Welcome to my painty table!
As a self-taught art journaler and mixed media artist, I know how terrifying the thought of a blank page and a box of paints can be. The fear of messing up the page, wasting perfectly good supplies on a piece of art that seems to be going nowhere, and being convinced that you simply cannot paint - I've been through it all!
I spent decades of my life believing that I couldn't draw a stick figure to save my life. I've beaten myself up for creating wonky flowers in a class that was all about creating.....wait for it.....imperfect florals! I've looked at my beginner attempts at creating art journal spreads and wanted to throw it away because it didn't look even remotely close to anything that I was trying to achieve.
But somehow, I stuck through it, and here I am - not only am I teaching art journaling workshops both online and offline, I've recently shown my work in a group art show!
If I can make it from frustrated wannabe artist to thriving artist, I know you can too. And I aim to help you do just that!
Hi, I'm Shinjini. I'm an artist, journal keeper, tarot reader, and seeker of soul. I believe that writing is medicine, art is therapeutic, and the tarot is a powerful tool for self-development. As an eternal seeker, I know that soulful inquiry and deep inner work combined with art is a portal to joy and healing that I wish everyone could experience.
Which is why I love to create mini art + soul ecourses that include inner work, curated guided meditations, journaling questions, and an art journal project from start to finish.
It is my deepest wish to support fellow creatives {and yes, we all are creative - even you, who thinks that drawing a straight line is a pre-requisite to creating art. It isn't!} discover the healing potential of art.
In this class, I will guide you through some powerful exercises to tap into your inner self or your intuition. We will spend some time understanding the importance of our self-talk and how powerful I AM statements can help us on our healing journey. I'll also share my favorite "hack" to make affirmations work for you.
Then, we will combine all of this soul work and bring it to the painty table, where we will create a beautiful, soulful portrait that embodies our I AM statements.
Are you in? Let's do this!
