art journal resources
Year after year, my art journal has become a faithful companion, a delightful playground and an endless source of inspiration for the rest of my art. On this page you will find plenty of resources & inspiration for art journaling, including some flip-through videos, all about my favorite supplies, a tutorial to make your own journal, and plenty of blog posts about my pages. And of course, I would love to share more with you in my online classes!

my tip for pages that don't stick
One of the questions I often get from my students is how to prevent art journal pages from sticking together. Here is a very simple little trick that works like magic, so your beautiful pages will no longer stick!
NB: In the tutorial you’ll see me use Cold Wax Medium by Gamblin but furniture wax works just as well and many brands are available (Annie Sloan, Rustoleum etc.) My favorite is the Beeswax by Miss Murstard Seed: it’s a more natural alternative and it smells heavenly!
art journal travel kit
Year after year, art journaling has become a hugely important practice in my life. It’s really creative self-care, and it's time to get back to it! That’s why I’ve just prepared a little art journal travel kit to take with me on vacation, and I thought I’d share it with you. Enjoy the video below!
I hope you’ve enjoyed the resources on this page, and I would love to be your guide in one of my art journaling classes! My foundational class, The Artist & the Journal, is where I share absolutely everything I know about this beautiful practice. Then I also have plenty more shorter workshops to help you feel inspired and fill your journal with plenty of beautiful, meaningful pages. I hope to see you in the classroom soon!
