Light & shadow
Maybe that's because the solstice is approaching, but I'm more than ever fascinated by the play of Light and Shadow these days. And texture. And color... So here's a peek at what I'm up to lately: new, big abstract paintings, a solo show, encaustic wax and Layers of Light⦠Read on!
Whispers & touch
Making art is a physical experience: my hands and my whole body are as involved as my soul. It's a dance between this physicality and the deeply spiritual side of the process. Whispers and touch... There's something so intimate about this.
Around here lately
So many exciting things going on at the moment! New art, new classes, a treehouse and some top secret projects⦠the studio is buzzing with abstracts, fibers, flowers, art journals and more⦠Come on in!
A sacred dance
Creating with intuition sometimes feels like catching butterflies: the more you chase it, the more it eludes you⦠But the moment you let go, it starts dancing and fluttering, and before you know it, it gently lands on your hand, dazzling you with wonderā¦
She found her wings
What does the creative process feel like to you? To me, it feels like turning inward and letting light shine from within. Closing my eyes and feeling my wings...
Handmade journal
Making my own art journal is really what got me started with the practice. Find out more and create yours with this free video tutorial!
Abstract roses
Oh it's really starting to feel like spring! How about celebrating with a gorgeous floral abstract painting?This project is featured in the latest issue of Cloth Paper Scissors magazine and I even have a lovely timelapse video for you. Enjoy!
Where the heart is
My first art journal page of 2018 is all about welcoming and exploring my "word of the year". Join me as I share the whole process on video!
With gratitude
I feel so incredibly grateful for all the growth, the beauty and the gifts that 2017 has brought into my life, and I thought that one of the best ways to express it, was to give back something special and beautiful...
Hope & love
Working intuitively with collage, journaling and cut-out words, little messages of hope and love kept showing up on the page and my art journal really became a true friend.
First page
Today I'm going back in time as I share my very first art journal page from a year ago, and how I began my art journaling practice at a time when resistance was strong. Revisiting it brings out new stories and thoughts about these first steps...
My Book of days
I'm a lover of books, and a year ago I started my first art journal, my "Book of Days"... I'm opening it for you today!
Your light, your art
When you see art you love from another artist, you are receiving their light, and when others see your art, itās YOUR light they need to see!
In the mood for art
In the studio: Sometimes I really feel the urge to create something moody, something that feels like a stormy sky, where light and shadow dance together, where the rain washes away the layers of doubt and fear, leaving me renewed and just little bit raw. Just a little bit more me.
Behind the pages
Today I'm sharing the story behind the creation of my new class Little Book of Whispers... It is a journey, a quiet one, a gentle one, born in little pockets of time amidst the roars of the world. A little bubble of stillness to reconnect with the not-so-loud part of ourselves and create beauty from this sacred and fragile inner place.
Let light back in
Today is the shortest of the year, tonight will be the longest night, and tomorrow, light will come back, and will start growing again, a little bit more every day. What if you took this time to pause, remember, hope and celebrate? What if you made time to create art that honors your journey? What if you opened your heart to welcome light back in?
Braver than you think
Daring to make art takes guts. It's a brave and vulnerable place, but we're in it together. I bet you're braver than you think!
Imagine
Oh how good it feels to be painting big again! This new work, titled "Imagine", has been such a beautiful, joyful, relaxing journey... In fact I've enjoyed it so much that I have started a whole new grid-based series. And so today I want to talk a little bit about the creative process, and the sweet dance between intuition and... structure!
Shaking things up
Vision questing, shifting my perspective and gaining clarity. The year has begun with unexpectedly powerful insights, renewed awareness, more alignment and more self-love. It's a bit of a vulnerable place, but it's all good...
Encaustic-inspired layers
Enjoy the unfolding of a series of small mixed media works, working intuitively in layers with an encaustic-inspired twist... With a step-by-step video
