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

By Maddie Turner  |   in mixed media  | Tags: A Year of Light , year long mixed media art course , mixed media art course , scholarships  

✨ 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 💕

This is for the artists who feel it all.
The dreamers who forgot they were allowed to dream.
The grown-ups who secretly still want fairy dust under their fingernails.
This is the make-a-Winter-wish time, so I’ve opened a portal:
✨ 37% OFF with code: MAGICWINTER ✨
⏳ For a very limited time.
No pressure. No hustle. Just an invitation...
If your heart just did a tiny somersault…
If a curious little pixie inside you whispered “this is it”…
If you’re ready to make art that feels like coming home…
Then step through the door. The magic is already waiting for you. 🖤✨

Sending warmth and creativity your way,
Tam xoxo❤️

Looking at more old journal pages! These are from around 2016/17 I think! 😊 The ‘one word’ thing has always been there for me. What I do when journalling; I draw/ paint/ scribble and then usually there is some kind of overwhelming emotional state that can be summarised or reflected in one word, so you often see words like: ‘open’, ‘stay’, ‘compassion’, ‘surrender’ on my journal pages. Like messages/ reflections from ‘my higher’ self. 😊
