Mastering

The Basics

 

Could we chat a second?

In the midst of juggling responsibilities, nurturing others, and managing busy schedules, it's easy to forget the importance of

self-care.

I understand that you often put others first, leaving your own creative needs unattended- as I lived this way for over 20 years!

 

I would like to encourage you to remember your third grade creative self and applaud you as you indulge in the art of self-nurturing, rediscovering your passions, and embracing the transformative power of creativity. I journeyed for many years without creativity as a young mom and mother of 4 --close together ---children. I eventually fell in love with painting again through watercolors and gouache.

 

But now??

 

Now I use a digital app (available only on iPad and iPhone) called Procreate ---because it is so versatile, houses every type of medium you can imagine, and I can take it with me anywhere!

Waiting for practice to end?

Whip out your iPad and practice creative self-care!

In the waiting room --escape into color and creativity and let the time tick by.

Kids are taking a nap?

At a friends house?

Why not create some stickers for your side hustle?

 

Why Procreate?

 

Procreate isn't just an app; it's a portal to a world of endless possibilities. Dive into the vibrant hues, explore countless brushes and mediums, and let your imagination soar.

 

Through Procreate, you can nurture your spirit with color, mediums, and digital artistry.

 

What's more, you can cultivate valuable skills that might just pave the way for your own creative business venture.

🌈 Meet Lisa:

The Storyteller of Self-Rediscovery

 

Dear Fellow Dreamers,

 

Are you a dedicated soul who has given everything to care for others, perhaps at the cost of neglecting your own dreams and self-care?

 

My journey may resonate with your own experiences. I am a wife and a mother of four, who dedicated myself to homeschooling my children and serving in the community through church and ministry. I also took on the role of caring for my aging parents, always putting everyone's needs above my own.

 

As a child, I delighted in crayons and colors, breathing life into my creations as I told their story visually. I set my artistic dreams aside during my college years, convinced that a career as an artist was beyond my reach. The characters, their stories and the worlds I had created were all put high on a shelf "for another day".

 

But here's the remarkable part of my story - it took 20 years for me to pick up those "crayons" again and rediscover the vibrant joy of creativity. In listening to my own desires, I unearthed a profound happiness in crafting illustrations. Today, I am a celebrated children's book illustrator, my work graces galleries and exhibitions worldwide and I collaborate with an agent to bring my creations to life through licensing.

 

I can recall the pivotal moment when I drew a line in the sand, deciding it was time to start crafting my own narrative, my own story.

 

I want to ask you a simple yet profound question: Is it time for you to invest in YOUR story?

 

📚My Invitation:

 

  • Unearth Your Passions: Join me on a journey of rediscovery, where you can unearth the passions that may have been buried for too long.

 

  • Prioritize Self-Care: Learn the art of balancing your needs and nurturing your dreams alongside your commitments to others.

 

  • Embrace Your Creative Spirit: Experience the joy of creativity and learn to express your unique voice through art and storytelling.

 

  • Share Your Story: Just like me, you too can create your story, as beautiful and unique as the stories you have helped create for those that you love.

 

This isn't just my story; it's an invitation to start crafting your very own narrative.

 

Join me and embark on a journey of self-discovery, creativity, and the pursuit of your dreams.

 

Ready to invest in YOUR story?

 

Take that first step today!

 

With love and endless possibilities,

Lisa - The Storyteller of Self-Rediscovery 🌟🎨
