I’ve been exploring drawing faces in many different ways using different techniques. One of the artists I admire is Dina Wakley. I have a couple of her books on the topic of art journaling. I’ve never tried art journaling, which is crazy since I love art and I love journaling. For some reason, I always enjoyed the two separately. I discovered you can combine the two and it brings both to an entirely different level of yumminess. These are my first four attempts at creating art faces in a journal. I used a couple of my favorite painting journals and started by painting a background. Then, I drew the face before painting it. I finished it up by writing in the hair and on the face. It was liberating to let go of any rules, required techniques and just free-flow with freedom and a dash of courage to play. I call it a good start.

My entire life has been in the pursuit of what stirs my heart, daring to follow it and having the unstoppable conviction to achieve it. Purpose, passion and values aligned to create my path while audacity nudged my courage to help me excel at taking on big change to go after it.
I am here to help you find your way and learn how to confidently use your authentic voice, unlock your potential and courageously build a purposeful life you love!
