My Mama, gone 2 years today

Pay attention to what feels like a YES. Let that YES inform your creativity. A sketchbook is a great place to capture, discover and play with your inspiration.

Play time with my Intuitive Painting students at the ✨🥰 I’m working with acrylic and magazine/watercolor images on canvas and in my sketchbook. Playing with ways to integrate pieces, layering, and getting out of my blue/green color comfort zone.

This Friday is my Mom’s celebration of life. 2-4 at the Broad Ripple Art Center

A few mixed-media sketchbook pages. Working in a sketchbook helps remind me that I am PLAYING without pressure to produce or stay within the confines of a series or style. This translates to movement as well. When we stay in the pleasure of the creative process, we allow ourselves to explore the expanse of our creative space.

In our Reclaiming, we must Re-Member as well as Re-Vision the Sacred Feminine ✨ Friday the 13th must be taken back from the patriarchal constructs in which we live. This is not a day or number of bad luck but rather a symbol of the strength, grace and wisdom that composes the feminine ✨ Take this day to integrate ritual and celebration into your life. Gather with friends, connect with your natural environment, light a candle, do your Self-care, meditate, make some art, cast a spell, love yourself and your family 🍯

In case you’re starting to freak out

Ive been burning things down like a pyro...sometimes it’s easy to throw that match, sometimes you have to build that fire up and make it hot with the help of your support system...in any way you destroy what is no longer good for you...bless it and celebrate the beauty of your clear sky once it’s gone. ✨🙏✨🥳🎂

🌱It’s all about the process✨Here is mine✨ I was resonating heavily with the elements and they came through as major building blocks in my board. It feels pretty complete but I may do some further embellishment.

🌱Today’s class was AMAZING! It’s is a powerful thing to have the opportunity to reflect and work your own intuitive Magick...on yourself, for yourself...and that’s what we did ✨🙏✨ Everyone created such a different board and there were so many surprises, validations and magically, some tears to bless the gathering✨

✨Remember your Magick✨ This Sunday 1-4pm at ✨🌱💦✨🎨Our culture normalizes what makes us amazing, or worse, tells us we are crazy. Remembering how magical you are brings you back into your own power, it says no to inner-outer-colonization and it say ✨💦YEEESSS💦✨to loving the F**K out of yourself. ✨🌱💦🎨Link in bio ✨✨✨💎Also pictured...OG from 🤤🤤🤤
