Transcendence: Art & SpiritualityHow does Spirit show up in your art?
When you open up to allow Spirit to join you as you create it is amazing what can happen. I know firsthand how Spirit changed the way I create and what shows up for me. Every person has a different way to commune with Spirit and Larissa Russell of Creative U has invited me to join her in the online summit Transcendence:Art and Spirituality, I get to share how Spirit shows up for me in my session Working with grief in a Zine, and together with Larissa and 26 other presenters, we will explore the intersection of Art & Spirituality. I want to invite you to join us to explore for your own self that blend of Art & Spirituality as shared by so many amazing presenters who commune with Spirit on a daily basis as they create. In the Transcendence: Art & Spirituality Summit , you’ll find sessions like:

A Year In ColorHosted by the lovely Larissa at Creative U, A Year in Color is 52 weeks of inspiration, creativity and colour which I am sure you will thoroughly enjoy. You will also have lifetime access so you can freely go at your own pace.
In both of my lessons this year, I will be sharing my process of creating an art journal page in my magazine art journal using a limited palette and supplies easily found around your house. These are fun pages using my favourite colour palette and my favourite subjects, flowers and dragonflies. In my 1st lesson I talk about gratitude and how I incorporate it into my life and how we can tie it in with our art. In my 2nd lesson, I will talk about how we can use creativity to see the world through the lens of awe and acceptance. With a focus on self care through creativity, I'm so looking forward to sharing these with you. I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to collaborating with Larissa again and this year long summit really is shaping up to be one that is sure to keep you inspired for the whole of the year and beyond. |

Past Collaborations
When I discovered art journaling in 2013 I had no idea the impact it would have on my life. It opened up a whole new world of self expression with Book of Days being an integral part of that awakening and my art practice ever since. It lets me fully express myself in a safe and nurturing environment, enabling deeper exploration of my soul.
I am a firm advocate for art journaling as a tool for mental well-being and I hope that you can join me on another year of personal exploration with engaging teachers and playing with different art techniques.
Book Of Days is a collaborative e-course hosted by Effy ‘Bird’ Wild that has been designed to take you on a deep dive into the world of mixed media art journaling. In the year that we’ll spend together, we will be gathering, like birds of a feather, to flock together around all the ways that working with journal art can enrich and enhance our lives. The lessons you’ll find in this e-course will be suitable for everyone from beginners to advanced journal artists. You will find the lessons thorough and comprehensive, and you will find yourself creating and maintaining a practice of meeting yourself on the page.

In person Art Journal ClassesCombining personal journaling with mixed media, art journaling is an intuitive expression of you.
