Pads and Pages

Hi, I’m Joan, the artist behind this channel. I’m a self-taught illustrator since time immemorial, the owner of a small stationery business, which I named Padsandpages, and a mom to my precious boy, whose presence brought me back to my art and and create with heart again.

This channel is a little corner of my life as an artist who have been developing my art style over decades to loving adorable illustrations, journaling, stationery, and slow, intentional moments. Come along and take sneak peeks of my drawings and crafting moments. 

I can’t fix the world.
But I can sit at my desk,
draw something kind,
and send a little softness into someone’s day.
Sometimes that is enough.
