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.

Here’s a clip of this week’s Mood Board Monday. Check out the blog for the full video and more! I’m thinking about doing an “after the video” kind of thing where I explain my process and why I chose the supplies I did. Would there be any interest in this? Let me know! #journalgirl #moodboardartmonday #mixedmedia #artjournal #janedavenport

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
