Hello everyone!
So as I have mentioned in the previous post, I will be teaching on Life Book 2016 next year, yay! This has really been a dream come true.
And what is really exciting news is that I can give away 1 space on this amazing year long art course! Keep reading if you want to find out more about Life Book 2016 and if you want to find out how you can win a spot! 🙂
First let me tell you a bit more about Life Book in case you haven’t heard about it yet!
“Life Book, a celebration and honouring of YOU” is a year-long mixed media art class organised by Tamara Laporte from Willowing Arts.
Tam is joined by 23 incredible art teachers who are all gearing up to share their mixed media techniques, tips and tricks with YOU! Themed around self-development and healing, you’ll be creating several loose mixed media art journal pages per month which by the end of the year you will bind into a glorious journal (a Life Book)! You will have a wonderful keepsake that you can treasure for the rest of your life!
You can find out a lot more about this wildly popular course (it has been joined by over 8700 people in the past!) by clicking HERE .
I haven’t fully developed my class idea yet, but I’m excited to be sharing xyz technique/ theme/ style with you, much like you can see in this painting:
Registration opens on October 5th 2015 and the class begins on January 1st 2016.
So if you want to start the year with a fabulous creative BANG and spend 2016 with a wonderful creative community of like-minded souls, learning more about art and how to be kinder and more
loving towards yourself, be sure to join once registration opens! 🙂 Keep this page bookmarked so that you can sign up the moment it goes on sale! 🙂

I have been a huge fan of yours, and love you with the DLP which this has been the first Ive ever attempted with real journaling. I have learned so much. I am so hungry to learn more with mixed media, and all of the artists teaching here on Lifebook 2016 are exactly who I want to learn from. I need this in my life! It is the perfect therapy, outlet, and artistic prompting and education that I need. It’s something that I would purposefully schedule to keep me on task and productive with my own art, esp when life gets you so busy with work and family. I feel that I am finally at that point in my life where I can let my art take flight and this would get me to my liftoff!! Thank you for the chance!

Hello, Renata
How can I express myself to let you know what joy it would be to be able to take a workshop full of the most amazingly creative kindred-spirit artists, without saying it would be an unfolding journey of magical bliss and spiritual connection, to sooth and support not only my soul, but all those who would be on the same journey to connect with at this point in space and time. Well, there, I just expressed it. Words are almost not enough to express the intense visual journey which will present mind-boggling vistas through the depth of how the soul of each artist will create and share their own interpretation of their own life’s experiences. It will be a soul-searching and magical journey.
Thank you for this chance at a spot in Life Book 2016.
Blessings to you!
