A key skill of any creative is to be resourceful, especially when right now buying art materials may not be at the top of your list. Instead release your inner artist by using anything and everything you can find around the house to create truly unique pieces of art. You have full permission to play and experiment, it’s going to be fun!

This week I’m talking about how to use that gut intuition to help guide your intention. Too often we forge ahead with what we think we ‘should’ be doing but if you listen to your intuition and external signs it can be a powerful combination for more focused, heartfelt and authentic intentions.
