This is 43.

Still learning new things and stepping out of my comfort zone. 

Every day attempting to cultivate more joy and let go of my attachments.

Evolving each year, learning a new type of love that says I never needed to change in the first place. 

Grateful for my family and friends and art and yoga and the earth. 

Releasing this set of original watercolors next week on 4/11 to my email subscribers, available 4/12 to everyone else on @etsy

I’m so grateful to @canvasrebel for interviewing me and allowing me to deep dive into the story of my creative path and career!

I’ve added a link to my profile so you can easily click over and read all about how I ended up where I did. Find out what I consider the most rewarding part of my job, along with my advice for people who consider themselves “not creative”. 

And thank you Canvas Rebel for the wonderful work you do spotlighting the mission and purpose of everyday people 🙏🏻🙏🏻

What a great market! Thank you to everyone who came out to Art Walk on Union yesterday in Concord! Met a lot of new friends along with a whole slew of returning customers, and I think it’s safe to say we all had a fantastic day! 

It never gets old connecting with people, it’s truly my favorite thing about this kind of work. And to have my daughter by my side all day to keep me company, on top of my parents and a few good friends stopping by (!!) made the day that much better.

Oh and to sell a large original on top of all of that! It’s a rush that never gets old. Thank you to my collectors 🥰😘

Big shout out to @cabarrusartscouncil for hosting a flawless event yet again! The support you offer this little art community has a gigantic impact. And last but certainly not least, thank you to the big clouds in the sky for holding off on the downpour that happened shortly after we were all packed up in the car and driving home. 😅

This was my last market for a good while, I’ve decided to slow my roll on events so that I can properly refill my cup and get back to making some brand new art. 

You can still find me on my Etsy shop In the meantime in between time. taken in Concord, North Carolina by @aarynwest

“As an artist and small business owner, Art Walk on Union is always one of my favorite events of the year.”

Meet Aaryn Nutter of Aaryn West®, a self-taught watercolor artist and experienced textile designer based right here in Cabarrus County. Her art-centered lifestyle brand features original paintings, art prints, paper goods, and other giftable pieces, available through pop-up markets and local boutiques.

With a 20-year career designing graphics and textiles for the fashion industry, Aaryn brings an optimistic approach to color and a love of expressive, feminine florals to her work. Her watercolor paintings are inspired by “a youthful curiosity and a profound gratitude for the beauty and magic of nature,” using the spontaneous, unpredictable nature of watercolor inks to create a process she describes as “a moving meditation through paint.”

And for Aaryn, being a local artist is a big part of the fun.

“Being a resident of Cabarrus County, it’s one of the most exciting opportunities I have to connect with local customers and other businesses right in my own backyard.”

Come meet Aaryn and shop her work at Art Walk on Union, Saturday, September 12 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in downtown Concord! 

Art Walk on Union is presented by the Cabarrus Arts Council and the City of Concord and sponsored by Uwharrie Bank and Fifth Third Bank.

September is blooming at the Wellness Center. 🌿✨

As we begin the slow turn toward autumn, we’re gathering around the things that bring us back to ourselves: plant wisdom, creativity, meaningful connection, ritual, rest, and the simple magic of making something with our own hands.

This month, the Wellness Center is opening its doors for four beautiful experiences:

🌿 Alchemy Tuesday: Fire Cider
September 22 | 5:30–7:30 PM
Gather in the Alchemical Herbarium to learn the folk tradition of fire cider and create your own seasonal herbal preparation to take home.

🌾 The Empowered Woman Gathering: The Sacred Harvest
September 23 | 6–9 PM
An intimate evening for women to gather in sisterhood, honor what this season has grown within us, and celebrate our own sacred harvest.

🎨 Watercolor Flowers + Tea with Aaryn West
September 26 | 1–4 PM
An afternoon of watercolor, beautiful tea, creativity, and play with the incredibly talented Aaryn West.

🌙 The Alchemy of Surrender
September 26 | 6–8 PM
Close the day in The Jade Room with an immersive evening of sound, stillness, nervous-system exhale, and sacred surrender.

Come for the experience that calls to you—or make September a month of gathering, creating, learning, and tending to yourself in new ways.

Space for each gathering is intentionally limited. Visit the Events + Ceremonies page on my website to reserve your place.

I cannot wait to welcome you into this beautiful house. 🌿

Join me for a truly unique painting experience on Saturday, 8/29 for a three hour watercolor floral workshop at the beautiful Ashley Masters Wellness Center here in Charlotte. 

This event invites you to slow down, sip tea brewed by a master herbalist, and explore the expressive beauty of painting in a relaxed, inspiring setting. You’ll be introduced to the vibrant, fluid nature of watercolor inks as you create loose, abstract florals through an intuitive approach to color and composition. Rather than focusing on perfection, we’ll embrace play, experimentation, and the organic movement of the medium. 

Tea service will be woven throughout the afternoon, creating a leisurely, creative escape where conversation, creativity, and quiet moments of inspiration come together. Perfect for beginners and experienced painters alike, you’ll leave refreshed, inspired, and with a one-of-a-kind floral painting of your own. 

Tickets to this event can be found in my profile links. Hope to see you there.

hi friends! it’s been a good while since I’ve hopped on here to say hi, and perhaps reintroduce myself to some of my newer friends and followers. first and foremost, thanks for following along with my brand Aaryn West. 

I’m Aaryn - an artist and textile designer based out of Charlotte, NC, creating whimsical products and fine art with my flowing and colorful watercolor paintings. 

I’m a painter, a textile designer, a card maker, a photo taker. A mom, a wife, a yogi, and lover of funk and soul music. 

I’m still a child that loves to make people laugh and celebrate their every win. I’m a people person, through and through. I love hot coffee and driving by myself and early bedtimes. 

I don’t consider myself a visual person - I think I’m an auditory person. Or maybe a tactile person - I even have a favorite type of fabric because it feels good. 

Do you have a favorite sensory perception, and also share my childlike wonder? Perhaps you love yoga or adore funk? Drop me a comment so I know I’m not speaking into the void, and maybe let me know why you’re still here with me this far down into this post! 

Thanks for being here 😊

One of my favorite things about Five Goddess Farm is that it isn’t only a tea room.

It’s also a place where creativity is celebrated.

Alongside our handcrafted teas and botanical offerings, you’ll discover beautiful work created by talented local artists whose pieces each bring their own unique magic into the space.

Browse the whimsical pottery of Whimsy Ridge Pottery, the expressive paintings of Aaryn West Fine Art, and the beautiful stained glass creations by Janessa. Every piece tells a story, every artist pours their heart into their work, and every purchase supports another small business in our community.

When you shop here, you’re supporting an entire circle of women who create with intention, beauty, and heart.

I hope you’ll come discover your next favorite treasure.
