​Have you been wondering how art making and creativity can help you?

With everything going on you maybe finding yourself feeling a little restless and becoming aware of things you put on the back burner. You’ve tried all kinds of stuff to find a healthy outlet for your stress or work through your stuck feelings. Art making has been catching your eye again, but you struggle with the inner critic who tells you, “Art making is a waste of time. You’ve got better more important things to do. Where would you even start? Plus, you are no artist!” 
 
I’ve seen and experienced the transformational power of art making. It’s ability to contain big emotions and thoughts too difficult to utter in words. Art’s capacity to calm the mind and the body. The way it can express things words just never could. I have witnessed art’s ability to comfort, contain, inspire, unearth, and heal people who are feeling stuck. I have seen what happens when people create and make art like a kid again; finding joy and lightness they forgot existed. 
 
This is what I hope to bring to others who have always felt a pull towards creating, crafting, and making but have lost touch with their creative side. I want to show others the power of expressive art and creativity. How it can help transform us from the inside out and help us lead balanced, creative, and inspired lives. Sometimes we just need a little guidance and to learn how to tune out the inner critic. 
 
So, I am here to show you how incorporating art making and creativity into your daily life can bring a little more play, clarity, and balance to your world. I am here to guide you through the process and help you reconnect with your inner creative. 
 
I’m looking forward to sharing resources, information about the benefits of art making, and sharing stories from others who have found how adding a little creative practice into their daily lives has changed their mindset and brought fresh opportunities. It’s time to show that inner critic that art making is not a waste of time but an amazing investment in your health and wellness. 
 
Be safe and be well.
