Screw Perfection.

It’s time to let go and make imperfect art.

The Fairy Artmother

I’m your South African born Fairy Artmother.

I have a secret desire to own three to six diabolically ugly dogs. My husband is the only thing standing in between me and dog happiness.

My art journaling adventure began as a way for me to get messy, ditch perfectionism, stay accountable, and consistently create art. But, magically, it transformed into something so much more than that too…

For the past decade I’ve been happily swishing and flicking my arty wand over at Get Messy Art as I help fellow creative humans just like you embrace the mess and magic of a fulfilling creative life.

Spoiler alert: It involves creating. Not thinking about creating. Not daydreaming about creating. But. Actually. Creating. And a whole lot of mess.
