New Products and Free Events Yay! ♥️

 

OMG, so many cool things to share with you today! 🤩

First up: there are now TAM COLLAGE PAPER PACKS IN THE WORLD! HUZZAH! I’ve been wanting collage papers with my art on them for years, but always something got in the way of producing them. Then recently; the wonderful Heather from ArtStacks approached me and well, we collaborated and now there are 2 Paper Packs available with my art on them! Woohoo! I’m SO excited!

Check them out! They can be used in your art journals or artworks, you get different images and different types of papers too!

I have a ‘Faces Pack’: 
And an “Animal Pack”:

CHECK OUT ALL MY PAPER PACKS HERE

Thanks for checking out these new products! Your support always means the world to me, my team and my family! 🤗

In other news, I’m part of some super awesome summits and retreats in the up and coming months! These are free and very inspiring events, I hope you’ll join me for them! See more info below!

Much love,
Tam ♥️

FREE Art Retreat!
Sketchbook Revival! 

I have good news! The Sketchbook Revival Summit is back and I’m part of it again. This summit is truly one of my favourites, every year Karen Abend invites some super inspiring artists on it and everyone gets to make art and play around in their sketchbooks! For my session we’ll be making this colourful fox! 🙂

I hope you’ll join us here. I can’t wait to share it with you and see what you do! ♥️♥️♥️

Free Summit!
The Resonance Summit

I so enjoyed creating this painting! I call it ‘The Tree of Aliveness’ and I’ll be teaching this on a very special summit I invite you all the attend. This session will be part of The Resonance Summit, hosted by the amazing Sarah Peyton.

This summit offers a bold exploration of the latest neuroscience research that lies at the foundation of resonance (empathy). Now in its third year, the Resonance Summit provides an invaluable opportunity for all to have an immersive experience in the beauty of resonance, self-compassion, and community.

The past two summits have been deeply beautiful places for us to gather as a community: past attendees share with us over and over again just how life changing this space has been. We would love to have you join us in co-creating this revolutionary space of learning, healing, and warm connection.

This summit is a beautiful opportunity both for newcomers to be introduced to the magic of resonance, and for long-time practitioners and students to feel re-immersed in all there is to continually discover. I’m not exaggerating when I say that everyone who attends The Resonance Summit walks away with new insights, new opportunities for practice, and new meaningful connections.

Join us, it’s FREE!

Mixed media artist, teacher and author. I don’t see all IG msgs. For enq pls email hello@willowing.org - Join A Year of Magic & Fairy Tales:

Posting this one again now that I`ve properly scanned it! --> I’ve been playing with chiaroscuro lately — that dramatic dance between light and dark you see in old black-and-white portraits. Never painted just in black and white before (well, a little indigo crept in 👀). I love how moody it feels!

For my next Year of Light lesson we are exploring `chiaroscuro` (which is the use of strong contrasts between light and dark, usually bold contrasts affecting a whole composition). I`ve always loved the black and white photos of people like Marlene Ditriech and wanted to try achieve that type of effect in a painting! I don`t think I`ve EVER painted just in black and white before, but really loved doing it! (Well, I say black and white, but this also contains indigo blue and paynes gray). 😊 Really pleased with it, it has such a `vibe` (as my teen kids would say haha). ♥️♥️♥️

The wonderful Jennifer (@therapistsanctuary) and I filmed another episode for our series on the tubes (up soon!). Here are some of the pages that came out of that session for me. 😊 Loved working with fluorescent pink and in the end adding in the teal! 😍😍😍
