What is art journaling to you?

Art journaling/visual journaling is one of the ways I express my soul’s voice. My journals give me a place to freely explore and discover the parts of me that want to emerge, be heard, and heal.

What does community do for your art?

Community is one of the most important things I have in my art toolkit. Surrounding myself with other creatives is how I stay inspired, intentional, and in alignment with my purpose as an artist, poet, and creative soul.
