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.

Fast forwards, I’m still healing and probably will be forever. I love what painting does for me and what it has given me. Self worth, self love, so much growth has happened and will continue to happen.


In need of more know-how

After some time I felt I wanted to learn more, new things, new information.
I needed  new challenges.
There are so many interesting things to explore, to learn, to read and to see. 
Therefor I have been doing two courses in 2020, Therapeutic Art Life Coach and Reiki Master.

​Both because I wanted to do them, to learn for my own good. But having done them I also feel I want to share all I’ve learned and experienced.


It is very interesting to learn and grow and to know it helps me mentally to get stronger.
It gives me so much more knowledge which I can share when I will be guiding others. This idea of guiding others is a returning subject for me, a strong wish, you can certainly call it a dream.
I feel that this is one of the things I need to do: share, guide and inspire others.

Some time ago I gave away two free creative online guiding packages and working with the two ladies who won them was amazing.
It was inspiring for them (they told me) but equally as much inspiring for me.
​


Starting with the creative guidance sessions at that moment might have been too early in my learning process, I feel I wasn't completely ready mentally, anyhow it didn't really work out. But the good thing is: the dream is still there. And I feel that it will happen at the right time !!

​I am so grateful for my path so far and am feeling that this is the right way to go for me! 

Finding and learning intuitive painting back in 2016, it was so different from what I knew. So far away from that usual feeling that you need to control;
the colour scheme, the materials you use and not the least the outcome.
​

For me it was a great feeling when I realised one day that I could paint from within, without a picture, without an example from the internet. No more painting what others painted, but now I could paint like me!!

When you are used to paint realistic, painting intuitively is so different, so much more about YOU.
Your feelings, your mood, emotions of the day, you can all pour it into your painting. By using colours, by making marks, everything is done with an emotion.

​Positivity Preacher

I’m an introvert and a positivity preacher. I go after my feelings when I come into my studio. But that didn't happen over night. It took time, effort, practice and trust. Trust in yourself, you can do it, intuitive painting is for everyone, as long as you want it, it is there inside of you already!

I want you to experience what I have experienced; to heal, to grow mentally, to feel your confidence growing, daring to take steps you have never thought you could take. And all by painting uniquely like you. Like only you can!


If you would like to paint with me, let me know and we will figure out a way to make it happen!

Dankjewel Marina, wat fijn om te horen!
Ondanks dat ik nog een beetje zoek naar hoe ik het precies wil aanpakken, vind ik het super om alles van mij af te schrijven en te delen!
Hoop dat er nog veel blogs volgen hierna en uiteraard dat ze iemand kunnen inspireren of motiveren. Dankjewel voor het lezen!
