In Art For Self-Care, you’ll discover the healing power of making art, and you’ll learn how you can process feelings of stress, change, uncertainty, grief, and fear as you create.

I share stories from my life and my own art-making practice throughout the book, and it's, of course, filled with color and art!

The book is for artists and non-artists alike and has 3 different sections:

GOING INWARD offers guidance on how to get quiet, embrace the swirl of
emotions and nonlinear thoughts without editing or judging, and identify and tune in to one’s authentic inner voice, along with prompts for expressing those messages.

INSIDES OUT shares advice on mediums and techniques to try, finding inspiration, and incorporating personal symbols, and emphasizes the value of simply showing up, allowing for mistakes, and focusing on the process rather than on the finished
piece.

INTEGRATING AND HONORING reveals how to accept healing and honor one’s truth and make a commitment to engage in an intuitive art practice.

Strengthen your relationship with your inner voice and begin to 
change your life, one piece of art at a time. You're gonna love this book!

My Process

Every piece of art and every product that I make begins with an intention to connect with my intuition and with myself. Who am I today, and what do I need? Making art smooths out life’s rough edges and helps me make sense of all the complex feelings and experiences that are part of being human. Creating helps me find joy, acceptance, and gratitude. It is a balm for my soul, and I hope the things I make will feel like a balm for yours, too.

Whether it is a piece of wall art for your home that I created using paint, markers, and colored pencils, a deck of animal totem oracle cards, a bright, patterned iPhone case, or a hand-drawn greeting card — every single product that I sell is made with heart. Most products are made right here in my studio in Portland, OR.

My work is created both traditionally and digitally; my favorite materials and tools include acrylic paint, gouache, colored pencils, paint markers, wood panels, fabric, my computer, and my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. I also sometimes use fun things like glitter, resin, and sequins!

Arts for Self Care

This is a fun book packed with info and ideas. I am in my 70s so I have learned self care over the years. Art saved me thru many hard times. In reviewing this book I found myself agreeing with Jessica’s ideas and advice. The art is wonderful. I enjoyed it so much.
