ABOUT JULIET

Hi blog friends! I’m Juliet Parrott-Merrell – Temecula California  resident, Portland, Oregon native and cute cartoon artist. These days, due to chronic health issues that need a fair amount of TLC, I spend most of my time sitting at our kitchen table taking it easy – enjoying warm creamy cups of coffee, eating snacks and going back and forth between drawing Cute Snail and other whimsical art, coloring, playing solitaire and other brain games and watching YouTube videos or TV. 

My favorite shows to Watch nowadays are Laramie, Wagon Train, The Virginian and other classic westerns. I also enjoy Linus The Lionhearted and many classic cartoons, the original Quantum leap and many other television treasures. 

My husband Paul and I are also avid baseball fans. The San Diego Padres are our home team, but we also enjoy the LA Dodgers and many other teams. 

When my health and power wheelchair are up to it, and accessibility allows. I enjoy exploring the outdoors. Most of my exploration these days is relegated to strolls around our neighborhood. But when I can I enjoy going to city parks and other neat community spaces. If you’d like to see the pictures I’ve taken, you can visit my Instagram here.

For those of you who would be interested, I was born with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and use a power wheelchair because of it. I also only see partially out of one eye. My other eye was removed a few years ago due to complications from an eye stroke and glaucoma. I also love cats, rainbows, flowers, sunshine, coffee, sweet whimsical pictures and funny and sarcastic memes.

ALSO, gifting people my art and other creations, as well as bringing them brightness and good cheer, is my love language. Like my aunt Jo often says about her quilting, “If you got a quilt from me, you know i think you’re special.” I feel the same way about the art I create.

ABOUT CUTE SNAIL

Cute Snail came to me on a whim one day – after I’d seen a group of Snails sweetly enjoying some popcorn on The Snail Hospital instagram feed. She was the answer to a prayer  I’d recently put in about simplifying my drawing, workload and creative process such that it all felt easier, more fun and less overwhelming.  

“Dear God, could you please send me something that feels easy and fun to draw, charming, versatile and relatable such that it will help streamline my drawing, workload, inspiration, motivation and creative process?” 

It took a few months, but eventually my prayer was answered. Cute Snail and I started out committed to making at least 12 drawings that would culminate into a calendar at the end of 2025. In between drawings we created postcards, stickers and other stationery for everyone to enjoy. 

But then, the platform we were using to make and showcase all our SNAIL-TASTIC creations suddenly took an unforeseen business direction that we didn’t feel comfortable being a part of. So we moved our party over to Payhip and have been working over there ever since. 

The personalized postcards, stickers and calendars we created are still available for sale over on Zazzle Dot Com however.
