Process shot... The use of your hands in repetitive action is neurologically proven to be calming. If you're in a state of stress, if able to, doing something with your hands, like the dishes, mending a hole in a favourite shirt, or drawing patterns and lines, can help your nervous system calm down. I think this is one of the reasons I love creating abstract art so much. It calms and rebalances my system... When I'm stressed thinking of a concrete image to draw can feel like a massive chore even if I am craving creativity. Abstract creation allows me to leave expectations behind and move freely in the moment. #freeflow #neurological #creativebrain #therapeutic #therapeuticart #creativeexercise #abstractdrawings #abstractmixedmedia #mixedmediaabstract #mixedmediadrawing #mixedmediapainting #colorfuldecor #colouredpencil #oilpastels #whitepaint #artflow #artflowsessions #freemagic #lightworker (at Walthamstow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ-cfLyrl6S/?utm_medium=tumblr

Process shot... Something will be added to this though I'm not sure what. I was thinking of moving towards our dreams in life and the search for a secret fairy door in the woods... #fairypainting #fairydoor #forestabstractions #abstractforest #abstractpainting #abstracttrees #treeart #trees #dreamyart #dreamyabstracts #unconscious #unconsciousart #therapeuticarts #woodsart #inthewoods (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ8b76fL9tB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Title: Growing together... Inspired by my lovely Jack who has totally embraced this crazy ride and who has grown along side me. We are finding our own way as a team, a feeling I didn't know existed until I met him.💕 #loveart #romanticlove #romanticart #loveillustration #londonillustrators #canadianillustrator #abstractillustration #abstractpainting #portrait #gouachepaints #acrylicpaint #mixedmediaart #heartsandflowers #hearts #yellowpants #yellowunderwear #cozyart #cozyfeels (at Walthamstow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQVfuYjHM_q/?utm_medium=tumblr

Title: Peekaboo Pink... I loved adding these little characters. Do you see a favourite face in one of the holes?

Title: Feeling Sad in Candy Land... How does this image resonate with you? It was made freely and intuitively and makes me think of contrasting emotions and states of being. #abstracts #abstractart #abstractpainting #paintingabstract #colorfulabstract #colorfuldecor #originalart #canadianillustrator #canadianartist #londonartist #brighthomedecor #brighthome #candyland #dreamyillustrations #dreamscape #dreamyabstracts #loveabstractart #abstractonly #emotiveart #mixedmediapainting #mixedmedia (at Walthamstow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQG6WZKHGpR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Process shot... Hey guys, so I've definitely gone a bit silent on this account. Life has been kicking me in the butt and, frankly, I've been doing my best to survive let alone make art. My husband and I are just finishing a week of relaxing, the first break we've had since Christmas. It's felt strange navigating this new world and planning our big move to Canada. There is a whole lot of change percolating in the air and a lot of unknown, which always seems to freeze up my creative energy. I sat down at my art desk for the first time in about 2 months and let myself scribble and splatter colour with no planned direction. It's been freeing and oddly emotional. I'm not sure what the emotions mean but art is certainly a guiding force to healing and the unconscious. I hope to find more space to create in these coming summer months and to share more with this creative community. Sending out loving vibes. 💕 #illustrations #abstractart #creativeprocess #abstracthills #mixedmediaart #mixedmediapainting #abstractpainting (at Walthamstow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPySdr7n5ob/?utm_medium=tumblr

Title: The shift... Life has been all about chaos and balance. I've taken some big steps recently, one being, I finally started my private practice as a Dramatherapist. I'm working online, which is amazing because it opens me up to so many people I wouldn't otherwise be able to work with. I'm used to talking over video chat because that's how I stay in touch with my family and friends back home. Doing therapy online feels surprisingly natural. I'd recommend it to those who are thinking about finding therapeutic support, and don't have the physical means to meet. There have been other transformational shifts and the change has felt extremely difficult. The inner war between my inner critic and my calmer true self has been raging! But the universe makes you uncomfortable because otherwise you wouldn't move and you wouldn't grow. Here's to psychic growing pains and the lessons they offer. 💖 #privatepractice #abstractart #abstractillustration #londonillustrator #abstractdoodles #abstractdrawing #feltpens #abstractartist #therapeuticart #artistictherapist #canadianartist #colourfulshapes #creativetherapy #psychicgrowth #growth #colorfuldecor (at Walthamstow, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM91AnLHjKd/?igshid=1ih8228nr18p8

It's mother's day in the UK so here are two very different maternal pieces. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. To those who are in their rhythm, to those who are struggling and to those mothers who are no longer with us.

Title: I am part of everything... Peaceful cloud girl. This is what a meditative state feels like to me. Being part of the sky, the universe. When you feel so connected everything else melts away. It used to happen when I was practicing yoga regularly. I stopped a few months into lock down though I know I will make space for it again soon. It's been hard to keep good habits during this time. I'm looking forward to going to a yoga studio again where I can feed off of the calming and motivating energy. I miss practicing with other people.
