What does Art is Magic mean to you?

To me, Art is Magic is about transformation. It’s the ability to take something ordinary, just like paper, paint or ink, and turn it into something meaningful, something that speaks. It’s about how art allows us to see ourselves more clearly, how it offers a space for healing, joy, and self-discovery.

Art has the power to shift energy, to bring lightness to heavy moments, and to unlock something deep within us that words alone often can’t reach. It’s a beautiful language of intuition, emotion, and possibility.

Tell us about your journey to become an artist.

For a long time, I lost touch with my creativity. I moved abroad, took on stressful jobs, and focused on doing what I thought I should do. Writing was my creative outlet, but I didn’t realise how much I had abandoned the visual side of my creativity until I started experiencing burnout. That was a major turning point, and it led me back to painting, layering, playing with mixed media, and ultimately to art journaling.

I rediscovered how powerful creativity is, not just as a form of self-expression but as a tool for balance, mindfulness, and self-trust. That experience changed everything, and now my mission is to help other heart-centered people reconnect with their creativity in a way that feels joyful, freeing, and deeply nourishing.

What does your creative practice look like?

My creative practice is intuitive, layered, and rooted in exploration. I love working with mixed media, such as acrylics, collage, and inks because it allows me to embrace imperfection and play. I often work in short bursts, layering over time, allowing each page to evolve naturally. Some days, my practice is about bold marks and movement, and other days it’s slow and meditative, like writing affirmations into collage papers.

What matters most to me is consistency - showing up in small, sustainable ways rather than waiting for the “perfect” time. That’s what I teach, too - just 10 minutes is enough. Creativity doesn’t have to be overwhelming or time-consuming to be meaningful.

What do you wish you had known at the beginning of your creative journey?

I wish I had known that the process of creating is much more meaningful than the outcome. I also wish I had known that there’s no right way to be an artist, that creativity is deeply personal, and that my process and pace don’t have to look like anyone else’s. I spent a lot of time worrying about whether I was "doing it right," but now I know that art is about exploration, not perfection. Looking back I wish I had given myself more permission to play, to create just for the joy of it, and to trust that even the smallest creative moments add up to something meaningful.

Do you have a Creative Self-Care Practice?

Yes! For me, art truly is self-care. My creative self-care practice is all about showing up in ways that feel light and nourishing rather than forced. Sometimes that looks like art journaling with no pressure to “finish” anything. Other times, it’s just playing with materials, making collage papers, or layering color without an end goal. I also use creativity as a mindfulness practice, just taking slow, intentional moments to observe color, texture, and movement. And on days when I feel stuck, I remind myself that self-care isn’t about pushing, it’s about giving myself grace to pause and come back when I’m ready.
