I have been feeling a little more drained, a little more blue recently. My intuition says to rest.....forever, but I also know I want to love and nurture my community. I am thinking about bringing back SIP and SPARK in a different capacity or at least playing around with the ideas that YOU want, not just what I think you might want. lol I am being really honest here that I need some help to keep the flame lit. Attached are some of my recent pieces as a reflect it looks like my mind is really looking for space and answers. I'd love to see some of your art, whatever that is. What do your recent creative pieces say to you?

Fear…is normal. Creativity is magic. I have been thinking a lot about my own fears with creativity, how to be visible, to be authentic and share my ideas without fear. So I did some research, can I overcome fear? I’ve been taking a lot of time making sure my body is regulated, safe and “ready” to create. Sometimes, I need to just start, before I’m 100%. I have been playing around with how I can share my findings and if they resonate with others. Let me know what you fear…

I have attached today's recording enjoy! And a PDF, I hope everyone is having a great day! VOTE BELOW Here is a little poll on what the next workshop will be.

I'm Laura - an Australian artist living in Thailand with my husband and fur baby Jasper. I always dreamt of living close to the beach and now I do! I enjoy drinking strong coffee - picked this up from travelling through Vietnam... I am also fond of a cup of tea, some of my favs at the moment are: Earl Grey, Jasmine Green and the occasional matcha or Thai lemon ice tea. I really love chatting with other artists and creatives I think they live the most interesting lives! It seems like the space for that here. In a more official capacity I am a holistic integrated creative art therapist and creative coach. I recently run a women's retreat in Vietnam that was so heartwarming and soul nourishing.

Here is a recent work I did using my favourite crayons. Caran d'ache Neocolor - anyone else have these too? What started out as red loops over the page ended up in dynamic scribbles. I definitely scribbles my worries away and got lost in this moment.
