This picture is my fave… it’s followed by me fully cocooned and resting. I look forward to each week with gratitude to practice a new way to express myself creatively. I feel proud, graceful and strong af. My heart is light, I am in my feminine and sharing space with some beautiful black women cheering me on, but we are cheering each other too. Each class really reveals reminders or life lessons. We had many, but one that really resonated with me last night is “sometimes we need a little push, we need a little help to get to the space, position or place. Can we ask for the help and are we vulnerable enough to receive it?” Leaning into Rest Getting into Freedom Swinging into Love Sitting in Gratitude This is my self-care, this is my art, this is Un-ADULT-erated Black Joy 📸 @tanyaohtanya #artasselfcare #divinefeminine #bodyworkout #selfcarematters #artfromtheheart #artistmom #zntarts (at Commonwealth Circus Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgEhG6xuwMa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌟 BE PRESENT AND SHINE 🌟 . I made this piece after a little Yoga session with Sarah Trumpp that is also part of the Life Book course . Art, well-being and self-care - such a great combination for me. I really enjoy it!! . I'm also giving some old watercolor practice pieces a new purpose by using them as background for new mixed media paintings. Working in layers is really something that I love more and more each day!! . Paper: @canson_art_argentina Brush: @craftamo .

When was the last time I made a batch of personal drawings as self art therapy? TOO LONG. ✍️✨ #sunday #dayoff #artasselfcare #wip #bluepencilsketch #drawing #newartbabies #ideascomeinthrees #putthepenciltothepaper https://www.instagram.com/p/B4aw4PCFdOP/?igshid=pq5qvjewqcwn

I know a lot of people can relate to feeling kind of trapped and frantic in the wintertime. It's not always a great time of year for those of us with depression and anxiety. I've been keeping my thoughts centered by making time for some more relaxing side projects. I recently fixed up my torn tambourine with embroidery skills picked up from my grandma. I think it turned out pretty well and it was a fun process that provided some much needed me-time. #sideproject #embroideryart #tambourine #paintedtambourine #upcycle #artasselfcare #arttherapy
