After weeks away from my art journal, I found my way back with a simple, soulful practice: creating small bundles of collage scraps. In this post—and in my free “Art Journal Layers” lesson—I share how this intuitive technique can spark inspiration and help you begin your next page with ease.

Your creative space holds more than supplies—it holds your energy and dreams. In this post, I share how decluttering can clear emotional weight, spark inspiration, and help you create a space that feels safe, beautiful, and ready for your next artistic chapter.

Feeling stuck in front of a blank page? You’re not alone. In this post, I share simple mixed media prompts—from scribbles to spontaneous collage—that can help you overcome creative block. Learn how imperfect beginnings can spark joy, momentum, and a deeper connection to your art.

I’m thrilled to be featured in the very first issue of Made in Her Studio magazine. This article shares my journey from burnout to rediscovering my artistic voice, along with simple collage tips and a mixed media layering technique you can try. A gentle reminder to trust your creative path.

Letting go of a beloved painting is never easy, but it can be a beautiful act of generosity. In this heartfelt reflection, I share the stories behind some of my most meaningful works, and how releasing them opened space for new inspiration, new connections, and a deeper purpose in my art.

Sharing your light creatively is one of the most beautiful, powerful ways that you can tip the scales, and bring much-needed healing and good vibes into your life, the lives of those you love, your community, and the world at large.

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…

Let's paint! Join me in the studio and let's expand our color palette (and our comfort zone) with a fun abstract mixed media series!

When I feel a little “blue”, there’s no better place to turn to than my art journal: mixed media collage, color, journaling and found poetry come together to express emotions and allow a magical story to emerge… Come discover the making of this mixed media art journal page step by step, layer by layer!

I always leave my art journal on my table, open at a page in progress. As the days go by, the layers build up, inspired by whatever I’m thinking and feeling in the moment, a creative outlet to process life with all its ups and downs, a sacred space to reconnect to my soul.

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!

Sometimes a painting needs a new life… and a whole makeover! A few months ago I decided to tackle an abstract canvas that just didn’t feel really “me”. It took a while and it now has a completely new look and a new story…

I love to take an art journal with me on vacation. In this short video, I’m showing you how to prepare a small travel kit packed with supplies and inspiration!

It's been a while since I created a large painting, and I'm thrilled to share the process of new floral piece! All through its making I've been going back and forth between the garden and the studio, soaking in beauty and inspiration, then bringing it back to the canvas, again and again…

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!

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!
