Welcome to Salt Hippy

Beauty after loss. Art that honors healing.

Salt Hippy was born from seasons of change and loss, moments when creativity became a way to slow down and begin again.

Inspired by ocean life, botanicals, and organic forms, my work reflects cycles of endurance and renewal. These designs are meant to offer pause, comfort, and connection.

Art does not fix what has been lost, but can hold space for what remains.

Workshops

Creativity has a way of helping us slow down, reconnect, and notice the beauty around us.

Whether you're picking up a paintbrush for the first time or returning to a creative practice you once loved, my workshops are designed to be welcoming, relaxing, and inspiring. Together we'll explore watercolor, nature-inspired subjects, and the simple joy of making something with our hands.

Kind words

  • Sarah :

    "Your artwork stirs something in me, like listening to my music, feeling energy from afar, so much emotion. It’s amazing and I’m so glad I found you."

  • Ali :

    Your work makes me SO happy. I was blown away by the quality of my print, and the details in the artwork. Thank you! I can't wait to hang this up in our bedroom!

  • Debbie

    I miss the ocean now that I am landlocked. Following your art journey has helped miss the ocean less, espically now that I have your artwork near me to remind of its beauty.
