Just popping in for a quick update! This is the first of this week's two canvases.

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.

Don't just live - thrive. That word has captivated me ever since I learned that used to be a cause of death - failure to thrive. It's so sad. And I want to thrive, to keep doing so, to not turn into a ghost of myself. I'm surprisingly deep for a Tuesday morning! Ha! #sketchbook #journalgirl #artjournal #mixedmedia

Lunchtime doodles. I've stopped standing in my own way and am letting the ideas flow out into the world. #artjournal #sketchbook #journalgirl

I think I've found a new fav - deconstructing pages. I don't want it to just be a book of pages. I want things to stack, to be hidden, to reveal secrets. And you can't do that if you think the journal itself is precious. #journalgirl #mixedmedia #sketchbook #collage
