I love being outside and opening my eyes to the small and big miracles around us. For me as an artist observing is often followed by creating. Drawing nature for me is like writing the answer to a love letter.
The awe and gratitude I feel when I connect myself with the earth through the creative process heals me. It calms my mind, makes me feel connected, loved and capable.
But in a busy day, distracted by social media, responsibilities and horror news we almost never take the time to do the thing that really would be a step towards healing us and the planet and just make us feel good.
That’s why I want to stop scrolling down my insta-feed and complain about the weather and the stress of being a mum. I will grab my pencils and paper and step outside.
I want to invite you to join me on this 4-week-long drawing journey outside. Let us bring sparkles of joy into our everyday life.
„Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.“
