Hello, and welcome! I’m Karen, an artist, writer, and the founder behind Hermit & Hue CIC.

I’ve always believed that creativity isn't about perfection; it’s about taking a quiet breath, noticing the small details around us, and giving ourselves permission to simply pause. Whether it's capturing a fleeting moment with a camera lens, playing with watercolours, or finding a pocket of stillness in a busy day, creative expression is a powerful way to ground ourselves.

Mindful Moments: 50 Prompts for a Creative Pause was born out of a desire to share those gentle, pressure-free pauses with you.

When you order a book or a resource through this shop, you aren't just supporting an independent creative project, you are also directly helping to fund the community wellbeing work we do through Hermit & Hue CIC, bringing creative connection and mental health support right into our local community.

Thank you so much for stopping by, supporting independent publishing, and taking a little time out for your own creative journey today.

Warmly,

Karen
