Welcome!
I’m Gayla Irwin, a watercolor artist and spiritual director who creates nature-inspired art to help people slow down, notice beauty, and enjoy the healing benefits of creativity.

I lead The Creative Way, a monthly digital membership blending watercolor, reflection, and the contemplative prayer practice of Visio Divina, helping you connect with God through art.

My watercolor designs feature pomegranates, prickly pear cactus, buffalo, floral crosses, sheep, and other botanical, floral, and nature-themed motifs—all inspired by the wonder of the natural world and my faith.

In my shop, you’ll find greeting cards, stickers, art prints, tea towels, gifts, and seasonal items—perfect for your home, for giving, or for adding a touch of beauty to everyday life.
