A Creative Approach Podcast

Toward the end of 2018, I was interviewed by Karen Poirier-Brode for A Creative Approach Podcast. We talked about life and how it led me to where I am at in my artistic journey. Here’s the link to the page where she highlighted what stood out to her in our conversation –

Give Yourself the Gift of Creativity in 2019

No Comments

Another Holiday season almost wrapped up, a new year ahead of us – maybe like me, you too need to unwind and balance your to-do list with your own needs at this point. A large part of my own self-care is to spend some quality time with myself, creating. It helps me recharge and repeat my family’s hectic schedule each day.

At first, I used to feel guilty and selfish, but over time I have realized that making time for art has improved the quality of my life, relationships and general sense of wellbeing to a great extent. I wish to continue to make time for myself and my art in 2019 and I encourage that you do the same. You deserve it!

And if you wish to give yourself this gift of creativity and are wondering about where to start, you might benefit from the structure and inspiration of a year-long, self-paced art course and its supportive community. I hope you will join me on one or both of these art-ventures – Life Book and Wanderlust!

Both of these courses have early bird discounts that expire on 31 December. So, sign up now and start 2019 with a creative boost!

Painting inspired by Life Book Workshop

No Comments

Recently I worked on a painting inspired by Tamara Laporte’s Life Book 2016 introductory lesson. I spent a week or so thinking about the painting even before I began. Obviously, I followed Tam’s visual style here but the assignment required a bit of thinking to work on the parts that would be unique to each person taking that class.

The painting is only 8×5.5 inches on white card stock- it’s basically a page torn out of my everyday sketchbook. I pulled out my acrylic paints to work on paper after an eternity. I spent some 10 hours on this painting. I painted this with my youngest in mind but the message is one that I could use too.

Sometimes looking at life and hope from another artist’s point of view can be quite interesting. I love how it turned out particularly because there are so many symbols in there that have personal spiritual significance for me. I enjoyed every moment I spent painting it.

Tam is offering many more of her lovely lessons in Life Book 2019, a self-paced online workshop throughout the year along with several other wonderful teachers. Lifebook 2019 will launch on 1/1/19. Registration has already opened.

You can sign up here. Use the Early Bird Discount code LOVEBOMB2019 at check out to get 20% off Life Book 2019! Offer expires on December 31st 2018, so hurry!
