Did you know I ADORE Highland cows?! Was high (ha) time that I painted one. Particularly one as cute as this! πππ
The wonderful Jennifer ( @therapistsanctuary ) and I filmed another episode of `Creative Sanctuary`. This one is all about `Shadow Work`. π Come hang out with us for a bit and let us know what you think? β₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈ The video is now live!

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! πππ I painted this 6 years ago.
The wonderful @therapistsanctuary and I have filmed another session for our `Creative Sanctuary` series on the y tubes π . This time we talked about `shame` and `shadow work` in general. Jen made a doll and I made an empathy monster! π 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. π The episode will be up on my channel soon! β₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈ 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; βhey hey, itβs gonna be ok, want a cookie or a hug?β π Hope he brightens up your day too. β₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈ
My latest painting. So enjoyed working on her cute little happy face. Fun little tidbit; was trying to make βsquinty eyesβ as if she was looking into the sun, but failed and now they are just small eyes, but I love them so much. I usually draw more big eyed people so it was a pleasant surprise how this ended up. π
Frens! π₯° I know weβve literally just finished Mastering Mixed Media, but I couldnβt HELP but let you know about this amazing new other event that Iβm part of that I think youβll absolutely love.
For the last 7 years Iβve been part of a great art event called Sketchbook Revival hosted by my friend @karenabend
Sketchbook Revival is a free creative event (with an optional bundle buy-in) with usually 35 or so artists who all share inspirational sketchbook techniques and exercises with you!
This year, Karen is doing things a little differently!
Introducing:
SKETCHBOOK REVIVAL BINGE FEST 2025!
Imagine having FREE access to over 130 Workshop sessions from Sketchbook Revival that ran through 2018-2022. Thatβs FIVE years of transformational Sketchbook Revival Workshop content, featuring 100 exceptional artists, re-opening for 2 exciting weeks.
Five of my previous workshops are included!

The wonderful Jen of @therapistsanctuary and I did it again! πWe filmed another session of `Creative Sanctuary`. OMG we had so many tech woes π π¬π , but we got there in the end! This time we discussed the topic of `anger` and Jen shared a collage process with us that can really help you process `the stuffs` (feelings and all that! π). While the exercise was collage focused, I couldn`t help but layer on more after our session, here is the outcome of the layered, intricate and full of depth and emotion journal spread! The video will be up on the Y T channel soon! π Link to my y t channel in my linktree via my bio! β₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈ

Iβm going through a phase of close eyed girls at the moment. Theyβre either dreaming or not able to face reality or both. π π¬ In any case; I like her; she feels soothing somehow. π

Worked more on the mixed media piece. I love swallows. Every year, swallows nest in our barn and they flit about above our garden and it`s such a joy to see them fly around with such freedom. This painting has got lots of mixed media layers, including: writing, collage, stencils, markers, acrylic inks, crayons, heavy and matt acrylics. π
Working on a new mixed media project. These colours give me an instant serotonin/ dopamine boost. Drugs? Who needs them when you have magenta, orange and teal in your life!!! π
Make this with me on the Free Resonant Summit. Link in bio/ treelink to free sign up. β₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈ
