A SECRET GARDEN
$20/month • Cancel anytime
Once it's gone,
it's gone.
A Secret Garden started as an original painting inspired by that quiet, magical feeling of finding somewhere that feels like it's yours alone.
For September, I'm creating one—and only one—print edition exclusively for members of The Painted Post.
It won't be added to my print shop later.
When September's mailing closes, A Secret Garden retires with it.

A powerful turquoise wave rises from the sea, captured in a moment of motion, energy, and grace. Aqua crush celebrates the beauty of nature's untamed spirit—the feeling of standing at the shoreline and watching the ocean gather its strength before crashing toward the horizon.

A little reminder you can carry with you every day: progress over perfection. 🌸
Featuring one of my original floral paintings, this notebook combines layers of pink, purple, white, and green florals with a simple affirmation at the center — Progress Over Perfection.
As an artist, this phrase means a lot to me. Creating has taught me that things don't have to be perfect to be meaningful, beautiful, or worth sharing. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is simply keep going, keep creating, and allow yourself to grow along the way.
Whether you're journaling, making lists, sketching out your next idea, writing down goals, or filling pages with completely random thoughts, I hope this notebook reminds you that you don't have to have everything figured out. You're allowed to learn as you go. ♡

Turn everyday thoughts into something a little more beautiful with the Beauty and the Dark notebook, featuring one of my original floral paintings.
This piece was created around one of my favorite contrasts — delicate, imperfect flowers emerging against a deep, moody background. The soft creams, muted blush tones, touches of gold, and expressive brushstrokes feel almost luminous against the darkness. It’s a reminder that beauty doesn’t always need a bright backdrop to exist. Sometimes it stands out the most in the dark.

Sometimes the whole plan is simply… just vibing. 🐸💚
The Just Vibing notebook features my original frog painting surrounded by rich greens, lily pads, water, and tiny pink flowers. I turned the artwork into a notebook cover and added the phrase “just vibing” because honestly, look at him. He has no deadlines. No emails. No unnecessary drama. He is simply existing amongst the lily pads, and I think we could all learn something from him. 😂
The layered greens and visible texture from the original acrylic painting make this notebook feel playful and artsy while still having that wonderfully imperfect, hand-painted quality of Alex Dacy Art.
Use it as a journal, planner, idea dump, sketchbook companion, to-do list, or a designated place for all the thoughts floating around in your head while you're attempting to just vibe.

Art Magnets
Customer Review
“I absolutely love my magnets. They are definitely beautiful and one of a kind! I’d love to get more.”
“Here is a pic of the beautiful painting I fell in love with as soon as I saw it. I am very happy to be a part of the great life you are successfully creating for Ari and yourself. Thank you”
— a original painting collector
A tiny piece of art made by two generations. 🤍
This little magnet is extra special to me because the artwork wasn’t created by just me — Ari and I made it together.
We spent time playing with oil pastels, scribbling, layering colors, making marks, and creating without worrying about what the finished piece was “supposed” to look like. Just a mom and her little girl making art together.
I loved our little creations so much that I knew I wanted to turn some of them into something you could actually keep.
The Made With Ari Magnet features one of our original collaborative drawings transformed into a glossy 2" porcelain magnet. Every colorful scribble and imperfect little mark is part of the original artwork — and part of the memory behind it.
Stick it on your fridge, locker, magnetic board, or anywhere that could use a tiny piece of happy.
I hope when you look at it, it reminds you that art doesn’t have to be perfect or serious. Sometimes the best things are made when you're simply having fun with someone you love. 🥹🎨

Care
Gently wipe away dust or dirt with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.
Because sometimes the tiniest scribbles become the sweetest little works of art.
