Hi, I’m Keita.
A Mum of three and a British/Canadian artist. When the paints are down, you'll catch me on our family farm, googling herbology, enjoying a cozy cup of tea, or teaching singing lessons - all woven in among mothering.
I live tucked away in the mountains of BC, Canada, surrounded by nature; I'm constantly evolving as an artist and a mom. Every painting captures part of a journey — yours, mine, and the beautiful invisible web that ties humans together.
My art is a mix of the wild wonders of nature and a rollercoaster of our emotional experiences. Whether it's a bold oil portrait, floral watercolour or an inked animal, there's a healing story to each piece.
Yet my passion isn’t just about paints on canvases; it's about the incredible healing power of creativity. Whether that’s by transforming your environment with a beautiful painting, exploring your emotions through creative practices, or completely re-designing your life. I’m here to support the overwhelmed woman yearning to reignite her creative spark who strives to find beauty in everyday moments.
it all Started on my Kitchen Island…
Among the chaos of newly becoming a single mom to three children under four, working out of a basket on the countertop, with a brush in one hand and a baby monitor in the other, I began to see just how much creativity could change our lives. I've been in the creative and healing arts for over two decades, starting my freelance journey at 22 and stepping into entrepreneurship at 25. Through it all, my art and teaching—whether it’s painting and singing lessons, or even face painting locally — creativity not only fuels my soul but also supports my family.
In crafting a life where I’m present for my kids while pursuing my passion, I've realized that creativity isn’t just an outlet; it’s a lifeline. I believe in the healing power of weaving creativity into our daily lives. In fact, I think it’s a necessity, especially for mothers.
Creativity doesn't always need quiet hours at a desk or in a studio.
It thrives in the stolen moments…
Like sketching while the kettle boils, humming a new tune while folding laundry, or letting your mind wander to the colours of your next painting as you watch your kiddies play. It's about seeing those moments not as interruptions but as invitations to weave creativity into the fabric of our daily lives.
Being an artist isn't just about the end product; it's about the process, the journey, the way we see the world and translate it into something new. Your dream of being an artist isn't tied to the amount of time you spend on your art; it's woven into the very fabric ofwho you are, in every moment.
