HI! I’M BRITTANY DESANTIS

The author, artist and instructor behind Peak Paper Co. After making a big cross-country move, I fell in love with the mountains and back in love with art.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a paintbrush and pen in hand—whether writing poems, painting gifts, or memory-keeping in my journals, creativity has always been my compass.

I’ve now taught calligraphy, journaling, and watercolor to over 50,000 students around the world, and received a National Indie Excellence Award for my debut publication, Forget You Not: A Guided Grief & Keepsake Journal, written in memory of my dad.

Originally inspired by the Canadian Rockies of Alberta (the “peak” behind Peak Paper Co.), I now live along the southern shores of Georgian Bay in Ontario, creating from my cozy riverside studio while raising two daughters.

You can join me at an in-person workshop in Ontario, on an international art retreat or watch my online writing workshops in partnership with Montblanc—the makers of the world’s finest writing instruments. You can also shop giftable beginners art kits and classes here, and stay tuned for custom commission releases.
