EXPLORE - CONNECT - GROW
ART & INSPIRATION is your happy place with monthly collage & mixed media inspiration to spark your creativity and for connecting with like-minded people - so you can grow as artist no matter where you are now.
You are looking for inspiration to evolve your collage & mixed-media art? When facing the blank page you feel lost or empty of ideas?
You feel lonely in your art practice and wish you where part of a group
to talk and share your work with other artists to spark active discussions Sometimes you feel a bit stuck in ruts and don't know where go next with your art.
Sounds like me at the beginning of my art journey:
I collected all kinds of art supplies but didn't know where to start, staring at the blank page and was afraid of failure. Many times, I felt stuck in ruts.
What did I change?
I realized that I need to keep creating and exploring to overcome the feeling of stuckness and the fear of failure. This was the starting point for my artistic way.
Over the last years I learned the importance of playfulness and letting go in collage art, painting and other creative efforts. And just how magical shared inspiration can be and that a supportive community makes a monumental difference in the artistic journey. Because active, threaded discussions are exchanges that go beyond on-way comments.
Just a few lines to say that I think this is a wonderful idea! I admire your professionalism and your entrepreneur spirit!! I would love to be part of this club, although I never have time, I will do it and find the time! Watching your videos and path is a true inspiration!!
