No matter if you're a paint-splattering Picasso, a culinary wizard, a jewel-crafting genius or a simple hobbyist, you, my friend, are an artist! Today, I want to remind you of that, because it is so very important.

It’s no secret the world loves art. People spend millions of dollars to own an artist’s original and countless others flock to museums just for a glance at masterpieces. But why is buying art important? What is this fascination?

Little bundles of paper scraps can be the perfect starting point for a creative journey and a beautiful piece of art. Whenever you’re stuck, feeling uninspired or simply can’t seem to get started they’re the perfect little creative spark and making them is so relaxing and fun.

In the whirlwind of daily chaos, we sometimes forget how precious we are and neglect ourselves. It's important to remember that we are valuable and deserving of love and care. Taking time for yourself isn’t selfish, its essential for your health and happiness.

Today I’m excited to share the latest page in my art journal! One of my favorite things about my art journal is getting to play, relax and experiment and knowing that each messy page is the start of something beautiful. There’s nothing like random collage to get your creative juices flowing!

Most people think creativity is for kids, something to enjoy when we’re young but don’t have time for as adults. What a load of crap! That type of thinking only leads to burnout, stress and countless other negative side effects. Creativity as self-care has so many positive benefits. It’s time to listen to your inner child, stop being so serious and start having some fun.

Collaboration and camaraderie are musts for a thriving creative community. When we team up and cheer each other on, magic happens! We don't just uplift artists; we create a vibrant community where creativity blooms and thrives.

Finding your unique voice as an artist is one thing, but how do you do that when you love so many different things? For many multi-passionate artists, it seems almost impossible! You are not alone in this struggle.

Sure, artwork can take you on an emotional journey, conjure up deep thoughts and wow you but did you know that just looking at art can actually boost your happiness?

Sometimes despite how much you love your style, you get that feeling of being stuck or a deep desire to branch out and try something new. For some that means using your style with a different medium or perhaps taking a workshop for something completely new.
