Since I was young, journaling has been a source of comfort and self-expression. When I began making art, I discovered that combining words and images in an art journal was deeply healing. I enjoyed it, and it allowed me to express myself when words alone could not.

  • Art journaling offers a private space for expression—your art never needs to be shown or judged

  • No pressure: pages aren’t precious, you can freely explore

  • Helps you process emotions and find clarity when words aren’t enough

  • Nurtures creativity and intuition in a regular, gentle practice

  • Invites joy, play, and self-discovery into your everyday life

  • It is a space to test ideas for larger pieces

Why start an art journaling practice?

A flat lay of a collage with notes, a small branch with white flowers, and printed photos, including a window with curtains and a cozy room, arranged on a surface.

We will gather monthly, either on Wednesday evenings from 7 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. or Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

  • Guided creative time with prompts and inspiration.

  • Explore making art in a journal or create loose pages for a handmade journal.

  • Personal guidance and support from me throughout

  • All supplies provided—just bring yourself

  • Connect in community with like-minded women

  • Nurture your body, mind, and soul through creativity and connection

What to expect:

Women painting and sketching in an art studio decorated with framed artwork, with art supplies on the table.

  • Express Yourself!

    Art journaling is an accessible way for anyone to express themselves and make art!

    Join us in a supportive and welcoming space. Art Journaling workshops are a response to the growing epidemic of loneliness, anxiety, and disconnection (from ourselves and each other) by offering participants a chance to create and meaningfully connect with like-minded women.

    Whether experienced or new to art, this space allows you to explore, express, and feel supported.

    We will begin with 10 minutes of free writing. I will provide a prompt to get us started.

    This gets us into the right-brain, the creative part of our brains. We will then move on to creating intuitive mixed-media art. I will be your guide throughout the workshop. All art supplies are provided. If you’d like to bring an art journal, please do so.

    Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email with the venue address and my telephone number should you need to reach me.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at jenn@jennbestcreative.com

    I look forward to connecting and creating with you.
