Extraordinary Thoughts

I know what a blocker perfectionism can be.

It’s just paper. If you don’t like it, paint over it!

It’s always been a process of layering things on and finding out where we’re headed along the way.

TC Larson

TC is in her early 40s and lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her favorite part of art journaling is following a feeling or idea and seeing where it leads on a page. The worst part of art journaling for TC is getting to a point when she’s frustrated because things aren’t coming together. Her favorite dinosaur is the Stegosaurus.
