A window into my soul
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.
Student spotlight - Linda Cardillo
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…
Timeworn beauty
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!
Word of the Year 2024
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!
Gratitude page
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-inspired student art
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.

Student gallery!
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!
Pages from my students
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!
An art journal story
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.

How to make an art journal
The best art journal should take wet media well and open completely flat from the first page to the last. Here is my favorite, super doable technique to make your own from a simple pad of watercolor paper!

A grateful heart
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.
Inviting autumn
Autumn is coming! Well, at least in my art journal it is. Summer will soon be coming to a close and I’m already delighting in the prospect of autumn days, with their golden light, rich colors and cosy layers…
