Hello! My name is Mara Elise (M.E). I'm an artist blending painting and drawing with vlogging. I talk about my life and inspiration each week because I'm still figuring this all out.
I want to open up the art community to those who love vlogs, books, bones, plants, and anything else to show that art is NOT some type of wizard magic. It's just taking time to do something you enjoy.

FAQ's
♦ When do you upload? ♦
EVERY SATURDAY unless I need a health day, mental health is important..
♦ What mediums/materials do you use? ♦
Usually I use watercolor or gouache but I like to try new things all the time.
There is almost always a materials list in my video descriptions.
♦ Why are there old vlogs that start with HeyMom? ♦
I started this UA-cam channel when I moved out, to show my mom what I was up to, naming it HeyMom. Now it's not just for her but for you and all my art.

Tripping On An Island ♦ SHROOM ♦ Gouache Speedpaint

I made it to the San Juans, but almost immediately fell on my face upon arrival... Saved the camera at least. Feeling odd this trip, not sure if it's good or bad just yet. But I've only injured myself twice so far! First my knee, and then, as of about 5 minutes before uploading, I also twisted my thumb pretty bad in some cable. Can still play ukulele though so we're good. Love you SOCIAL STUFF ...

Fantastic Females - International Women's Day
I went on that tour a month ago or so! It was pretty cool (and it helped that we had a really funny tour guide). I really liked learning about the history (and weirdly enough one of my favorite parts was learning about "seamstresses")! Really good art btw!
i love black and white art and witches so this pleases me
finally watched this, yall are so cute
This was so much fun! I can’t wait to start school and have you as my human canvas for projects 😏
Love it!! Kaylee is really good and such a great concept to bring your art to life! I'm sure the great pumpkin is most pleased. Happy Halloween!
Ahhhhhh this looked awesome!!!
All so beautiful :) more, please! A challenge for missing the weekly vid upload? Heck yeah! Play a one-song ukulele concert in public. 😊
The contrast of your hair and the greenery is so freaking beautiful 😍 also, again I loved the soft ukulele in the background. I’m so glad you went on this trip! ❤️
Kekeke a challenge you say. I'm glad your trip went well it was awesome to see what you experienced and it looked so relaxing. :)
I miss you!!!! Also that ukulele playing in the background was SO PLEASANT 😍
Very Awesome Vlog! :)
Say hi to a deer for me!
Ahhh this looks so relaxing and like so much fun!!! I miss you, and I hope you’re having fun. ❤️
You’re in the San Juans! I just got back from the west cost of Vancouver island! A friend has a 42ft Grand Banks, (so power boat instead of sail boat) but still a similar island experience. Calm silent mornings at anchor, and island deer that do not give a shit about people. We went to the San Juan islands two years ago and I’d love to go back. After watching this I wish I’d made more time for myself. we had bad weather early on, so spent lots of time on the boat, and I never did any significant solo exploring. I think I would’ve liked it. You’ll have to explain more about how you’re feeling odd. I find all the isolation and quiet time kinda weird-making too. I spent the first few days of my trip kinda down and depressed before eventually pulling out of it.
xD What happened to the one with dots instead of stripes of crust!? Tasty looking pies, and I’m catching up on videos because I was on two different trips for most of September so far. So more comments to come.
Super cool! And it really doesn’t seem weird to me, people are into all kinds of stuff, that’s what makes them interesting! :) Also, thanks for explaining why you like bones. Back in school I had a few friends into relatively creepy or weird things, but I don’t think I ever asked why, and they never said. And nice succulents, I have quite a few of those, though no bones.
Hey sailor! Wishing you perfect winds and relaxing times :)
The pies and painting turned out so good Mara! You've grown a lot from when you started the channel. :) also gopros are pretty nifty to use so it's worth looking into.
I know, it's crazy! The GoPro I used was pretty fun but I'm gonna work with it a little longer to see if it's really something I like.
You’re not even the same Mara that started this channel! You’re constantly growing and evolving. Your journey is one of my favorite journeys to watch and to see you BLOSSOM. Ok I’m sorry. Love you!
Haha, glad my journey is enjoyable? Puns ALWAYS appreciated, nicely done.
Love the painting this week, the green and the blue dress seem to anchor the wispy hair and tiny blossoms. I really like it. How did the pies taste? They look yum!
Pies were actually amazing! Perfect crust, which shocked me a little.
you're not weird other people are weird for not liking bones
Serious question: can I buy some of your paintings?? My walls are boring and could use some color
Of course!! I'm always down for commissions. Depends on how big and how detailed you want them for price. DM me on Instagram (hey.peas) or shoot me an email! 👌
Bones are always awesome! My fav of the spine is the atlas actually. Cause it holds the head or our "world". 🙃
Plus until I went back for a sec the f chipmunk reminded me of murry. If only it was a squirrel instead lol. Glad your doing well and the piece ended up amazing. I super love how the heron turned out.
Oh my god I see it! They had a whole collection there, all different animals, all flipping the bird. It was amazing.
Ps, I like to watch the curiosity shop vid, but I would get creeped out if i went. Thanks for sharing it.
I thought about warning you but I figured the title would be enough, haha
Love the detail in your piece! Two q's - are you free-styling at the beginning in purple, or do you have tape on the paper? It's kinda amazing watching you paint that. Did you say blue heron? Cool!
I already had tape down, I'm not THAT precise. Blue heron on the shoulder of a heroine, I'm not sure if that counts as a pun...
@@heymaraa3962 I didn't see the heron's head the first time, of course I see it now!
I love how you normalize something considered ‘spooky’ like bones/skeletons. In my opinion, death and after death should be talked about conversationally. Makes it seem less daunting and overwhelming. 🖤
Right?? Especially since it's such a normal part of life. Everybody thinks about it, why not bring it out into the open and get curious?
I had like 1 big room makeover for like every milestone (elementary to middle school, middle school to high school, ect). Constantly organizing my life in different ways, not only in my room but in bags and on my phone or laptop hahaha. Those chairs look hella comfortable!
I like the idea of outgrowing a room, looking around one day like, "Hmm, I should put my 1st grade posters away." Also I'm hecka impressed by technological organization. My desktops my sense to me and not many else.
girl your videos are honestly so calming to watch
Thank you, always glad to help. Deep breathes. 🍃🌿
I love the yellow chaise and deep blue walls ... I'm sure your little firefighter fairy is relaxing in there somewhere!
Somewhere deep in a plant or on a shelf? Of course. Also, color theory is magic.
such a flattering shot of me on the bed. wow such a lady. hahaha
You KNOW how beautiful you are. My mom even called to tell me how much she laughed at that. 👌
FWIW, I would’ve been interested in what you found in the owl pellets and what you learned! Hank had a good quote about this the other day on Hankschannel, that making niche content means fewer people find it interesting, but they find it *more* interesting. (As usual, I can’t remember exactly how he put it.) You spoke too soon about the air quality though, today was crazy! Hopefully it clears up soon.
You really wanted to know?! I love weird, gross & creepy things but I always assume it'll be too much for most people (especially the internet). But I know the video you're talking about and you've inspired me! Next video I film will be about some of my stranger passions. THANK YOU!!
So fluffin cute omg. One good thing to come from all this smoke.
So Fun!!! The cupcakes looked amazingly tasty! :) Cool painting of the straight razor too :)
Ouuuuuch my heart <3 I love you Mara you’re such a good friend.
Beautiful park shots, nice :) liked that you started one art piece then switched to another ... irony or unplanned parallel? ... works either way. Very nice art.
Irony maybe? Also... Mom?
"Heyyyyyy" at the end 😂😂
I couldn't leave it out. ✌
If you are actively shooting for feeling better, just take baby steps. When you catch yourself thinking something that doesn't feel good, change it up a bit. Find a new way to look at it that feels slightly better. And then when you're up for it, take another whack at it and find another slightly better feeling thought.... eventually you feel better, AND you automatically become more alligned with your true self (or higher self, or inner self, or soul, or whatever you want to call it), and creating/painting will flow!! Example: "This mountain of laundry is rediculous! I'm such a slob", for me, at the core of it, usually translates to a sense of "I am worthless." That's a hard one to tackle, because its so deeply rooted in most of us. So first, we start with the thought... "I am worthless" So what's a perspective I can have about myself thats slightly better feeling than that? Because if we try to jump back to joyful and confident, it just feels like we are lying to ourselves, and sometimes even makes it worse. So slightly better feeling thought... "I dont ALWAYS leave my space messy. I clean it up and keep it organized SOMETIMES." See how that (affirmation) would be a lot easier to accept in that emotional place, than something like "I am amazing!!" "I completely accept myself in every way!!" Those are just too far up the emotional scale from where we are in those moments. But if we can slow the momentum of the negative thoughts with slightly better feeling thoughts, we eventually bring that momentum to a hauly, and from there can begin really climbing up the positive end of the spectrum. Life comes in waves. Yes. Everything is vibration. Yes. We will always have ups and downs. Yes. I just think it's a lot more fun and we can learn a lot more, when we consciously, actively participate in the rise and fall of our life by examining and being present with our own thoughts and feelings, and choosing to guide those thoughts and feelings towards our preferred states of BEing. Phew!! Sorry if you didn't want this word vomit of mine. It's a bit long. And if it helped... yay!! I think...?!? Lol It definitely helped me to be able to share it!! Lovin you sister!! We got this!!
First off, sweet painting! And video! And story and dream!! Thank you for sharing! And Im thanking you on multiple levels and here's why: Coming from the perspective that we are all reflections of eachother, your dream really excited me!! Im currently returning to a part of my life that, in a lot of ways, I felt like I had lost (my backpack) and I'm really excited to, having now experienced your creation, see all my old things and the new things that have just magically shown up as part of the whole deal (my old skills and experiences becoming new skills and experiences and little unexpected bonuses) Thanks again!!
I'm just happy my video/dream made you see things a little differently. It certainly changed *my* perspective on my life. Excited for the day my current skills, experiences, and art will come back around in the future.
They're on their way back right now!! Ur awesome!!
Super fun art vlog!!! Very engaging!!! Thanks for sharing 😊
Glad you liked it! I was a little worried it was slow because dreams can be pretty boring to hear about.
u so pretty, u need a boyfriend, as a partner, I'm available just so u know... hah ^_^/
Sending lots of love and good vibes your way! <3
Thanks Katelyn, I'm needin' all the good vibes I can get right now.
Hope you feel better soon ❤️ I’ve taken a week off this week too for the same reasons. It will get better ❤️
We're in this together, Kirrane Family. Life is rough but you're right, it gets better... eventually. Sending hugs!
Sorry you are feeling so stressed. Hope you feel better soon! ::hugs::
Me too, seriously. Been too stressed lately and I hate it, *but* it's gotta happen. I always appreciate a hug though (virtual or otherwise) 😊
Feel better. Always cheering for you!
Thank you! Just needed a little break to find a direction.
I like him! How cool are the little tile skylights 😍
Right?! I loved seeing the tiles that had been taken out as one piece and put underground too.
This was lovely. I really like the whole combo art+vlog thing you've got going on. I've never seen anything like it before.
Me neither! It's why I'm doing it! Usually they're a little more thought out than this one but oh well.
I had a real weird sidestep at 1:33. I really liked this piece despite it being a little rushed
Thats why I included that particular step, it's what you do. Glad you like it!
The dapper rat looks amazing! I love the mini tour of Seattle’s underground you gave us!
Thank you! A very mini tour, there were a lot of cool nooks and crannies I didn't have time to show.
Nice video! 🙂👍
Thanks! I like your video style by the way!
So happy you're feeling more confident about it all <3
If not more confident at least a bit more grounded.
