There be dragons here…

Whimsical watercolors & knitties abound

MomaLino (Jen Gallagher’s art collective- I am Jen!) is the home of all things whimsical and playful, knitted and watercolored. I express my joy in this medium of watercolor through the painting of fantastical creatures in every day life along with my favorite, dancing cats.

I am also a knitter of small, cozy little critters which I often stop motion animate them once done. These days, I love creating original knitting patterns and sharing them with fellow knitters!

Every day, I do my best to balance my professional work, landscape architecture and owning a dance studio, along with raising my daughter, and cats, while fostering my love of knitting and watercoloring.

I hope these creations inspire you to unleash your inner child every day!

Art is everywhere


Hi there! Jen here, and I am so happy you found us here at MomaLino, home of whimsical and wacky watercolors & knitties.

In my watercolored world, imagination takes flight and everyday moments sparkle with whimsy. As an artist, my mission is to bridge the gap between the mundane and the magical, inviting both children and adults to rediscover the vibrant hues of life through playful, fantastical characters.

I believe in the power of art to transcend age and perspective. For children, my paintings offer a window into a world where dreams and reality intertwine, encouraging creativity and wonder. For adults, they provide a gentle reminder to embrace the playful spirit within and view life through a lens of optimism and delight.

It takes a village…

I think of MomaLino (my watercolor & Knitty home) like a whimsical foster care… knitties are created, shy, a little scared and not house-broken. We help them learn to live with us, laugh with us and love! lol

Froggies like to play!

So do I! Never underestimate the element of play in every day life for kids and adults. Play is serious work and we should not skimp on it! In MomaLino land, we take this work very seriously…
