Hi, I’m Alli Deacon—artist, brinner-lover, integration specialist, and full-time momma, part-time taxi, forever teacher of the Deacon Clan. This is my space to slow down and share the layered, salty beauty of everyday life: painting in soft blues, cooking with soul, and documenting the quiet chaos of coastal living.
What You’ll Find Here:

• notes & notions – Little reflections, big questions, and the books, ideas, and tangents I’m chasing lately

• brinner & beyond – Family dinners, seasonal rituals, and the magic of brinner nights.

• tea & tangents – Thoughts on running, rest, and what it means to feel grounded.
• where water meets paper – Watercolor stories, process peeks, and series inspired by salt air and stillness.

Thanks for stopping by my little stretch of shoreline on the internet. Whether you’re here for art, stories, recipes, or just a bit of calm—welcome to the sandbar.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
