I’m so excited to share that I have an Etsy shop! Over the holidays I was making cards and art for loved ones and was pleasantly surprised by how much people loved them, so I wanted to create a shop so I could share my art with more people. Anyone close to me knows how much I love my dogs, so it was a given that I’d be doing personalized pet portraits! I can also hand-letter their name on the portrait. I also love the look of faceless portraits. Quotes and song lyrics are very important to me, and special to others, too, so I wanted to incorporate that into the faceless portraits by giving you an option for me to hand-letter a short quote or lyric on them. I’d be so appreciative if you supported my Etsy shop! If you don’t purchase for yourself, I’d love it if you passed it along to someone who may like it. I’ve been doing ink and watercolor paintings the past couple years and absolutely love the process! I’m also excited to share I am finalizing a few finishing touches on my very own greeting cards, thank you cards and Valentine’s Day cards. Those will be coming soon! I love the two listings I have up right now but I’m so excited to add more! Stay tuned and follow @lexiemanionart The link to my shop is also in my bio. Thank you to those who have supported me so far!

To anyone out there who may feel hopeless.

I’m loving my necklace from @rainandbow__ — it’s their “Overcoming My Depression” sterling silver necklace. The message carries great meaning for me as I’m in recovery from depression and have struggled with it for many years. It’s important we talk about these struggles because it can be very isolating and even shameful. When we’re open about it, we break the silence and stigma. Rain + Bow is donating $10 of every necklace purchased to Mental Health America. I’ve partnered with them so you can use discount code “lexie”, which doubles the donation from $10 to $20. What I really like about this necklace is that it’s a very pretty and soft design, although the pendant is sturdy like a coin, and the message is very tiny so it’s more of a personal reminder to myself to take good care of myself, rather than a statement to others. It feels more personal this way. The link is in my bio if you’d like to shop this design or more! Their designs are gorgeous!

You’re not required to bare it all in the name of authenticity.
