Blooms from the students!
Today I’m excited to share some gorgeous art by the students of my class Flower Flow! Watch the video and take a closer look at dozens of inspiring paintings!
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.
Art journaling setup & supplies
In this FREE VIDEO I’m sharing all about my favorite art journaling supplies and how to set up your space in a way that’s practical and inspiring. Come watch and enjoy!
How to make an art journal
The best art journal should take wet media well and open completely flat from the first page to the last. Here is my favorite, super doable technique to make your own from a simple pad of watercolor paper!
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!
Quick & easy inspiration board
I love making inspiration boards and here is my favorite, super quick and easy method to make yours in just a few minutes. Enjoy!
Setting up a sewing station
I’ve been wanting a functional sewing station for a while, and this week I finally set it up. Come take a peek at this new sweet spot in my art studio!
Letting go of your art
After my online art show last weekend, several of you have asked me how I could possibly let gor of some cherished paintings. Here is my answer, and it all comes down to my artist “why”.
Made with love
My online show is getting close and today I thought I'd share some of my favorite pieces with you! I even dug out some process pictures and videos so you can see some of them come to life. Enjoy!
The art of noticing
It's pretty much impossible not to feel inspired when you spend a bit of time in Nature. Even a few minutes are enough: looking at (and smelling) a flower, observing a busy bumblebee with curiosity... it's all about slowing down, noticing and rediscovering a sense of childlike wonder.
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…
Stich by stich
Allowing yourself to be a beginner again is so good for the soul. Textile art has always been a huge inspiration to me, and I’m finally taking the time to try my hand at stitching, deliciously sloooowly…
