Bec’s Studio Journal
Where Creativity Takes Shape
Welcome to My Studio Journal
A dedicated space for honest reflections on process, intuition, and the quiet spaces between finished pieces. Here, I share the deeper stories behind the canvas, the shifting seasons of a creative life, and the inspiration found when practicing the art of noticing.
Returning to Unfinished Artwork
The creative process is not linear. After sitting on the shelf for over 20 years, a seashell painting finally made its way back to my easel and taught me a vital lesson about releasing rigid expectations and reclaiming creative play.
The Life of a Depressed Artist
Sharing my struggles with depression and chronic illness, and how they affect my ability to be creative and make art. Recognizing how depression has shown up in my art over the years, while also acknowledging that it has stifled my creativity and process as well.
