Get Messy

Season of Heart

with Alyssa Griese

Every time that you art journal, you are releasing your heart onto the page. Sometimes it looks weird, sometimes it looks great, but it’s always your heart.

Allowing yourself to show your truest heart is one of the greatest gifts of art. It’s vulnerable work, but it’s magic. It’s messy, but it’s beautiful.
