Altered Books - Mapping My Hearts Journey

Years ago Sarah Oblinger turned me on to altered books. Basically an altered book is well, a used book that you alter with art. I love the idea of rescuing a forgotten/discarded book at a thrift store and breathing new life into it - life that is uniquely mine that turns an orphaned book into a treasure map of who I am becoming. To be sure, the parallel of a discarded book and the pieces of me that I have "discarded" for much of my life, is not lost here.

Last year I was reintroduced into the world of the altered book when I joined Sarah's Homegirl Walkabout and now I can't get enough. Working in the book drops me down into my heart space where I create deeply and spontaneously with paint, collage, words, glitter and markers. My book is a safe and sacred container that holds my entire world in its pages.

As I continue to work in this way with process painting and in altered books, I feel the previously neglected and discarded pieces of myself coming home. Process art feels like a call out to those orphaned pieces, announcing a place has been created for them and it's safe to return.

I look forward to sharing this way of creating with folks in my home studio, on-site workshops and in conjunction with process painting. If this way of creating has intrigued you, take a peek at Nectar's workshop schedule for the options we have and will continue to add throughout the year!

Frequency Minis - Small Art With A Big Heart

Something magical happened in the studio the other day! I was intuitively guided to create on pieces of small cardstock (4.25in x 5.5in) much in the same way I would on canvas or a prayer card with the exception that they would have even more intention behind them. I was intrigued and immediately started the process. It's safe to say within a few minutes, I was OBSESSED! These pieces are created for anyone who feels called to them and are charged with words and symbols, before water and color are added. Created in small batches and intuitively chosen, you'll receive the one that is meant for you in that moment. Although the themes may change, I was currently inspired to create the following: Ease, Self Love and Empowerment Peace Love Joy Love Flow Self Knowledge and Truth Grabbing one for you or someone you love is easy. Each mini is signed and one of a kind and priced at $25 - this includes shipping. Simply click on the button, pay the amount and you will receive an ema

Creating From The Inside Out

Hello and welcome! I'm Stephanie and I am a Creative Transformation Guide and an intuitive frequency artist .. I have spent almost 3 decades practicing process art and I am passionate about using the creative process as a way to unlock my inner wisdom, power and peace. I am equally passionate about facilitating this process in others so that they may live a more conscious and connected life, from the inside out. I believe now more than ever as we navigate many global (and personal) paradigm shifts, that our creativity is vital and can be used as a tool to tap into our most authentic/Divine self. Every single one of us is born with a creative spark nestled within. That doesn't mean we will all be artists selling our creations in galleries or writing novels. What is does mean is we ALL have the capability to create. WE ARE CREATORS AND ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN WE KNOW. Something happens when we decide to create just for the sake of creating. Because there is no pressure to m

Internal Guidance - Feeling Into The New Paradigm

I feel like I’ve just finished a very intense and in depth master class. If the course had a title it would probably be something like, “Adapting To The New Paradigm - Reading Your Energy To Know What’s Working” . It’s been a totally immersive, 8 week lesson that started with looking at how much money my husband and I have and allowing the number to freak us the fuck out. So much so, that the only alternative we felt we had was to sell our home. The minute we decided this, it felt unbelievably sad and we both experienced a huge amount of grief around the idea of letting this “family member” go. After we worked through the grief, we set about engaging in a string of contract signing with several companies and individuals who wanted to buy our house. It was excruciating and confusing to watch each deal that we'd make, magically dissolve into big piles of steamy horse excrement. All the while, each step we took was bizarrely out of sync with our normal way of being in the world. O
