Meet Your guide, Amy
I work with people from all over the world – from folks who want a creative outlet for stress relief, to experienced artists who want to weave more intuition, mindfulness, and freedom into their work.
Tuning into the moment through your senses allows you to be mindfully present, enjoy the process of creating and experimenting, and let the inner critic relax. Let’s make some art together!
Draw Yourself Calm welcomes readers into the mindful practice of slow drawing with 25 beautiful patterns inspired by nature. This is a practical and effective book for increasing creativity while reducing stress.
“I’m loving this book. It’s beautifully designed and printed. The instruction is clear and I find it very accessible for me. Amy guides you along, opening up our ideas, gently questioning.”
