Hello, Lovely!
I’m Christine My Linh.
I create serene illustrations and tell meaningful stories for the gentle creative heart. Welcome to our cozy studio, our favorite reading nook, and our calm escape.
“I have a dream to create an illustrative world that helps gentle creative hearts find inner peace and be brave.”
About
I'm a petite dreamer with Disney-sized dreams. But for most of my life, I struggled to accept myself and find my place in this world. And through many ugly crying moments, I've learned that I'm more capable than I once thought. We all are.
Think of this space as a collection of pick-me-ups, vulnerable stories, and illustrations that can expand your imagination and remind you that you're not alone.
Speaking of which, want to read a good story and meet the bunny and the bear?
Artist Journal
This is not your average blog.
This is where my sketchbook, journal, notes, and life lessons come together. It’s where the bunny and bear shine, as your imagination roams and grows freely. So throw on some comfy pants and...
or start here!
Values
I believe in taking time to expand the imagination and to grow the sense of self. There is no rush.
And when it comes to my process, I value these three the most:
Experimentation.
Mistakes have turned into something we fear. But they can improve our lives if we let them be our teachers. We don't lose to mistakes; We learn from them. And they have led me to the most significant decisions I've ever made.
Patience.
I once believed the more I created, the more successful I'd become. But I learned that I work best slowly and carefully. We all have different preferences. Find the patience to know and live yours.
Gratitude.
My stories stem from some of my lowest moments. But I chose to share them with appreciation and acceptance. Being able to let go, learn, and live wholeheartedly means you can overcome anything.
