The wonderful Jen of @therapistsanctuary and I did it again! 😊We filmed another session of `Creative Sanctuary`. OMG we had so many tech woes 😅😬😅, 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! 😉). 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! 😊 Link to my y t channel in my linktree via my bio! ♥️♥️♥️

I’m going through a phase of close eyed girls at the moment. They’re either dreaming or not able to face reality or both. 😅😬 In any case; I like her; she feels soothing somehow. 💕

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. 😊

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!!! 😁

Hello good honourable groovy friends. 😊 I`m excited to let you know that I`ll be presenting on the wonderful Sarah Peyton`s Resonance Summit again this year! 😊
This year the focus is on childhood healing and so for my session I will invite you to honour your inner child and explore the needs that were not met during your early life.
Through colour, play, and gentle expression, we`ll create a colourful butterfly (using childlike and imperfect shapes) that holds space for your healing, growth and transformation.
We will try to paint with the spirit of our inner child and choose supplies that we loved as children (like glitter and crayons eeee!).
I can wait to share this with you soon! Sarah`s summits are full of deep empathy, compassion, resonance, wisdom, beauty, community and MOAR. 😊 Hope you`ll join us (link in stories/ bio/ treelink).
Big hugs, much love. 💕

Hi Friends!😊 Happy day to you! The first episode of `Creative Sanctuary with Tam & Jen` is now up and running on my Y T (link in bio/ treelink/ stories). Hope you`ll give it a listen! 😊 Much love, Tam 💕 @therapistsanctuary

Somewhere at the end of last year, the wonderful Jennifer Westcott asked me if she could interview me for her podcast. Jennifer is a therapist and uses art to support healing, so of course I said yes! I LOVE talking to therapists. Turned out we really clicked and said; `let`s do some stuff together for Y T maybe?` And so today, we sat down on zoom and just painted and chatted. The theme ended up being the `inner child` and so the journal pages attached were created. It was super fun and inspiring to chat with Jen. What I love about Jen is that she is not afraid to go deep and face the shadows and share vulnerably. So we are now thinking of doing a monthly youtube thing! 😊The video will be up in the next couple of days. In the meantime here are some pics of the art journal page I did today. 😊

The chaotic aftermath of a creative session. 😆😂🤣 This is actually fairly tidy for my doing. When collage is involved oh boy! 😆

Lately, I’ve been drawn to creating sweet, innocent characters. With everything happening in the world and the stress it brings, I find comfort in connecting with a sense of innocence, and these adorable cutie patooties help with that. It was a joy to see this little one come to life this evening! The scarf needs a little more work but I adore his face and his sweetness. 😍😍😍 😻
