It feels very soothing to me, this idea that everything is going to be OK, that it’s all taken care of, that higher forces are protecting me, watching over me, keeping me safe when I feel vulnerable, small, tired… This is the message of this new little soul.

There is so much joy, hope and strength to be found in art, and in art-making. Finishing this new painting has given me renewed confidence, and I hope it with you will lift your spirits too!

Today I thought I'd share a simple and beautiful little practice that supports my creativity and helps me feel inspired day after day. You can even do it with kids, enjoy!

There are things growing within our souls right now. Even if it feels uncomfortable, I can feel that I am realigning with my truth. Just like a butterfly growing within its chrysalis, what if we trusted the cycles of life, with full faith that something magical and beautiful will emerge in the end?

There’s room for every mood and emotion in an art journal, and I love the play of light and dark in this new page I’m sharing today.

Did you know that you and I are actually made of stardust? What if this inner light could become our compass, our guiding star? What if we allowed it to take the lead, trusting that it will take us exactly where we most need to go, in life as in art?…

I just LOVE to learn. And especially learn new creative skills, whether on a canvas… or a computer! There are exciting new projects in the works right now, and here is a little peek at what’s going on behind the scenes!

I like to think of my art journal as a “secret garden” where I can play like a kid and where my soul can bloom… Come join me in this magical place and see this new page evolve.

Emotions rising & falling… just like the birds in the sky or the ebb and flow of water. An art journal is such a special, intimate space to express and honor emotions.

What started with a big blob of leftover purple paint ended up with an Amethyst-inspired fairy. My art journal never ceases to surprise me…

Following the breadcrumbs of inspiration and the serendipity of found poetry, today’s journal page is all about dreams, shadow and light.
