✨  Creative Sanctuary with Tam & Jen ✨

Episode 2: Collage & Anger

Dear Creative Friend,

I’m super excited to let you know that Jen and I have just finished our 2nd episode of Creative Sanctuary with Tam & Jen!

This time we discuss the feeling of anger, feeling our feelings and Jen shares a healing collage method with us all!

I ended up tinkering more with my collage and this wonderfully layered mixed media paint over collage journal spread appeared:

Like last time, it was so wonderful chatting with Jen and sharing our hearts and souls authentically. I hope you come have a listen and maybe create some art too while you’re at it! 😊

We definitely want to do it again so we’ll back next month with another episode! 😊

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.
