An 8 week program to light up your creativity and help you to reimagine your life as your own work of art
Journal with Word and Image
How do you view your everyday life?
I ask because if there’s one thing that I’m certain about, after many decades as an artist…
It’s that changes to our own awareness and observation practices can dramatically transform our experiences of the world.
We can hurry through life without ever really paying attention to it or pausing to drink things in.
→ Or we can tune in…
→ Observe more closely…
→ Feel more deeply…
And allow ourselves to see and take in our surroundings in a whole new way (that happens to involve more joy, love, inspiration, and playfulness!)
And when we do all that…
We can truly transform our lives into a work of art
(where we are the creators and courageous artists!)

Hi! Beth here.
This program was inspired by my own journaling practice, which has enriched the creation of all of my art.
It’s also led to me filling up 140 journals (and counting!) with details of the everyday beauty that I’ve encountered over the decades.
This is where I’ll be showing you how to keep your own “everyday discovery” journal, using drawings and writing, in such a way that you…
Deepen your creative skills
Feel inspired with new ideas
Spark your own imagination in unexpected (and even life-changing!) ways
All levels of students are welcome, and absolutely no previous artistic experience is necessary!
You just need to show up with a journal, your own creative thinking skills, and a few portable supplies.
Who is this for?
If you’ve ever found yourself in a situation where you…
Began a journal, only to abandon it after a month…
Couldn’t seem to find the time to pursue your own creative passions…
Felt unsure that you had “enough” to write or draw about…
Were afraid of making a mistake or felt creatively stuck…
This could be the perfect program for you.
Because, guess what?
I have experienced all of that!
(While also having three very energetic and darling little boys to take care of, and no studio to work in…!)
Despite these challenges, I was at a point in my life where I needed to create art.
So, I figured out how to work around my limited time, lack of focus, fear of mistakes and creative block, to become artistically active and inspired again.
This program will help you to do the same.
(Or maybe, it will just help you enrich your current artistic practice with new perspectives and depth!)
Creating a daily habit to “see with all your senses” and strengthen your connection to your inner, intuitive voice
Actualizing your creative thinking skills, while also honing your drawing and writing skills
Building a rich overview, like a bird’s eye view of your life, in handwritten words and drawings that you can come back to again and again for inspiration
Establishing a system and practice that you’ll be able to use whenever you want to light up your creativity and ground yourself in the evocative presence of the world around you
When you sign up for Journal with Word and Image, you can look forward to…
