometimes all that's left to do is take a brush to paper, ink & bear it.


Here's a link to a blog article regarding my artwork and my inspiration behind it :)
