Where To Begin

My dear friends, 

I could very well start at the beginning, but I believe living in the now and following my bliss is most definitely supreme.

I live a fairy-tale life. After spending decades of disregarding my bestowed gifts and childhood dreams of being an Illustrator and Author, I feel quite comfortable in now saying, I have finally "swum home."

I am an artist living in a little coastal cottage called "Staffordshire" with my Beloved Gardener and rabbit.

I create customised paintings, (which I call MerMaidlings or Little Women). I also curate essential oil healing blends and personalised treasure chest tools to encourage and inspire ones transformational tale (journey) through the Law of Attraction (specifically Abraham-Hicks teachings).

I infuse each piece with floral/herb and seaweed tinctures. The flowering/herb tinctures and blends I create are from my gardens here at my little cottage, and the seaweed sourcing is from a tiny family-owned business that hand harvests Irish seaweed from around the shores and the coast of Ireland.
I believe that complimenting each custom piece with tinctures and fragrant waters sends out a little bit of my heart and love into the universe.

I most assuredly admire each beautiful soul that purchases my art. It brings such wonderment and magic to my MerryMaid heart.

I am significantly inspired by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Tasha Tudor and Beatrix Potter. I discreetly embody their way of living through emulation by living a very antiquated lifestyle.
I am also in the process of writing and illustrating a children's book series. One of which will be released Spring of 2018. 

I am especially happy for all of the beautiful adventures that await me. I surely would love it if you swam along with me.

Most affably yours til my next swim, Raquel
