✨ Step into the Art Oasis with Me ✨

 

Dear Creative Friend,

I know we’ve literally just finished the tasters for A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales but I wanted to let you know about another amazing free art event I’m sure you’d love to join and it’s starting in only 2 days! 😊

So, I’m super excited to let you know that I am part of Art Oasis, a FREE online creative retreat starting October 18 2025. Yay! 🥳🎉🎊

For 7 days, artists (including me!) will be sharing lessons, stories, and creative inspiration to help you slow down, refill your creative well, and remember how good it feels to make art just for YOU.

Here’s what you can expect each day:

  • Fresh, inspiring art lessons (all levels welcome)
  • Cozy Conversations – real, heartfelt chats with artists about our creative journeys
  • Daily creative prompts to keep your ideas flowing
  • A friendly, global, online community of fellow creatives

How It Works

  • Watch online – anytime, anywhere, at your own pace. Watch one lesson or all of them – there are no rules and no risk. It’s completely FREE!
  • Fit it into your schedule however works best for you!
  • Grab inspiring free gifts from the featured artists.
  • Want to extend your stay in the Oasis? Grab the VIP Pass!

I’ll be teaching a session on ‘play and the inner child’! This is the painting we’ll make together (or something like it):

 

… and I’d love for you to join me! ♥️

👉 Click here to register for free: Join Art Oasis

This event is all about permission; to play, to explore, to create without pressure. If you’re craving that kind of creative joy, I hope I’ll see you inside the Oasis!

Much Love,

Tam 💕

PS – After you sign up, you’ll have the option to upgrade to the VIP Pass – this gives you forever access to every lesson (including mine!) and some incredible bonus content. If you grab it during registration, you’ll get the lowest price.

Friends, this little guy, omg, he makes me melt. He’s a magical little troll, a messenger of nature, telling us all; “it will all be ok in the end”. He offers hugs, a listening ear, breathing sessions, sit-spots in nature with him and warm cookies if you give his hair a good brush once in a while. 😉

Rapunzel – Freed.

I went on quite a journey with this painting. Reading the original Grimm version of Rapunzel deeply moved me: her long, beautiful hair cut by the witch who raised her, her exile into the wilderness while pregnant with twins, her survival of all that hardship, and finally her becoming the one who saves the prince.

To me, this is true female empowerment. I wanted to paint Rapunzel as defiant and transformed. And crucially, I wanted to give her long hair again - not as a ladder, not as something to be used or admired by others, but as a reclamation of power. A part of her body that was once appropriated becomes fully her own again.

Teaching on A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales; I`m loving diving deep into the original fairy tales, myths and stories and bringing one or other aspect alive of these stories on the page.

This piece is a `paint over collage` painting. We start off by laying down our collage elements and then layer paint, crayons, markers, acrylics, gold leaf etc on top. A deeply layered and moving process. 😍😍😍

I adore how this came out. I`m particularly in love with the lavenders, hot pink and layer collage pieces in this painting.
