I have been journaling and writing stories since before I can remember. I used to fill composition books full of my thoughts and fears, my hopes and dreams, and auto-biographical stories. Only around the spring of 2009 did I start to incorporate art and writing. I wanted to combine my expressive writing journals and my inspiration visual journals and my art journals are the end result of that.

In 2004 I started a blog called the soul of hope, and shared with the word collage art and thoughts that were in my heart. I quickly gained a following and my blog grew and I started a greeting card company (Paper Relics), offered online journaling classes (Besottment) and opened my freelance graphic and web design business (Hope Wallace Design). A lot has happened since then! But I am still at it, creating every day in my work and personal life. 

Now all new content, free and paid, is posted on my Patreon – I would love to see you over there!
