There is a topic I've been exploring in my art jou There is a topic I've been exploring in my art journal for seven years now. It hasn't been an easy topic to explore, but I knew that it was very much needed and I continued. I've wandered off the journey, wandered back to it. It hasn't looked remotely similar at each stage, but this constant returning is what has grown my heart. Over the years I've seen a very small handful of other creatives exploring the topic too. It's something that requires courage and vulnerability in equal measures. A layer of kindness, and another entire layer of brave when you share pieces of it. The topic is my (your) body. The first time the idea came to create a class for this, I immediately shut it down. I knew that this is powerful but creating a class about the human body would probably mean I'd have to share my own body in some form, and eeeeek. The idea didn't leave, though. As much as I tried to push it out, it stayed on through the years. Finally, back in 2021, Brave Caylee put it on the calendar for 2023. I'd have time to prepare, I'd have time to make sure my body was perfect. The universe laughed at my plans, and 2022 was the roughest year for my body yet. I went through a life-altering surgery, which has forever changed my body. Through this, I gave up on the Perfect Body and in doing so, I was able to find so much more. My body became a thing of awe, not because of what it looked like, but because of its own healing. The journey of exploring my own body as art had so much more meaning to it. And so I'm here, showing up in 2023, being reminded of the value in sharing in the messy middle. The beauty in the imperfect. My inner critic, the loud fear within me is yelling, but I'm ignoring them and letting you know that Body of Art is now open for enrollment through @getmessyartjournal .
I started officially Making Art™️ in 2014. Sin I started officially Making Art™️ in 2014. Since then, my keenness, my ability, my creative well levels, my amount of “free time”, have all waned. I “leave” art journaling, I let it simmer, I come back. It is the simple act of coming back that makes things worthwhile. The simple act of trying. This time I’m coming back simply. A small gesture. Letting the muse know I’m here if she’d like to hang out …
I still haven’t been creating anything I’m abl I still haven’t been creating anything I’m able to show but I have been creating my own happiness in the form of my dog in my studio. #griffingrey
