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.

Lunchtime art fun! Just copics and doodles with a ballpoint pen. If I keep it loose and relaxed, I can get out of my own way. My coworker said she looked too orange so I layered a new color and I love it! #journalgirl #copic #artjournal

Hanging out at the library and art journaling. You don't need fancy supplies or a lot of stuff to express yourself! What are you making today? #journalgirl

Can you tell what I was watching last night? I often have stuff on in the background while I play, and it helped since I knew I wanted to practice but didn't know what to write! I'm really enjoying the Netflix show, even if it is a little darker than the books were. As a child, I needed that. Now, I can understand more. What are you binge watching lately? #journalgirl
