Have you ever wanted to do a painting but stopped yourself from pursuing it because in your eyes you are not “artistic enough”? Well you are not alone.

Many of us have learned to doubt our abilities and ourselves. Instead of listening to our own intuition we listen to the endless messages outside our selves which define for us what “real” art is. The definitions that somehow we don’t fit into.

The funny thing is, if you ask most professional artists what they thought of art making for the masses, they would likely give you a whole hearted thumbs up. Creating art is for everyone. I repeat, EVERYONE. Everyone can paint and express him or herself through art. The key is trust, trust in one’s self.

Those voices of the past, of your inner critics, will stifle your creativity if you let them. It’s time to face them and tell them to listen to you. You can paint if you want to.

Say it with me “I can paint if I want to!”

Each and every one of us has an artist within who can come out if we just allow. Permission is key. Once that inner artist is out there is no stopping her! Give her the space and tools and she will create. Give her the right messages and support and she will flourish.

You have permission. I know that it is often easier said than done. Sometimes it can be hard to hear your heart over those loud inner voices of self-doubt. I created my new e-course, Painting with Your Muse to help those who are feeling stuck. I offer it as a way to guide you back to your creative power, and inner wisdom.

In Painting With Your Muse the e-course, you will revive you inner muse with:

• 4 weeks of support and guidance

• Weekly videos

• eBooks (packed with inspiration and expressive arts exercises)

• 4 separate guided imagery meditations

Plus you will have access to a live chat and a private forum to share and learn from other creative muses.

This e-course is not about painting technique, it’s about re-learning how to trust your creative intuition. I share with you what I have learned and un-learned both as one who has struggled to claim the name “artist” and as an Art Therapist. As an Art Therapist with over 18 years of experience guiding others back to their inner wisdom through art, I know how powerful it can be to reunite with your muse. I know how hard it can be to make that connection without support. So I offer you my Painting With Your Muse e-course.

You have permission, now all you need is to listen to it.
