FROM THE AUTHOR

Why I wrote this book

I wrote Creative Wanderlust because I believe that making art should feel joyful, not intimidating. For years, I watched talented, curious people hold themselves back because they didn’t think they were “real” artists. This book is my invitation to start — wherever you are.

Every chapter is designed to give you permission to experiment, to play, and to trust your own instincts. You don’t need expensive supplies or a fancy studio. You just need a willingness to get your hands messy and see where it takes you.

“My hope is that this book becomes dog-eared, paint-splattered, and well-loved — a constant companion on your creative journey.”

“Once in a while I may come across a book that just hits all the right notes and this is one of them. It has so much inspiration for art journaling, but more than that, it comes with heart-felt experience from the author. Each page has colourful photos and ideas and is packed with the inspiration I needed to kick start me back into mixed media art.”
