I think we’ve all been there—the moment when a painting stalls, leaving you with an unfinished canvas.

Letting emotions loose on paper

Don’t let the size of the space stop you.

Let’s create a little more joy in your world!

I would like to offer you an opportunity to create a big canvas, and get messy and wild … while learning new mixed media and portrait techniques! 

Would you like to master adding fabric, vintage finds, textured materials and sentimental goodies into your mixed media art?

I declared 2021 the year of the face! I was going to get good at creating faces even if it took all year.

A month’s worth of creative prompts to freshen up your creative practice.

Do you have a painting schedule?

Are you wishing that you had more time for creativity? Or time to do something that is just for you?

I believe that if you truly want to make art and creativity a part of your life and your self-care practice, you can find a space for it.

Somewhere I can across the term ‘invented portrait’ and I liked it and adopted it for my own use.

I listened to Nicholas Wilton’s latest podcast epidote : Your Brain on Art with Ivy Ross and Susan Magsamen (@art2life).

I tend to use a blank canvas or wood panel that I have plans to paint in the near future as my paint palette.

This was a painting of flowers in a vase a created several years ago in a Laly Mille workshop.

As artists, I think most of us live, and think, in an environmentally conscious way.

“Notice what you love in your work and what you love in other people’s work, and do more of that.”

Letting emotions loose on paper, allows them to show up as colours and hues is symbols.

Turquoise is a colour that almost always shows up in my art. I am instantly attracted to all things turquoise.
