Crafting the perfect piece to spark your sense of adventure!

hello!

I am Kirsten, the creative force behind Watercolor Wednesday. As an artist, busy mom, wife, architect, and chocolate lover, I paint pretty things in my spare time.

Beginnings

During a study abroad in Denmark, I deepened my love for painting by committing to a weekly blog series, usually on Wednesdays.

After returning home, I started making greeting cards and sold them on Etsy. Upon graduating, I paused Watercolor Wednesday to focus on my architecture career, but I continued painting for personal joy.

A decade later, Watercolor Wednesday has grown into a brand and business. Through my art, I aim to capture the spirit of outdoor adventure - a love my husband and I share as we immerse our three boys into, life outside.

Thank you for following along!
