About HummingBy

For the woman who needs a gentle reminder — You are worthy of beauty, rest, and joy.

At HummingBy, we create more than art. We create moments—little pockets of peace in your day that remind you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your inner hum.

Founded by folk artist and “Soulwhisper” Laura Bailey, HummingBy is a sanctuary where creativity meets mindfulness. Through whimsical mixed media pieces, intentional self-care tools, and soulful courses, our mission is to offer you daily reminders of your light.

 

Our Mission

To craft meaningful art and tools that help women pause, reflect, and reconnect with their true essence. Whether it’s a mantra on your wall, a journal that holds your thoughts, or a gentle animal watching over you—our creations are designed to feel like a warm hug in your busy world.

Our Vision

We dream of homes filled with art that makes women pause and remember their own magic. We imagine a world where self-kindness comes first, where creativity is sacred, and where women are supported in creating lives rooted in presence, grace, and joy.

 

Meet Laura

I’ve been a creative soul for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Costa Rica, I spent my childhood making things by hand—knitting, sewing, and crafting with my mother. Our home sparkled with handmade decorations, foam deer with glittering antlers, and the love we poured into every detail. I learned early on that art is more than the final product—it’s a language of love, intention, and presence.

Years later, as a working mom raising a neurodiverse child, I found myself depleted—giving to everyone else while neglecting the woman I was becoming. It was in that space of burnout that I returned to art. I needed it to heal, to ground, and to remember who I really was.

That journey birthed HummingBy.

Why This Work Matters

HummingBy is my heart work. Every journal prompt, angel painting, and blooming flower is infused with the belief that women deserve spaces to feel whole. I don’t just make art—I make tools for transformation. Because we all need sacred moments to recharge, realign, and reclaim our joy.

My Style & Soul

My whimsical folk art features gentle angels, intuitive animals, and blooming botanicals—each symbol chosen with purpose. Folk art speaks to me because it celebrates imperfection, honesty, and soulful storytelling. I believe we all carry quiet wisdom within us—I just paint to help you hear it again.

Our Community

HummingBy is a creative refuge, a gathering place for women ready to honor their inner voice. I call myself a “Soulwhisper” because I believe we all have that quiet knowing inside. Here, you’ll find gentle reminders to listen, trust, and grow—with others walking a similar path.

My move to Snohomish, Washington, was a leap toward that vision—a slower life, surrounded by nature and authentic connection. And from this rooted place, I continue to create offerings that nourish the spirit and uplift everyday living.

This isn’t just art. It’s a doorway back to yourself.

Whether you’re here to find a meaningful gift, start a new ritual, or simply pause for a moment of beauty—you’re in the right place. I’m honored to walk this journey with you.

Welcome to HummingBy.
