In this slow, gentle studio video, I share how I use art journaling as a way to regulate my nervous system, process emotions, and create a sense of grounding when things feel unsteady. This isn’t about productivity, perfection, or “doing it right," it’s about care, ritual, and letting art hold what words sometimes can’t. You’ll see my real, intuitive art journaling process at the desk, including painting, writing, layering, and working through emotions in a calm, embodied way. I also talk about why art feels like a safe space for me right now, and how creative practice can support us during periods of change, stress, or anxiety. This video is for: • anxious creatives • sensitive souls • anyone feeling burnt out or overwhelmed • people looking for a softer way to self-regulate • those curious about art journaling for mental health You don’t need to be “good at art” to do this. You don’t need a plan. You just need a place to land. ✨ Mermaid Art Journaling & Patreon This month on Patreon I’m leaning fully into mermaids, art journaling, and slow creative rituals, including longer, more personal studio videos and guided creative prompts.
