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.

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…

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!

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!

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 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.

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…

Backstage pics! A few days ago we did a super fun and dreamy photo shoot in my garden. We went all in with a whimsical Secret Garden / Alice in Wonderland feel and I can hardly wait to see the pictures. Until then, enjoy a look behind the scenes!

An art journal is a wonderful playground to experiment with new colors and ideas. It’s a great way to expand your creative comfort zone! Here is a new page where I’ve been playing with deep, dark blue.

Discover your creative wings! A colorful mixed media page in my art journal with a dreamy fairy… What if you embraced your creativity?

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!

On this mixed media art journal page, a fairy stands before the horizon, her soul full of wishes and dreams. What awaits her on the other side? Where will this journey take her?

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!

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!

Come find out all about the filming setup I use for my online workshops, with links to all the gear! It’s lightweight and practical so I can focus on what matters most: the art and my students. I hope you will find this useful!

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.

In this FREE VIDEO I’m sharing all about my favorite art journaling supplies and how to set up your space in a way that’s practical and inspiring. Come watch and enjoy!

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!
