Healing Hands. ❤️🩹🙌 This painting was created in 2014 for my very first free course, Art, Heart & Healing.
Unlike what marketing gurus preach these days, I didn’t make this free course as a “lead magnet” or a “low-barrier offer to increase conversions.” I created it because, after running my very first paid course (World of Whimsy – more about this in days to come), I received an email from someone who told me her daughter was living in her attic, struggling with deep depression. She believed my art course could really help her, but they simply couldn’t afford it.
That broke my heart a lot and her email stuck with me. So I decided to offer something for free; not as a tactic, but as a gift to those who truly needed it. There was no sales funnel, no hidden agenda. The only thing I asked what that participants share the course on social media if they felt moved to, but that was it.
Art, Heart & Healing was born out of love, compassion, and the belief that art can be healing and accessible to everyone.
The course attracted a lot of people and introduced many people to the healing power of art.
This course also planted the seed for Life Book (my year long art and healing course I ran for 13 years, more about that soon).
This angel painting is close to my heart. I love the simple colour scheme and gentle expression on her face. I used a lot of extra mixed media supplies in this painting too, which was so fun. It includes texture paste, collage and even glitter! I love the hearts on her hands, like healing hands. Or hands that send out love, like mine. I always hoped that the art my hands created, sent out love the world, one way or another.
Thank you for being here with me today frens.
Happy Sunday.
