Over the past six years, I’ve discovered expression through paint. There are times when it’s just too hard to articulate a feeling or capture a thought with words. There are times when we don’t even know how to pin down the things we’re wrestling with internally. Messing around with paints has been a way to help do that. Even if you don’t think you have a creative side, please keep reading. Maybe something will resonate for you.
Art Journaling Experience
Coloring inside the lines can be very safe…and constraining. What would happen if you started laying down layers of paint and let it go where it wanted, let it bloom into something unpredictable?
Art journaling allows us to explore feelings and ideas through color and texture. When focused on a Scripture passage, time-tested text, or poems from respected cloistered mystics, it can become a prayer language through which we can be swept up into greater communion with God and with our own internal wisdom.
Does this sound overwhelming? It’s really not. It’s something that may already be laying dormant in your spirit. Art journaling can open up a whole new world of creative expression and connection.
I’d love to share that discovery and journey with you. I’ve led both large and small group experiences, and many different ages, so if you’re interested in talking more, or if you’d like me to guide you and a group through an art journaling experience, it would be my great joy to explore this with you.

Art Prints
If you like the look of something I’ve made and would like it as a high quality, affordable Giclee print, you can venture on over to Society 6, where there is a small selection of prints. There are different sizes to choose from and even an option to frame a print. Not everything from my Instragram feed or my website, but you should have some good options, and if you don’t see what you’re looking for, we can work it out together. Here’s that link: https://society6.com/tclarson and thanks for your support!
