The Raw & Messy Sessions
Where Messy Minds Meet.
These Raw and Messy sessions aren’t tutorials. They’re not polished. There’s no voice-over explaining every step. Just me, showing up with paint-stained fingers and all, and doing ‘the work’.
I started filming these videos for people like me. People who need a little nudge to get started. Who don’t always want to create alone. Who find comfort in watching someone else just… begin.
Raw and Messy Sessions are about being in the messy middle. The place where your desk’s a disaster, your mind’s all over the place, and nothing feels finished, but you keep going anyway.
You don’t need to follow along. You don’t need to know what you’re doing.
You just need to sit down, grab your art journal, junk journal or sketchbook, and make something. Anything.
So press play. Let’s get messy, together.
On Sisterhood, Self-Expression and Random Thoughts - Raw and Messy Sessions - Studio Bloknote
These videos are not tutorials, lessons, or carefully planned talks. They are simply moments where I sit down with my art journal, make something, ...and let my thoughts wander wherever they want to go.
In this session I found myself thinking about sisterhood, women supporting women, why we can be so hard on each other, and how much better the world might be if we spent a little less time tearing each other down and a little more time lifting each other up.
Somewhere in between paint, coloring, random thoughts, and a birthday / graduation interruption from my daughter, this conversation happened.
Thanks for spending some time with me.
