Art is not a talent you are born with, it's a skill you can build with practice. 🎨👩‍🎨👨‍🎨

It's easy to feel intimidated by art when we see amazing works created by talented artists. But the truth is, anyone can learn how to create beautiful and meaningful art with practice and dedication. Art is a skill that takes time and effort to develop, just like any other skill.

Whether you're interested in drawing, painting, sculpture, or any other form of art, the key to success is to keep practicing. Don't be discouraged by early failures or imperfect pieces – every artist starts somewhere, and the more you practice, the better you'll become.

So if you're feeling inspired to create something new, remember to make good art, you have to make bad art and keep practicing until you get the desired outcome. Start small, practice, and watch your skills grow! 🌟 👩‍🎨🖌️🎨

Moon child, forever chasing the magic of the night sky 🌙✨ I'm in love with this new painting of a boho-style moon adorned with delicate pink flowers and lush monstera leaves. It's the perfect embodiment of my love for nature and the whimsical spirit of bohemian style. There's something so captivating about the contrast between the soft, feminine colors and the bold, tropical leaves. I hope this painting can inspire you to embrace your inner moon child and seek beauty in the unexpected. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below! 🎨💕

Lost in a dreamy world of moonlit skies and vibrant poppy flowers 🌙🌸 My latest gouache painting is a tribute to the beauty of nature and the enchanting power of the night. There's something magical about the contrast between the cool tones of the moon and the warm hues of the poppies. I hope this painting can transport you to a serene and peaceful state, just like it did for me while creating it. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below! 🎨✨

Growth is a conscious choice. You have to choose to face the uncomfortable truth and take action to change mindsets, through patterns, and emotional responses.

Lately, I have been dissatisfied with the way I manage anger. I hold onto things for far too long. I decided I don't want to live like that so I'm working on letting things go instead of gripping them so tightly. Are you growing? What sort of things are you working on right now?

Art has the power to heal and bring peace to the mind. When life gets tough, I turn to my canvas as a healthy coping skill. The process of creating something beautiful helps me process my emotions and bring balance to my life. I encourage everyone to find their own creative outlet, whether it's drawing, painting, or writing. It's amazing how much healing can come from the simple act of expressing yourself through art.

Lost in thought and found in creativity. Art is a journey of self-discovery where I can escape reality and express myself freely.

She shines so bright, a fire in the night,
Made of stars and galaxies, fierce and alight.
With strength and power untold,
Her skin is woven of stardust and gold.
As she moves through space, a celestial dance,
Her fiery aura, a beautiful chance.
Her curves twist and spin,
Illuminating the darkness within.
She's made of constellations and endless skies,
Her wisdom and grace, forever a surprise.
She stands on her own without apologies,
This fierce woman, of stars and galaxies!

I am an artist. Sometimes my medium of choice is paint, sometimes it's paper AND sometimes it's makeup. I've even been known to dabble with sculpture here and there.

I don't think I could ever be satisfied with a single creative outlet. I love the varied and diverse opportunities each medium allows me to explore.

What artistic mediums are you drawn to?

Covid 19 has put a damper on face and body painting for who knows how long. In the meantime I've started making cute kitchen magnets. :)
