Pages from my students
Inspiring pages
from my students
Hello sweet creative!
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 beautiful pages and let yourself feel inspired!
Watch the short video above then scroll down to see plenty more art galleries, at your own pace. Enjoy!
I couldn’t possibly include all your beautiful pages, but please know they were all deeply appreciated. To respect the privacy of this intimate process, I haven’t listed your full names. You know who you are! And I’m so proud of all of you.
There are just a few days left to join The Artist & the Journal, where I share everything I know about about the beautiful, soul-nurturing practice of art journaling! If you’ve ever wondered how to deal with the blank page, find ideas and get started, what materials to use, how to find your own style and stories, what to journal about, how to deal with creative blocks, how to bring your pages to completion and fill the whole book… then this might be the perfect next step for you:
“Your classes have given me inspiration and techniques to start telling a story and enjoy the process. Now I feel more relaxed and “in the moment” when creating. With every new layer of collage, words and paint the “story” evolves and you know that nothing is ruined if you change your mind about something. Just put down another layer and go on playing and let your mind rest and heart sing.”
“I have so enjoyed your classes and have so much more to learn from you. I look forward to watching all your videos and playing with my art supplies. I am always inspired by you and your classes. You bring out the color in me! ”
“One of the biggest things I have got from your art journaling class was that it was a process - both in terms of building the layers but more so for myself in terms of trying to remove expectation and being open to what emerged on the page - lessons not just for the art journal but for life.
I was very new to art journaling, and to painting/mixed media in general. In addition to all your technical knowledge and insights, your classes gave me the courage and confidence to just sit with the process, to experiment, to layer and remove - again, not just lessons for art, but lessons for life! I would recommend your classes for anyone who is feeling the desire to live their lives more creatively.”
“Art journaling lets me explore and play and increases my confidence in my artistic ability. It opens my heart up to the possibilities of what I can create and has been a wonderful journey!”
“Laly is a wonderful art teacher. One of the things I love most is how inspirational her lessons are. Once I begin to watch any of her lessons, I get excited to start my own work. The journaling classes are especially fulfilling… It’s amazing to see what the artwork pulls from my subconscious mind! If you want to learn new techniques, explore exciting possibilities, and have tons of fun, I highly recommend Laly’s classes. ”
“I took my first mixed media steps with you and, throughout those ‘ugly’ and doubtful interim layers, you reassured me that having faith in the process would produce work I could be proud of. Those words came true.
I’ve never taken formal art classes in school but your ability to explain the reasoning behind each addition to a blank page/canvas has truly inspired and enabled me to believe in myself as an artist.”
“Art journaling for me is my quiet space, my sanity, and my refreshing activity that keeps me energized for my kids throughout the day. ”
“Laly, your classes are like joyful little adventures! On this art journey with you through your classes I feel like I keep learning about myself as I grow in my art. The way you teach really touches people. ”
I would love for you to join me in the classroom, and you can do so right now by joining this week’s FREE online art journaling retreat! It’s open until the end of the weekend. Then of course I would love for you to continue this journey in my art journaling classes. Let’s keep creating!
Art journaling is a personal and intimate process, and it takes courage to share a page with others. So please leave a word of encouragement below for the brave souls who have shared their art here! Thank you!
