Season of Do It Scared

with Vanessa Oliver-Lloyd

Welcome to the Season of Do It Scared!⁠ ⁠

This month, Messy Artists are focusing on making art when you don't have it all figured out. ⁠ ⁠

⁠ ”An artistic endeavour comes into the world naked, unnamed, and vulnerable. Every creative effort requires the artist to wrest something from nothingness, a purposive cosmos from an apparently indifferent chaos” - Peter London ⁠⁠⁠

This month you'll be learning from⁠ Vanessa Oliver-Lloyd, Shawn Petite, and Mona Schreibt. ⁠⁠

✨️ Tried it, Hated/Loved it! with Vanessa: Failed attempts in art lead us to the best places because they invite us to work with what we have. ⁠⁠

✨️ Showing up with Shawn: Show up for yourself and soul filled play in your journal. No plan, no overthinking, no fear. ⁠⁠

✨️ Venturing with Mona: Use your art journal as a compass to navigate through confusion, self-doubt, and creative blocks. ⁠
