(FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions about Mixed Media Journal Class
What are Mixed Media JOURNALING classes? – They are classes where artistic training isn’t necessary to have a fun, relaxing creative time. Journaling has no rules… it’s giving yourself the gift of time, accepting that you are ENOUGH just the way you are and finding your way back to your “Portal of Creativity”! It’s a way to express heart and soul emotions with personal stories of your life using colorful paint, mark making tools, and ALL the other cool, amazing art supplies I’ve collected for years.
What do you mean Portal of Creativitity? I believe the process of journaling is fun, meditative, therapeutic and healing.

You lose ALL sense of time when in that flow of creativity because you’re focused and engaged in what you are doing.
