Bundles of inspiration
Today I’m sharing one of my favorite creative practices: the art of making “bundles of inspiration” to use in my art journal! It is such a fun and relaxing process, and it’s always magical to see a whole page emerge from just a few paper scraps.
From dark to light
When the world feels dark, my art journal is a safe space to express thoughts and emotions, and find my way back towards the light…
Using acrylics mindfully
Let’s face it, acrylics are not the most eco-friendly kind of paint, even though they’re completely amazing for mixed media! But we can make small changes and mindful choices to use them in a more sustainable way. Here are my best 5 tips!
All I have to bring
This latest page in my art journal took me through quite an emotional journey, helping me process these crazy times, and reminding me that there's only so much we can bring into the world: our gifts, and our heart.
Your art matters
There is power in creativity, because the more love, joy, beauty and peace we create, on the canvas and in our lives, the more positive energy we bring into the world. So today I want to remind you of this one thing: you are an artist, and your art matters.

Stories & memories
Image transfers and vintage photos are a match made in heaven! Especially when they come together to tell a beautiful story.
Creative starting points
Do you know the fear of the blank page, or the blank canvas? That’s where creative starting points come into play!
Creative self-care
Being fully in the present moment, and taking nurturing time for yourself, this is really one of the best and most important parts of art journaling. It truly is creative self-care. But it’s not always easy…

Daily simple things
With plenty of collage and colorful layers, this uplifting page is all about noticing the simple joys in your life and letting gratitude fill your heart!
Unfurl your wings
Not everything you create has to be “finished” straight away. Years ago in my first online class, Layers of Light, I created a series of “two-minute minis” as a quick warm-up exercise. I loved those little collages and just kept them in the studio, in their unfinished state, until I recently got the impulse to turn them into something more…
The soul of an art studio
An art studio is so much more than a working space with art supplies and creative storage. It has a soul, a mood, a unique vibe made of the hopes and dreams of the artist, infused with the magic of the art that comes to life between its walls…

A poetic touch
I love the serendipity of "found" poetry, just grabbing a book page or a magazine and letting words come together in unexpected ways, then weaving them into my art. Let’s play with words and invite inspiration!
