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...

Page after page, immerse yourself in Deborah's deeply layered Little Book of Whispers...

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!

Get inspired by Sandy as she shares a glimpse of her journey of discovery and creativity, into the light...

When you see art you love from another artist, you are receiving their light, and when others see your art, it’s YOUR light they need to see!

There is such beautiful energy in the classroom of "Into the Light", the free workshop I'm offering this week to celebrate one year of teaching! Every new painting or photo posted in the group feels like a gift and I'm delighted to share some on the blog today!

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.

Get inspired by Chris's stunning photographs and soulful words that capture and honor the wild beauty of the Ocean.

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.

Listen to the whispers... sneak peek of my new online class!

We've just re-opened registration for Layers of Light, now also available... in French! To celebrate, I'm delighted to dedicate this Light Seeker Spotlight to one of my french-speaking participants, a beautiful artist and sister: Sabyne Alain

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?

We just opened registration again for my online class Layers of Light! At this time of the year when we most feel the need for light in our lives, I am grateful and so delighted that we get to gather, create, and shine that much more brightly together. And delighted to share a glimpse of those creations today!

Last week was one of the most amazing of this whole year for me, as I presented my latest art show, "Anam Cara" (soul friend / soul guide in Irish). I'm delighted to share this experience with you and invite you INTO the show, thanks to the virtual tour we've created! Enjoy!

Today I'm delighted to share with you the second "Light Seeker student spotlight" from my online class Layers of Light! And even more delighted to introduce you to a fellow french artist: Sophie Kerdellant. Sophie shares a beautiful "poetic affirmation" that she wrote as part of the class, as well as a glimpse of her story as an artist, woman and mother committed to shining her true light in the world.

I'm excited to share with you the first of what will be a series of guest blog posts by some of the beautiful Light-Seekers taking part in my online class Layers of Light! Iris de Voogd is a textile artist from the Netherlands. She shares an authentic glimpse of her thoughts and emotions, her "growing pains", as she keeps striving for the light.

Today I'm celebrating the Beauty and Joy of teaching, and honoring the Light and Art of the students in my first online class, Layers of Light! I am in complete awe and so inspired by this creative journey that we share.

It's here! Registation for Layers of Light, my first online art class, has officially open last Monday and I couldn't be more thrilled and grateful. Check out the sweet video we've put together! If this is calling you, don't wait, seats are filling up fast...

Today has been an emotional roller coaster. I'm working on an online class that aims at bringing out more light into the world, when shadows and destruction have struck hard again. I guess it's no coincidence that the luminous guest post I am sharing tonight is all about grief, light and courage... I am deeply honored to welcome one of the most talented women I know: the beautiful Sarah Treanor.
