Wings of hope
On this mixed media art journal page, a fairy stands before the horizon, her soul full of wishes and dreams. What awaits her on the other side? Where will this journey take her?
Student gallery!
I’m so excited to share a HUGE gallery of student art from last week’s Art Journal Dreams online retreat! I love that some stayed close to the original lesson, while others tweaked it, or went into a completely new direction. These are actually three great ways to learn!
Pages from my students
I love to see my students create their own unique art from the classes I teach, especially with something as personal as art journaling. Come see their pages and feel inspired!
My filming setup
Come find out all about the filming setup I use for my online workshops, with links to all the gear! It’s lightweight and practical so I can focus on what matters most: the art and my students. I hope you will find this useful!
An art journal story
An art journal is so much more than just just a journal. It’s a magical storybook! And its stories don’t have to be complicated or planned at all. They live in your heart and soul already, and are just waiting for an opportunity to be expressed, just like on this journal page.
New year, new page, new word
I love to welcome each New Year with a special word, a positive intention that will support me in the coming months. And every year I create a page for it in my art journal! I just finished my page for 2023, come read about this beautiful process and take a peek at this year’s page!
A grateful heart
I've just been creating my gratitude page for 2022! I do one every December and they always end up being some of my favorite pages, which I love to come back to again and again.
Framing with wood panels
How do you take a small artwork to the next level? With a chunky frame! Here is a full, easy-peasy video tutorial. Enjoy!
A natural story
More Naturalist Collages! Here is a larger, botanical piece and another pair of butterflies. They all combine three of my favorite things: nature, collage and a vintage vibe!
Naturalist collage
The camera's rolling! I'm filming one of my lessons for Life Book 2023 and it combines two of my favorite things: nature and collage. This mini butterfly series is a warm-up activity, then there will be a larger botanical project!
Inviting autumn
Autumn is coming! Well, at least in my art journal it is. Summer will soon be coming to a close and I’m already delighting in the prospect of autumn days, with their golden light, rich colors and cosy layers…
Botanical blooms
When watercolour meets floral doodles and vintage botanicals, a whimsical bouquet comes to life in my journal!
Student magic!
The Artist Soul retreat is now over and I am blown away by the incredible art that participants have created! Here is a tiny sample from the hundreds and hundreds of artworks they have shared. Come and feel inspired!
Create an inspiration wall
I was standing in the studio this morning when I got this sudden, but familiar familiar impulse to change things around and… update my inspiration wall! Join me and learn some of my favorite tips to make your own.
Hiding places
A new page and a new class! What if we filled our art journal with little hiding places: flaps and pockets to hold our dreams, our stories and the secrets of our hearts? What if we gave ourselves the freedom to play, have fun and get messy, while expressing our emotions in the safe space of our journal?
Student blooms!
Today I’m excited to share some gorgeous art by the students of my class Flower Flow! Watch the video , take a closer look at the photos and even take a peek inside some inspiring creative spaces!
Your art matters
There is power in creativity, because the more love, joy, beauty and peace we create, on the canvas and in our lives, the more positive energy we bring into the world. So today I want to remind you of this one thing: you are an artist, and your art matters.
Faded floral studies
The first blooms of Spring are showing up in the garden and they put me in a floral mood! Let’s get playful and explore color with some mini floral studies, using a magazine page as inspiration…
New Beginnings
Let’s welcome 2022 with gratitude, hopes and wishes, and a Word of The Year! Oh, and a FREE WORKSHOP too!
Daily simple things
With plenty of collage and colorful layers, this uplifting page is all about noticing the simple joys in your life and letting gratitude fill your heart!
