Simple mark making in an art journal has so many health benefits, it is hard to wrap my brain around all of it, so I asked Chat GPT . . . and now I'm even more convinced that mixed media art journaling is one of the best things I can do for my health.

If there is one thing that I have learned over the past 5 or more years about mixed media art journaling it is this: I need to totally let go of the outcome and simply embrace the process and the materials and the having fun making a mess!!!

Watch as I paint a Watercolor Folk Art pattern in my art journal as I review my history with anxiety throughout my adult life.

Watch as I flip through completed art journals and watercolor sketchbooks.
