Early in the pandemic, like so many others, I found myself doing a great deal of baking. Deciding I needed a hobby that was a little less calorie-dense, I asked my husband to buy me some watercolor paints for Christmas in 2020.

Over the next few months, and with a great deal of help from online tutorials, I discovered how relaxing and satisfying watercolor painting is. I painted most evenings during the pandemic and it was a wonderful source of calm and self-care, in an otherwise challenging time.

As my pile of paintings began to grow, friends and family started asking for them, so I decided to share them online and in the Made in Burlington online community.

I hope you enjoy them.
