Did you know it’s OK to make art just for YOU? What if I created a cool mixed media canvas for my home, just to use as a backdrop for the houseplants in my dining room? Yes! Permission granted to not make a masterpiece, but simply something artsy to beautify our homes. Come take a peek at the process!

I want to share an unfinished, and probably the weirdest, darkest page in my art journal yet. Are you up for something a bit grungy?

Not every art journal page or painting is going to start with a pretty background. Sometimes, all we can manage is a hot and ugly mess. But layer by layer, we can build something true and beautiful on top, just like this wild fairy waiting for new wings…

Butterfly and fairy art are simply my favorite things to create, and right now I’ve got lots in the making! But for a very long time, I had a big creative block holding me back…

I just finished my "word of the year page" in my art journal, and it’s all about COLOR! A single butterfly wing turned into a story of hope and possibility…

Flowers have this way of blooming in unexpected places and a crack in the pavement is enough for nature to take over. From paint left-overs to beautifully imperfect blooms, come discover the process of this colorful art journal page!

I recently released a very special online class called From Page to Canvas, where I share all the ways that our art journals can help us create beautiful paintings. And today I’m excited to welcome one of my beautiful students so she can share with you the journey from a stormy art journal spread to a beautiful (and award-winning!) moody painting…

Sometimes all you need to get inspiration flowing is an inspiring quote from a magazine. This one led me to create a page about the beauty of things past. Come take a look!

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 2024 and I’m excited to share it with you!

I’ve just finished creating my gratitude art journal page for this year! I do one every December, to honor and celebrate the gifts of the past twelve month. When art and mindfulness come together, it’s just so good for the soul. Enjoy!

Autumn is here and it is such an inspiring season. So today I thought I’d share a good dose of autumn-inspired inspiration with you, with plenty of art created by the students of my classes! I hope they will give you some ideas to get creating too.

Discover your creative wings! A colorful mixed media page in my art journal with a dreamy fairy… What if you embraced your creativity?

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!

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?

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!

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!

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 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.

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!

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.
