More sketchbook experiments - in order - inspired by Liz Steel Watercolour course. Painting the same scene multiple times helps you learn so much about papers, brush strokes, and pigments. Stillman & Bern Alpha Sketchbook 6 X 6 - paper allows for smooth line work and distinct stoke marks, pigment floats on top and can do some fun things. I would love a larger square format. Hahnemuhle Watercolour Book 8.5 x 11.5 - nice combination of watercolour paper and smooth texture. Expensive 😔 Would love a brighter white. Love the texture of the cover. Moleskin watercolor sketchbook 8.5 x 11.5 - paper has a more traditional cold press texture (rougher), doesn’t allow for smooth line work. I don’t like the tone (color) of the paper. Not a fav. #onelife #playtolearn #watercolours #watercoloursketchbooks #createtoheal
Playing with different papers. 1264 Fabriano sketchbook. Too much texture on this paper for my liking but I like this watercolour sketch. It’s a good book to play in. #onelife #watercolour #watercoloursketch #createtoheal
“Oh…When they ask about me… Just say, I went out with a bang!” @mrjacobbanks #CreateToHeal #Elevāted #FaaDance
I think when you’re in a dark mental state, it’s so easy to hold onto the negatives. So easy to become weighed down with everything you’re trying to battle. Not wanting to be a burden, trying to get back to normal, or just trying to deal with your feelings as a whole. Something that one of my counselors suggested was to think of a few things you’re grateful for each day, or what went well that day. They can be small - You actually got out of bed, you smiled in the mirror, ate all three meals. By thinking of the positive, it helps reset that cycle in your head to see the brighter things. There are many apps out there to help you document these, but the one I use is ‘3 Good Things.’ It reminds you every day to record three good things that happened that day. It’s helped me a couple of times when I felt like I couldn’t get out of a spiraling mindset. I hope you give it a try! .

Have you ever connected to a song so deeply that you felt the lyrics were flowing with the marrow of your bones? ‘Heavy’ by Linkin Park is that song for me. The year this came out, 2017, was the hardest year of my life. From the beginning to the end, nothing seemed to go right. I could not win. It put me into my first experience with depression. When I heard this song, every cell in my body prickled. It seemed like every day was so HEAVY for me to carry. When my thoughts turned unrecognizable, my amazing, supportive husband and I knew it was time for me to get help. Asking for help is nothing to be ashamed of. It’s not natural to go 100% all the time. Sometimes the hardest part is taking the first step. I was fortunate enough to get help through an EAP program my husband’s work provided under his benefits. Many workplaces have EAP programs, so check with yours to see if it’s a service available. If not, this website is a great resource if you need somewhere to look for resources: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/find-help You are here for a reason, you are loved, and you are important 🫶🏼 Disclaimer: It’s essential to note that I’m only sharing my personal experiences and what has helped me.

To God Be The Glory! Yesterday I was blessed to facilitate a Creative Healing workshop with an amazing group of women. They came eager, willing and open to the possibilities of art and emotional wellness. I got home yesterday and purposefully placed myself in a posture of gratitude, because I witnessed breakthroughs, Ah Ha moments, healing and power of story and community. It was powerful! If you weren’t able to make it, see you at the next one! Dear Lord, I thank you. Thank you Women in Motion of High Point Pam Baldwin for the opportunity to participate in the GWYN series. I appreciate the space to teach, create and facilitate. Thank you for helping through out the event down to the last paint palette and water cup was put up.❤️ Be prepared to be sicka me! #IamFree #creativehealing #creativehealingwithyolanda #artheals #arthealsthesoul❤️ #arthealstheheart #poetryheals #writetoheal #createtoheal @creative_healing_podcast @womeninmotion.hp @thepambaldwin Be sure to swipe.😀
Waking up on Instagram… Let me tell you and show you but never observe or try to understand your process through opening my ears which actually facilitates change (if change is needed). Been noticing a lot of posts about aesthetics here. There is nothing wrong with aesthetics, keep sharing your art. There is also nothing wrong with sharing your current practice. It is all curated. Success and failure put together to present a message. There is something wrong with selling through demonstrating an altruistic act but when in the same room with that person your questions fall on deaf ears or are entirely ignored. Ignore the numbers, ask questions and notice how you feel in their presence. Really pause and check in with your body. Images/videos are powerful and influential but not necessarily fake or motivated purely for self image.

Mental health is not a destination, but a journey. It's about how you drive, not where you're going. The path may be bumpy and the visibility might sometimes be poor, but every turn, every uphill climb, and every stormy weather faced with courage brings you closer to the sunshine that waits beyond the clouds. Remember, it's okay to ask for directions, to take rest stops, and to travel at your own pace. You're not alone on this journey. A saúde mental não é um destino, mas uma jornada. É sobre como você dirige, não para onde está indo. O caminho pode ser acidentado e a visibilidade às vezes pode ser pobre, mas a cada turno, a cada subida, e todo clima tempestuoso enfrentado com coragem o aproxima do sol que espera além das nuvens. Lembre -se, não há problema em pedir instruções, fazer paradas de descanso e viajar no seu próprio ritmo. Você não está sozinho nessa jornada. #artheals #mentalhealthmatters #creativemindsheal #arttherapyjourney #expressivehealing #mindfulart #healingthroughcreativity #emotionalexpressionart #artisticwellbeing #mentalwellnessart #createtoheal #artforthesoul #therapeuticartwork #mindartconnection #healingbrushstrokes #artfulmindfulness #expresshealtransform #artisticmentalhealth #creativecoping #artistsformentalhealth
Time to create. Time to be in the zone of creativity. Time to get messy. Loving @lalymille The Flower Flow Taster Week. Just what I need to have a break from the intensity of bringing my podcast back to life and organising the Black Cockatoo Photography fundraiser for my partner @why_creations_wildlife. It is about tuning to what you are needing. Pause. Play. Rejuvenate. There is plenty of time to do. #artadventures #artistinthemaking #arthealsthesoul #creativepractice #createtoheal #createtoexplore #sacredpause #playmatters #getmessyartjournal

Snug as a bug in a rug. 💗 It wasn't until I got home that I realised this Little Honey Bunny outfit matches the bunny/pram rug I am knitting for my great niece. I went to the shopping centre for something completely different and came out with this. 😉🤣🙃 #greataunt #greatniece # #womenwithoutchildren #childlessnotbychoice #cutiepatooties #knittinglove #fulloflove #creativepractice #createtoheal #havefun #beplayful
Enjoying another day off. 🐰🐰🐰 It has taken me all this time not to worry about my business. What I should be doing rather than relaxing and having a lovely time. Guilt really drives you. It keeps you from listening to what you want to do for yourself. To care for yourself. I have been having a lovely time knitting another rug for my great niece - each stitch full of love, reading, watching TV, and painting. This has given me time to empty my head, allowing lovely thoughts to come in about my life and where I am now. It is also giving me the time to get ready to restart the podcast I had started a few months ago. I am excited and ready to start launching in the next month or so. What delights have you been up to this long weekend? #funtime #relaxandunwind #greataunt #knitting #creativepractice #createtoheal #lovemyniece #podcasthost #newseason #empoweringwomen #womaninbusiness #havefaithinyourself #trustyourintuition #arthealsthesoul
Art is revealing. What you know about yourself. What you don't want to know about yourself. It reveals what you haven't fully released. It reveals the hidden. It unveils you leaving you raw. It hepls bring you together. I didn't like the background of this piece. Unlike the other one. Last post or keep swiping. I was having to push through to finish it. It taught me to keep going. Trust in the process. Listen to my intuition. I did. I like the result. Sometimes, it is worth keeping on going. Sometimes, you need to stop. It is learning to know the difference. That is part of healing from trauma. #artadventures #arthealsthesoul #creativepractice #createtoheal #traumarecovery #trustinyourself #traumaawareness #mindfullife #intuitiveart #puredelight #healingfromtrauma #deephealing #shadowwork #empoweringwomen #empoweryourlife #freeyourself #lifeaftertrauma #ownyourpower #takealeapoffaith
A brag post. 🎉🎨🖼 I am so proud of myself for creating this artwork for Eucalyptus Day run by Gabbi from @artofflow. The process was to do the background without thought. Get paint on paper. Have fun. I did that. But I didn't like the result. I sat on it for a couple of days, wondering how I would shift the energy and that sinking feeling. Down to the studio. Sat down. Started. Allowing it to flow. And voilà! I am wrapped.

In early 2023 CAFAR foundation was founded by three friends, with a shared dream to support individuals and communities in their healing journey, raise awareness, and foster empowerment through various creative modalities. We believe in the transformative power of artistic expression to provide a platform for healing and growth. Through innovative programming and initiatives, we strive to create inclusive expressive spaces where individuals can explore their experiences, share their stories, and find strength in solidarity. Our mission is to empower communities to reclaim their narratives, advocate for their rights, and cultivate resilience in the face of adversity. #communityhealingagenda #theatreforthepeople #rewritenarratives #empathyforall #expressivetherapy #createtoheal #CAFAR

Last night I was delighted to have a spot on the stage at Rave Revue. I spent the entire night painting, jamming out, and catching up with dear friends. This is my first time painting on stage, and it felt like a fever dream. I was so lost in flow! This was the first time I've started from a completely white canvas at an event too. I didn't bring a spare canvas either, just decided to commit to whatever came forward. I'm so grateful to consistently have a home at Rave Revue's events. They are such a great group of people, and watching these events grow bigger has been amazing. I can see my own art growing alongside them, and I'm grateful for all the experiences I have at these gatherings! It does my heart good every single time I'm there. 😊❤️ . . #newenglandartist #pvdartist #livepaint #rave #newenglandravers #edm #stageartist #wildlife #createtoheal

"Michelle" is a fem form made with acrylic and molding, dried flowers, sand, parched succulent and cicada shells make up the reproductive organs. Creating from darkness brings light. Currently on digital display at @laslagunaartgallery for Women in Art. #createtoheal #cathardic #rawpower
I have been weary to paint with acrylics, haven't painted with them for months. Somehow they seemed intimidating all of a sudden. I finally had the courage to do something about it today and painted the lid of my new paper scrap box. Small victory!!

Do you think art is healing? How does art help you heal? Have you ever created with the intention to give and receive healing? Art has the power to heal. It can play an important role in cultivating mental health and well-being. Art allows us to channel feelings that can be difficult to express and share messages that are important to address. Art can also help bring us into community with one another. Let our Survivors' Art Summit (SAS) be the space for your healing, your voice, and your opportunity to empower and educate the community with your message. Register today to be an artist with SAS!

The last few pgs from my journal that I haven't shared aside from in the reel a few posts back. The first layout is part of a series where I art journaled a macro 🍄 dose from summer of '22. It totally changed my life & it was fun to document it in this way. // The circle connected with thread were sent to me from @loverainjournals & here they're representing how everything is connected. The next is layers of edges from pgs ripped out of a magazine- such a cool texture. On the star page I was playing around with an idea after a little chat with #mentalhealthmatters about using masking tape in different ways. // You can see a flip thru of the whole journal a few posts back. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #artjournaltherapy #weareallconnected #mushroommedicine #junkjournalsofinstagram #letsmakesomething #createtoheal #createtocreate #mentalhealthmatters

Thanks, Emily McDowell for this little truth nugget & ain't it the truth. You don't actually have to go out looking for yourself; you have to peel back all your layers of all your selves & unearth her. That's exactly what this journal is- a peeling back of some of layers. Not that I had that in mind when I started, but that's definitely where it went ✨️ // Hoping share a flip thru of it in a couple days 🤞 if me & ig can cooperate for long enough. . . . . . . . . . #createtoheal #createtocreate #inspirationalquotes #findingyourself #lovingyourself #recoveringfromreligion
A few years ago I started drawing because I was struggling with loss and drawing was one of the only things that stil made me happy. I've spent so many hours, days, weeks, months, drawing, writing. It brought me peace, a feeling bring more connected to myself... Creating is so healing and transformative, it brings something from inside of us into the world of form - and while doing it not only formless comes to form, or inside to outside, emotions get transformed as well simultaneously, become something beautiful 💛 I would love to hear from you what creation or being creative brought you 💛 #createtoheal #drawing #freedomdrawing #powerofcreation #intuitivecreation #moleskine Photography inga.powilleit

#repost @mamahealingtrauma 🩵👇🏾READ THE CAPTION👇🏾🩵 DEAR MAMA HEALING TRAUMA, You were born to become the ✨ cycle breaker - your children’s greatest source of ❤️ not their greatest source of pain. You are the one who refuses to inherit family dysfunction, rising like a phoenix from all the pain and suffering. You change family patterns, setting yourself on fire 🔥 to burn ✨brighter✨ than the 🌎 around you. You find the courage to look back and feel it all... But it’s going to take you longer, push you further, and cost you more than you could ever possibly imagine. It will require every single ounce of strength, courage, and tenacity inside you to keep on fighting, even when the world tells you that you’re crazy, that you should get over it, put it behind you, let it go. You won’t get over it. You won’t set it down. You won’t let it go. You will become, and when you do, you’ll see that your becoming was the most profound act of love 💕 you had to give to the world. You’ll look back at it all - the wars you’ll wage, the failures you’ll face, and all the people you will lose along the way - and wonder how in the world you did what you did to become what you’ve become, given every f*cking thing that you’ve been through. I am here to tell you that no matter what you’ve been through, no matter what’s been stolen from you, no matter what you’ve had to do or become to survive - you were born to be loved 🥰, you were created to heal ❤️🩹- and your becoming, your healing, your life - is worth every single fight you are going to have to battle to reclaim that right. I can promise you that who you are going to become is worth fighting for, and I know this because l’ve fought that battle myself.

I read this Anais Nin poem recently and it struck a cord for me. So I’m thinking that maybe it will resonate with someone else at the time they need it too. Has the day come to make an adjustment… maybe the cost is too high right now not to… or maybe not. As always you decide. 🌹 Psychotherapy available to explore what’s important to you.

Letting go of perfection takes practice. Plenty of practice. I will find myself wanting to get the end result immediately. Have a lovely art piece to enjoy and share. Yet, here I am practicing. Because practice makes perfect! Right? Ever since I had that wonderful sacred conversation for my YT channel with @rodineisfelddesigns, Look into the world of an Artist, and seeing her joy in preparing, mulling it over, allowing the canvas and brushes to call to her, I have started. At the moment, I am having fun practicing leaves and stems. Next will be flowers. Then the grand finale, pulling it all together. PS I wore this scarf, called the Artist Palette, to help me channel my inner artist.

Current mood ✨️ it always kind seems out of the blue, but the deeper I get to know myself, I'm starting to notice little signs that it's coming. The shadows, the gloomy feelings, the numbness... I never really know what to call it. I used to let it consume me. I'd engage with the negative thoughts, I'd shame myself for how I felt, I'd let in all the guilt & despair. Sometimes that still happens. Mostly though, I try to get curious about why; what is that part of me trying to say? & that shift has made a world of difference. . . . . . . . . . . . . #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #feelingishealing #arttoheal #createtoheal #createtocreate #becurious #becuriousnotjudgemental #shadowwork #letthebonestalk #artthedarkout #artjournal

This just showed up in my Facebook memories.. no one take offense (it was a custom order) that I hand lettered. I’ve lost so much of my creativity the last couple of years. Hoping to get back there again. I appreciate you all. ❤️ . . . . . . #handlettering #handlettered #doyourowndishes #reclaimedwood #creativityfound #createeveryday #becreative #createtoheal #teamssvs #shopssvs
Beginning an art practice has been transformational. I find something unexpected: myself. Something I lost whilst recovering from Complex PTSD was being able to imagine and visualise. My mind was a mishmash of cables that couldn’t connect. Afraid. Slowly, over time, I have developed this part of me again. So good. It is teaching me to be in flow. To trust. To feel safe. I am finding that creating art is a dance. A dance to your tune. To your rhythm. What brings you to life. After years of following others, particularly in business, I am loving finding my tune and rhythm. Sometimes, it is slow. Sometimes it is fast. I tune in. Listen. Respond. And play. It is honing my intuition. Connection with spirit. It has helped write my memoir. My memoir has helped with creating. In addition, hosting with Rodine Isfeld, our weekly art jam for healing lives on our FB pages. So good.
