Permission to Paint Like The World Needs Your Art. Because It Does.

Making art and putting your work out there is an incredibly brave thing to do. Some days it’s exhilarating - you feel like the universe is cheering you on. Other days it’s like holding out your heart on a platter watching people just rush past.

On those tough days that inner critic loves to chime in with all its unhelpful feedback:

• “Who are you kidding? You’re no Picasso.”

• “What if nobody gets my art? Or worse, what if they get it and still don’t want it?”

• “Is all this painting really leading anywhere?”

What if you had the confidence to fully commit to your art?

What if, instead of second-guessing, you saw your work as the miraculous gift that it is? What if you created like you’re the only one in the world who can make your art - because you are?

Joy comes NOT from creating that perfect piece that gets all the likes, but from creating work that feels true to you.

It comes from trusting yourself enough to follow your art wherever it takes you, even if it’s uncomfortable. Especially then.

Hi, I’m Mary, and I’ve been failing art since that fateful preschool moment when my teacher looked at my painting and gave me the “aww, you’re still sweet” smile. Ever since then, I froze up anytime I was asked to do anything remotely artsy. Art just wasn’t my thing. No big deal.

And then I discovered abstract painting.

It happened by accident. I tried art journaling because I know art making is a great way to give my overused thinking brain a break.

By the way, I’m a therapist. I am trained in powerful experiential approaches backed up by the latest research in neuroscience. Over the years I’ve seen the remarkable results of these approaches, in my clients and in myself. So, if the research says art is helpful, I’m trying it.

To my utter surprise I actually liked making random marks - which of course weren’t random at all. They were my marks, marks that felt good to me, that said something about me. I knew this intuitively. And I haven’t looked back.

Today I know I’m an artist. Painting brings an incredible joy to my life.

As a healer I understand how precious this is. And I also understand how to sustain it.

It took me years to discover a way to take care of myself that is truly nurturing - something simple yet radically different from what I’d been told to try. Now, I’ve woven this practice into my life and my art, and I’m excited to share it with you.

I’ve made it my mission to help other artists build the confidence to follow their art (and life) wherever it wants to go.
