Quirky Birds first came to me about 6/7 years ago in 2013. I found myself doodling one day and ended up creating this odd/ strange/ asymmetrical little bird characters who seemed to be totally happy within themselves. They had a joy of life in them and a self love and self acceptance I envied for sure! Read More

Did you know I ADORE Highland cows?! Was high (ha) time that I painted one. Particularly one as cute as this! 😍😍😍
The wonderful Jennifer ( @therapistsanctuary ) and I filmed another episode of `Creative Sanctuary`. This one is all about `Shadow Work`. 😊 Come hang out with us for a bit and let us know what you think? ♥️♥️♥️ The video is now live! Link to my channel in my linktree on my profile/ bio. ♥️♥️♥️ Or go here: https://youtu.be/Sce7V9gDMGQ?si=P9wRMQNlpy_7JwOP
This little cutie on a swing just popped up on my memories and I love the mixed media textures and her cutie little face in this so much! 😍😍😍 I painted this 6 years ago.
The wonderful @therapistsanctuary and I have filmed another session for our `Creative Sanctuary` series on the y tubes 😊 . This time we talked about `shame` and `shadow work` in general. Jen made a doll and I made an empathy monster! 😊 Many of you will have created an empathy monster with me before in response to the Shadow Work Life Book lesson in the past (and also on woman unleashed!) This cutie did not disappoint me. 😊 The episode will be up on my channel soon! ♥️♥️♥️ Link in my bio/ linktree.
When I`m low and life feels heavy, I end up creating innocent, delightfully cute creatures. I don`t tend to paint `my pain`, I tend to paint `what I need` or `what will soothe me`. The sweet characters offer a reprieve of some sorts, an escape from the dark, a soulful moment of compassion and empathy. I can hear this cute little guy say; “hey hey, it’s gonna be ok, want a cookie or a hug?” 😊 Hope he brightens up your day too. ♥️♥️♥️
