Carolynn Anctil Design

Watercolour Illustrator * Storyteller

Handcrafted in Canada.

My style of art creation is lighthearted, with a hint of magic, and is designed to inspire joy. It is my sincere hope that my works of art are a place of rest for a mind made weary by the noise and chaos of our world.

Have you heard about my Art Initiative?

#joyfulartcreation

I created this hashtag to celebrate the creation of art, purely for the pleasure it brings. It’s not about making “good” art (whatever that means), or even art that sells. It’s about tapping into our natural inclination to play and not about monetary gain. It can feel like a rebellious act.

I’m committed to following this feeling of freedom and playful expression wherever it leads. If you decide to join me, please use this hashtag and tag me, so I can follow along.
