Experiencing artist's block? What if there's a tool that can help you jump right into creative play without needing to think so much?
In this episode, Jenny introduces Amy Lynn Johnson, an artist who has always used art as a refuge from life's troubles. Drawing has always brought her joy and helped her escape negativity, which she eventually used to help other artists.
Amy battled negative self-talk and the limiting belief that art wasn't a viable career choice. However, she developed tools to overcome these hurdles. The "Letting Go Box" helps manage negativity, while the "Artist Oracle Deck" sparks creativity and intuition. She shares that by using these methods, she rediscovered the joy of art and wants to inspire others, especially those struggling with self-doubt, to embrace their artistic sides and find happiness in creating.
