About Miniature Paintings & Art Cards
I use 300 GSM cold press paper for every mini-art card, which means they keep their shape and color vibrancy even when you tuck them into a phone case or prop them up on your desk. Because these are hand-painted, every piece carries tiny variations in brushstrokes—that is intentional, as I love embracing the natural imperfections that make each item feel truly unique to you.
My miniature art collection is all about bringing small joys into your daily routine. Whether you are looking for a cottagecore bookmark to tuck into your current read or a custom phone insert that you can swap out whenever your mood changes, these pieces are designed to be functional and aesthetic.
My Process
I primarily work with high-quality gouache and watercolor. I love the opaque, creamy finish of gouache for my vibrant floral wreaths, while watercolor allows for those soft, translucent washes you see in my seascape studies. Sometimes, I even use coffee to paint—yes, actual coffee—which gives those beautiful, earthy sepia tones that feel both rustic and timeless.
How to Style Your Mini Art
- For your workspace: A mini art card on a small easel can soften the look of a busy laptop setup.
- For your essentials: My custom phone inserts are cut to fit your specific model, turning your device into a little canvas.
- For gifting: Every bookmark comes tucked in a signature brown kraft paper envelope, complete with a hand-drawn doodle and a note from me. It is a little extra touch to make your gift feel personal from the moment you unwrap it.
If you have a specific vibe in mind—maybe a favorite sunset or a little corner of a city you love—reach out. I love turning personal memories into these little pockets of art.
