Meet Alaina:

“I always dreamed of painting with watercolor. From the age of six when filling out an ‘about me’ poster in grade school, it was my dream, but it took until I finally quit my corporate job (11 years in!) for creativity to find its way back into my life. Now, several years later, I am enjoying stretching my abilities and exploring what is possible with this medium. Flowers and portraits draw most of my focus, with an occasional nature scene demanding it be brought to life.”

I paint with water mediums on paper and canvas to immortalize the
beauty I see, and your cherished memories.

Here’s a look at my first show in December 2023 at
Emerald Art Center

Alaina is admittedly relatively new to painting. She has only been working toward completing original paintings off and on for three years. However, Alaina have always been creative - in many different ways (and this continues to be true). From watercolor and acrylic painting, to sewing dresses for her nieces, to making up recipes, to doing handy projects around the house… the Do-Ing is always in process. In the past, she had a blog with musings about daily learnings, baking and projects. Alaina hopes to bring that back before 2024 is up - you can check out past thoughts and things here
