23.01.2022 Took myself away for some necessary stillness, silence and solitude. My whole being has been screaming at me and finally I listened.

23.01.2022 Working on this.

22.01.2022 My view today. Sitting with my anxiety, agitation and lots of colour. #colourtherapy #creativetime #artheals #colour #creativelandscape #soulcare #anxietyisreal #intuitivesrtist #artjournalling #messyplay #showingup #cultivatejoy #joinme

19.01.2022 Stories matter. I love stories and I also believe in sharing stories. The ups and the downs and the both/and stories. Today I want to share a story from my life. Last week my daughter commenced her studies to become a registered nurse. I am a registered nurse and so was my mother. My mother died unexpectantly 5 1/2 yrs ago. She never had the opportunity to see Sarah blossom from a sweet 12 yr old girl into the astonishing young woman she is today. My mother didnt know her g...rand-daughter would follow in the footsteps of herself and her daughter. She isnt here to talk nurse talk with us. And I am sad about that. Today Sarahs dad and I bought Sarah her nurses watch. We had it engraved and Sarah loves it. My mother would have been thrilled. And I know she would have loved this photo of our 3 generation collection of nurse watches. This photo brings me so much joy however it is also bittersweet. It tells the story of connection, a shared love of wanting to help people and of love. It also tells the story of conversations and nurse talk that will be missed. The stories we wont hear. The joys and mishaps that wont be shared. I miss sharing this new chapter in Sarahs life with my mum. And I am also grateful to have the opportunity to share stories and have conversations with my daughter about her new emerging experiences, her grandmothers nursing tales and my nursing stories. Stories matter. The good, the bad and the in-between. Today I am grateful for my stories. #storiesmatter #bothand #love #connections #history See more

19.01.2022 Inspiration wall in my studio. If you look closely you will see I am inspired by both nature and words. What inspires you?

17.01.2022 Playing with cardboard, painters tape and paint. No plan, no outcome. Simply letting go, having some fun and being in the moment. #creativeplay #mindfulness #joy #soulcare #artfulplay #arttherapy

14.01.2022 One of the practices I use to calm my anxious inner voices is to close my eyes and move my water soluble pencil over the paper. Not thinking about making it look a certain way. Just slowly moving the pencil around. I then chose to fill in the shapes with watercolour paint. Ill probably add dots and other marks at a later stage. Its a work in progress just like me. The most exciting part of todays play was seeing the little heart shapes that appeared organically. Can you see them? #calmingmyanxiousmind #selfcare #highlyanxiousbeing #soothingpractice #meditative #processnotproduct #artsaves #practice

14.01.2022 Knitting the worries of the world away. So meditative and therapeutic. Started this blanket over 6 years ago when my world was very different. When I was very different. This year I picked it up again after an encouraging conversation with my sister. It certainly isnt a beautiful piece of work. It has holes and uneven bits but its soft and warm and keeps me present. It is perfectly imperfect just like me. It is a work in progress just like me. #knittingismytherapy #knittinginspiration #soothing #winter #soulcare #colour #meditative #perfectlyimperfect #goodformysoul

13.01.2022 A little heart shaped surprise in my art journal.

11.01.2022 ...and there was a new voice which you slowly recognised as your own, that kept you company as you strode deeper and deeper into the world, determined to do the only thing you could do - determined to save the only life you could save. ~ Mary Oliver.

10.01.2022 My collection of sketchbooks and art journals is growing. Filled with goodness. Filled with words, paint, images, colour, drawings and love. My heart and soul has a place to rest and play within these pages. #artjournalling #creativeexpression #soulwork #collections #intuitivepainting #soulhousestudio #sketchbookart #growth #progress #joy #creativeplay

09.01.2022 Just for today, I am going to trust that everything will find a way, that it doesnt have to be figured out by 9 am or 9 pm, and that being HERE is ENOUGH. ~ Brandi Kincaid. #justfortoday #hereisenough #trust #presentmomentawareness #harderthanitsounds #trusttrusttrust

09.01.2022 Bringing nature inside. Filling my home and studio with nature nourishes my soul.

08.01.2022 Enough. These few words are enough. If not these words, this breath. If not this breath, this sitting here. This opening to the life we have refused again and again until now. Until now. ~ David Whyte.

07.01.2022 What comes to your mind when you look at this photo? #firstthought #noticing #pleaseshare

07.01.2022 I came into the kitchen and found the dish cloth like this. Just the reminder that was needed. Feeling grateful for eyes to see and a heart to receive the messages meant for me in the moment.

07.01.2022 Having fun with my daughter.

07.01.2022 National parks are open again and I am thrilled. #sunset #aussiebush #mtfrench #beauty #peace #soulcare #naturetherapy

04.01.2022 Happy New Year from my space to yours. Im a little late but better late than never, so they say. Today I am sharing my new journal for 2020. My intention for these pages is to collect some of my ponderings and explorations specifically related to my word for this year. At the beginning of each year I listen for a sacred word or phrase to come into my consciousness. A word that I hope will nourish and challenge me as I move through the year. In 2020 my word is PRACTICE. I am quite excited about this word. Already I can see how it will be a wonderful companion as I journey my days. I look forward to sharing more in the coming days. If you have a word or phrase please share as I do love hearing the words and stories that come with it. wordoftheyear #journal #practice #intentions

04.01.2022 Soul care right there in my little handmade journal. Free to create just because. #soulcare #artjournal #playtime #nourish #nurture #artsuppliesmakemehappy #handmadejournal #recycledmaterials #slowingdown #griefprocess #mentalhealthmatters #arttherapyheals

03.01.2022 My view right now. While I work on the computer my son is working on repurposing some wood panels for me to paint on. Meanwhile my husband is inside the house working on a reno project with our builder. So much creativity happening here today. #repurpose #recycle #creativityinallshapesandsizes #beautifulautumnday #studio #stayingathome

02.01.2022 Bryon Bay with my 5 favourite people.

02.01.2022 Right now I am grateful for my creative space. A place to nourish my soul. A place intended to nourish other souls too. 2020 was the year I was going to be brave and open up my space for art workshops and retreats. Due to the current world crisis this has been put on hold. It is now time to pivot. I am currently exploring ways I can begin sharing some creative offerings online. This is not something I had intended to do. My vision had always been to gather, create and share p...hysically in this space. For now though, perhaps the online space can offer something beautiful and soul nourishing during these uncertain times. I dont yet know how this will look. What I do know though is that I feel a strong pull to be brave and show up in ways I never thought I would or could. Im learning that I dont always know why things are the way they are, however I do know I have choices in how I respond. In the words of Thomas Merton, You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope. Please join me in being brave in the uncertainty, bringing light, love, peace and hope to those around us. #hope #love #peace #pivot #creativeofferings #unknowntimes #soulnourishing #gratitude See more

01.01.2022 There is serenity in the art practice of continuous line drawings. Calming my heart and mind as I move the pen across the paper. Art can truely be a wonderful distraction and provider of peace. A place to unwind and let go. If you dont believe me try it. Get a piece of paper and a drawing implement and go. You can draw an image or a pattern or something totally abstract. The only rule is not to lift your drawing implement until you have finished. It can become quite addictive so I hope you have plenty of paper. Let me know how it was for you in the comments below. #artpractice #continuouslinedrawing #serenity #letgo #stayathome
