The second term of LifeBook is starting in 3 days. These are the two lessons I created for the course--- one is created with sticks and ink with a focus on honouring our stories, the one of the right is focused on experiment and play with lots of rolling and drips. Always a bit edgy to roll over a portrait!! Tam(Tamara Laporte) is offering a 20% off discount for those still considering joining with this code: LIFE20 Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3hEFem2

Painting a portrait with sticks! It takes the pressure off. I love finding ways to make painting a portrait seem less scary and to allow ourselves to engage in the medicine of it. This is a sneak peak of my bonus lesson for Life Book called Honour Your Story. We connect in the moment with our story and allow what is. And, yes, some non-dominant hand drawing and painting with sticks found in my yard. The second term of Life Book is starting and if you haven't joined and are considering, there is a 20% off code for the next week: LIFE20. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3hEFem2

If you missed my Instagram live conversation with Kiala Givehand, you can still watch it here (It was hard to get a good screen shot of us both!). Kaila asked some great questions and really reflected back to me what my art and teaching offers the world. She described my artwork as ancient and my painting process as intuitive with intention. Both fit so well! I was very touched. We also discuss Pull, Pen, Paint (more info below): https://www.instagram.com/tv/CNDtynBlj8P/
