Hi there! I'm Samantha Kira Harding, aka Samie, a writer, artist, & videographer from Phoenix, Arizona.

When I'm not rockin' it on freelance video & graphic design gigs, I'm painting, and writing. All. The. Time.

I exhibit locally in Phoenix & attend fairs with my artwork and book, 101 Mixed Media Techniques.

I've had Fibromyalgia/CFS for 17 years, along with an alphabet soup of medical issues. Creativity and art saved my life. I also write about grief, suicide/mental illness awareness, and chronic illness.

A bit of wisdom from an old journal. I’ve started journaling like this again, as it helps with the overwhelm and grief. I’m slowly emerging from the storm clouds, and finding myself and the same time. What do you think about the process of creation? #journalgirl #inspiration

Lunchtime doodles. I’m learning to trust myself. I recently realized that my anxiety causes me to not trust myself. So when I’m drawing, I don’t trust my hand. I think I need to heal that relationship, so I have a cheap notebook and colorful pens. This is my #100dayproject. #journalgirl #artjournal

Thank the Gods of paint! And @goldenpaints thank you! I have missed this color so much and only had about half a bottle of fluid acrylic left. When I saw this at @blickartmaterials I grabbed it and didn’t even care about the price. 🎨🎆🎇#journalgirl
