Last night I got an amazing lightning bolt of inspiration to start creative writing again. So excited to share. Here is an art journal spread inspired by that writing session and fairies.

More abstract collage; grateful for this
Found my way back to inspiration for my favorite form of expression. Often I will go on creative sprints and then feel the need to take a break from this particular medium. Always a happy return. Completed after doing some Oracle art tonight. Readings still available in my Etsy, and they include a lovely one-of-a-kind mixed media artwork to go along with your message, affirmation and prompts. shops on sale 25% until Valentine’s Day.

finally braving my studio
Sitting in my studio has been a struggle
It’s a wreck
I am too overwhelmed to try and organize it
But I need to create. Tonight I sat down and just worked through journal spreads
This one is a favorite
I will remember this feeling
When I prioritized self care
So I can show up stronger
Tomorrow

Honestly
What colleges have you attended?
College is a touchy subject for me because it was a struggle. So, I won’t go into ALL of the colleges I’ve attended.
Most of my education was done at Northern Illinois University. I ended up graduating from Easten Illinois University. It took me almost 13 years to complete college. I think I went to six different schools in that time.
Education is different for everyone. Had I a chance to do things over, I would not have gone away to college. I would have researched more and gone through my other options.
But it’s not helpful to dwell on the past.
A mixed media journal spread. Surprisingly, I never went to school for writing or art. Other than briefly attempting a class in graphic design, I ended up graduating in general studies. -
Making Shapes
Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?
Collage pages in my travelers notebook My inner critic has not been kind to my abstract collage practice. Especially as I move through it quickly, and the pages become sparse to invite tension between the elements.
The simple layers and the shapes they make intrigue me. Lately the white space has been playing with me, inviting me to use less material for more dramatic effect. I can imagine stories of each one. They are simple, yet intricate and profound. I could fill books and books with pages like these.
I like to ask others what they see in the shapes
