Welcome to My Beautifully Askew World

The kind of places where you can curl up with a cup of coffee, wander through pages filled with stories, admire beautiful photographs, and leave feeling just a little lighter than when you arrived.

That’s what I hope this little corner of the internet becomes.

Welcome to The Duchess of Kooky.

This is where I’ll be sharing the things that inspire me most—watercolor paintings, photography, digital art, tarot, seasonal living, my family’s Sicilian heritage, and the quiet moments that remind me beauty is often found in the everyday.

I’m still learning, still creating, and still discovering who I’m becoming—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Not having all the answers, but remaining curious enough to keep exploring.

Whether I’m painting with watercolors, camera in hand watching another California sunset, shuffling a tarot deck with my morning coffee, or researching the stories of the family members who came before me, I’m happiest when I’m creating something meaningful.

My hope is that this journal becomes more than a collection of posts.

I hope it becomes a place where we can slow down together.

Where creativity is celebrated.

Where curiosity is encouraged.

And where a little everyday magic is always welcome.

Thank you for being here at the very beginning.

I’m so glad you stopped by.

Welcome to my beautifully askew world.

Wishing you a little everyday magic,

Lulu VonBelle
