Life can be full of ups and downs. At times like these, it feels so good to turn to my art journal, because love always finds a way to show up on the page, and bring light back in.

A new free video! Join me in the studio as I show you how to float-frame a painting on canvas. It's super easy!

A painting inspired by women artists from times past, and dedicated to today’s creative ladies! May you dare to bloom freely and unapologetically, into the artist you know you are.

What if we allowed ourselves to make an infinity of wild, beautiful and colorful wishes? What if we realized that there is no limit to what we can dream of, wish for, and hold within our hearts for the future? Each little flower in this painting carries even more seeds of possibility, reminding us that all the magic we will ever need is right there inside of us, ready to grow and bloom.

Let’s celebrate Art, Light & Love! It’s my birthday and I’m hosting a special celebration with a FREE class, a sale and a giveaway!

I’m so excited to announce a new collaborative project I’m participating in! I’ve been filming and editing videos all week, and it’s finally time to share it with you!

I have hardly ever thrown any art away in my life. I’m patient and a little stubborn, and above all I have full trust in the creative process, so I’d rather let them sit on a shelf for months or even years until they finally come alive, like the series I’m sharing today.

Roses are just starting to bloom in the garden. Did you know that pink is proven to be a deeply soothing color, associated with love and kindness? I thought I'd share some with you today!

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?

When she signed up for Soulful Abstracts, Andrea didn’t know she was beginning an extraordinary journey towards… 100 mini series! I am so honored and proud to share her art and story with you today. Let’s encourage her to reach her goal!

I’m sharing a new painting on my blog to day: Winter blooms emerging from under the snow remind us that beauty, life and grace always find their way back through the colder, darker days.

One of the questions I often get from my art journaling students is “How to prevent my art journal pages from sticking together?” There’s a very simple and easy little trick that I use and it works like magic! I’m sharing it today in a quick video so your beautiful pages never have to stick again.

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!

Today I’m delighted to share a flip-through video of my whole art journal! Grab your favorite cuppa, relax and join me in my studio!
