I am starting a vlog for expressive arts therapy art journal exercises.  The link for the exercises is https://www.expressiveartworkshops.com/expressive-art-e-courses/100-days-of-art-journal-therapy/ My first video is how to create an art journal out of a composition notebook https://youtu.be/xN9WaKi1kBs My second video is on the topic of dealing with your inner critic https://youtu.be/r0Hacyf4IYI

These pages are inspired by Rumi's quotes and poetry.  Effy Wild has a monthly class which focuses on a specific quote and art journaling and this was my inspiration to begin this art journal.  This art journal was done in a composition notebook.

These two paintings were inspired by Ivy Newport 's class The Guilded Brush

The past 6 months have seen a new marriage, new family members, new house- saying good-bye to the old and welcoming the new.  FINALLY, I have my space to where I think I can create :-)   I am currently starting two new online classes: RAW   with  Galia Alena   Mixed Media Works on Paper with Donna Downey This blog post is an assignment to introduce myself and my sacred space.   I'm Jessica Ann Lane and I've chosen to show you my new studio space to represent my creative recovery because I just moved and it has taken a long time to get my new space to where I feel comfortable enough to start creating. It is filled with my precious supplies, photos of my family, paintings, and my sacred relics. #ThisIsMe
