Creative Self Care

Feeling stressed or frazzled.

You really need a time out.

It is time for creative self care.

I would start by reading the Staying Present in Your Art Practice blog post.

Sometimes taking a few minutes to make something ‘ugly’ and grungy and seeing the beauty is just what you need.

Now make some thing beautiful for your self.

  1. Scribble everything that is heavy on your mind in black ink.

  2. Cover it up with collage papers or paint, leaving some of your scribbles exposed.

  3. Look at your piece from every angle and think about what you see. If you feel some solutions to your heaviness, scribble that our and repeat step two.

  4. Grab a neutral color and add it to your page around the rough edges of your piece.

  5. Add some bold marks in a dark contrasting color.

  6. Finish your piece with clipart or fodder.

Creativity has always been a large part of my life. I believe that everyone is a creative, some people just have not discovered their passion yet. My goal is to share the message, “Go Forth and Create!”

Mixed media is my love. I thrive on the freedom of working in any medium I want and combining watercolor, ink, acrylics, fabrics-everything is fair game.

Living in Alaska, I am surrounded by beauty. I find the scenery and the people equally inspiring. the world is endlessly providing inspiration and my mission is to take full advantage. My favorites include color, nature, family, books, people and so much more.
