✨ Creative Sanctuary with Jen & Tam Episode 3 – yay!

✨ New Episode – Creative Sanctuary ✨

Dear Creative Friend,

How are you really doing these days?

If you’re anything like me, you might be feeling weary, depleted, even carrying a quiet (or not-so-quiet) grief about the state of the world. It can feel like a lot, can’t it? So much pain, so much uncertainty. It’s hard not to feel it all. ❤️‍🩹

One thing that helps me is staying connected; to other artists, to kindred spirits like my soulful friend Jennifer, and most of all, to the creative process itself. Making art has become a gentle anchor for me. It gives shape to what’s hard to name, and space for the feelings that otherwise get stuck.

Art-making won’t necessarily fix the world, but it can help us stay soft, awake, and remain present. And maybe that’s what the world needs more of right now; sensitive souls who don’t turn away.🎗️

With that I wanted to let you know that Jennifer and I have filmed another session of ‘Creative Sanctuary with Jen & Tam – Episode 3’. This time the focus is ‘Shadow Work’. I hope you enjoy watching it and maybe you’ll art along a bit?

You can watch it here.

I made a cute empathy monster for this sessions and Jen made a doll.

I hope you enjoy this video!
Tam x 💕

ps. I also release a little ‘secret’ in this video, see if you can find it! 😉

pps. If you’d like to go a bit deeper into exploring shadow work with art, please consider joining my class “Beauty in the Shadow”, this lesson comes with a beautiful guided visualisation and an in depth lesson on how to create your own beautiful and super cute empathy monster. 😊 Join here.


Uplifting/ Nurturing Message of the Month

Have a wonderful rest of your month!

Much love, Tam 💕

A therapist once told me that she didn’t think I ‘would’ve made it’ had I not had art in my life. Not sure how helpful it was of her to say that and not sure if that was a correct assessment, but it tells you 2 things: 1. She was struck by the trauma I have experienced and 2. She was aware how powerful making art can be. It is also why I love the attached cartoon so much! 😊
