Learn to trust your instincts, silence self-doubt, and paint with true confidence.
I have spent many years lovingly putting this book together from my own experiences as a teacher and artist.
I found the most difficult thing for my students to do was leave their inner critic at the door when they came for a painting lesson and give themselves a few hours free from self-criticism.
I became aware that so many of us are holding ourselves back from the potential growth in our work because we listen to the critical thoughts in our heads, which have so often been inserted by unthoughtful or ignorant comments from others. This can often create perfectionism that, ironically, holds us back.
I hope this book helps you, through our shared awareness, come to a more appreciative and constructive, even fun and playful, approach to painting.

- Build Confidence: Trusting yourself to create freely strengthens your confidence, which directly impacts your ability to take creative risks and produce compelling art.

“Going through your book again it is difficult to put into words just how much knowledge and guidance your book offers. In a short sentence I would say “A beautifully presented book filled with words of wisdom”.
Rosemary Reed
“I thoroughly enjoyed this insightful representation of the intersection of artistic practice and psychology. The author addresses the eventual silencing of one’s ever-present inner critic through techniques such as mindful awareness and identification of negative thought patterns. She believes that with a willingness to change one’s thinking, and embrace one’s artistic ideas, self-acceptance can ultimately be achieved. I especially related to the author’s encouraging words regarding moving past the fear of failure, practicing compassionate self-care and letting go of self-doubt, in order to create one’s best art. This e-book is an inspiring and thought-provoking read for all artists.”

“Your book is excellent. Almost two books in one. The presentation is unique and so well done. I felt the text came from the depths of your being and I loved the way you connected it with your collection of beautiful paintings which is like a second book.” Marlene Frances
