Big Move.....Big New Adventures

First Exhibition in Sweden

Big things have happened the past months.
The biggest change has been our move from Spain very recently!
My husband could get a job and we decided to move back to Sweden. We now live in South-Sweden again, a little more south than where we lived before. We now live in a part called Småland.

The first thing I did when we made this decision was looking for exhibitions in the area. And so I found this exhibition in the weekend of 15 - 16 April in Gislaved and Gnosjö municipality.
​It felt like a good start to get to know more artists in the area where we are living and also a great way to show my art here in Sweden locally.

I found a new love...creatively

To be Consistent or not.....

I've always known that I love a lot of different things creative. But I've also always read that it isn't good to do different things, you have to be consistent to build up a community/art-tribe or following, whatever you like to call it.

I decided I couldn't be consistent

A long time I tried and tried, but a while ago I gave up trying to be consistent and stick to one kind of art or craft.
I got tired of not doing all I love.
And it stopped me from trying new things, it blocked my creativity.
And that was what made me start with learning new skills.

How to get my creative head organised; my top 5 list

8/12/2021

Maybe you recognise this too; a head full of ideas, so many, you do not know where to start. 
​In my head it can get busy with all the creative ideas and plans I have.

It sometimes is hard to know which direction to take, what feels good, what is smart to start with, what is doable, etcetera etcetera. As a creative I think it can get pretty chaotic in your brain.

Or is it just me??
​

I wanted to try to make it a bit easier for me, for you, for everybody that every now and than has a scattered brain!
​And so 
I have made a list with ideas on how to get my creative head a bit more organised. If you have tips that are not in my list, please let me know in the comments!

How to connect to yourself again through art

When I felt disconnected from myself, couldn’t process my feelings, I turned to painting.
It literally has changed my life, it opened up so many ways to express myself, it helped me grief, (read more about me starting to paint after losing my father here). It taught me to connect to "me" again, to tap into my intuition, but it also gave me a whole new world of understanding other people being like me.
​
Being a sensitive and introvert person doesn’t make it easy to express yourself. 
When you do not have or do not know a way to express all those feelings inside of you, things can be tough.
It feels like you are in a boat drifting away, further and further from yourself.
​At least, that's how it could feel for me.

5 inspiring artists if you want to start intuitive painting

Painting realistic

Many artists start to paint realistic, as that is the most obvious thing to do. You search for a nice picture on the internet, in a book or perhaps in a magazine. You may try to paint a spot in your garden. That is how I started painting. Read more about how I started here.

But quite soon I wanted to stop painting from pictures, it didn't feel like what I was supposed to paint. I wanted to paint without an example and not copying things. I didn't want to paint realistic anymore. I wanted to paint what I felt, to paint from inside is how I use to call it.
​But how do you stop painting realistic and do you start painting from inside,  intuitively?

From grieving to Creative guidance...

​Creating art with the purpose to heal is what I do.
My paintings are mostly abstract, always intuitive and colourful.
I have been doing this ever since I started painting. You might have read in my first blogpost here, that I started a little over two years after my father passed away.

Overcoming grief

I think his death was one of the most devastating things I’ve been going through, and for two years I was in a kind of pause. I couldn’t do it, I wasn’t able to digest that kind of grief. I just lived life and put the pain away like it wasn't there. Until after two years something happened, I started to notice that I felt so much better being around my father’s easel and his paints.
And so I finally decided I wanted to start painting and so my healing journey began.

Becoming an artist later in life....

Hi and welcome to my new blog,
​

My name is Marielle, I’m from the Netherlands.
Together with my husband I live in Spain. We have two children, a daughter and a son. Only since a few years can I say “I am an Artist” without doubting my own words.


Art as my healing.

I started painting in 2016, at the age of 44.
It was more than two years since my father had passed away.
Being around his painting supplies was comforting and slowly I felt the growing need to start painting like he had done.
Finally I began painting with his paints which I had inherited.
