Mental Health Awareness & NEW Art Video

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! In celebration of this cause, I dedicated my NEW "Story Time With..." YouTube video to this month's awareness.  "Field of Rest" is the art featured in this story and it tells my self care journey of rest and renewal. #permissiontorest

In 2016,  I painted "Field of Rest." It is one of my favorite art pieces and was so fun to paint. I love seeing the process pictures of how the art came about. I hope you will watch this video and share it with your loved ones. Check it out!

Also, this art is NOW available in my shop. I would love for you to have this in your home to remind you to rest and take care of yourself.

Mental health awareness is so personal for me. I have lived with various degrees of depression and anxiety over the years. Many resources have helped me and I am on a mission to help others with my experiences and art.

Here on Inspired Me 411, I have lots of helpful craft resources as well as mental health information. I hope you will find something inspiring for you and your family. Check out these two pages!
Mind & Body
Arts & Art Journaling
Also, for more information on Mental Health Awareness Month, see National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Link HERE

The pandemic has taken a toll on all of us in different ways and I will encourage you to be aware of your mental health needs. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you were inspired! Take care!

New Art Collection & Video

Today, I am thrilled to share with you my new art collection called "Inspired Blooms." These 16 painting were made this year, 2024. Last April, we attended a fantastic floral exhibit at South Coast Plaza Mall and I was so inspired. Shortly after this show, I sat down at my art table and starting creating my floral joys.  In this video you will see the Inspired Garden Girls, a portrait and 12 floral arrangements. Check out the video.  Video Link Here Painting these flowers these last four months has filled my heart with such comfort and joy. I hope these happy "Inspired Blooms" bring a smile to your face and peace to your heart like I experienced. Feel free to share this video with a friend, too. Let's spread the flower power! :)
