Meet Mickey

I’m Mickey! a beautician turned watercolor painter.

For years, my work was about helping others feel like themselves. Watercolor became a way to do the same for me. What started as a quiet practice to slow down, find peace, and work with my hands again gradually became something I wanted to share.

Reale Watercolors grew from that place… a desire to create work that feels honest, tactile, and lived-in.

Each piece begins as an original watercolor, painted slowly and without urgency. The work is then translated onto paper and cloth, preserving the texture, imperfections, and softness that make watercolor what it is.

This isn’t about trends or perfection.

It’s about process, restraint, and finding beauty in everyday moments.

I hope you enjoy these pieces as much as I do creating them.

Thank you for being here.
