We have heard it all...
I'm so stressed from all the demands in my life? I just need some balance!
I'm so tired of everyone else getting the best of me and by the end of the day having nothing left that is just mine!
I'm constantly looking for that special escape that will fit into my schedule?
I have always wanted to dabble in creativity but just never know where to start!
We understand your frustrations and so much more!
Picking up a paintbrush is scary - especially when you feel you can't even draw a stick figure!
Trying to figure out where to start can be intimidating, and it's hard feeling like you're trying your best, but nothing is coming out the way you want it.
But what if you didn't have to paint completely on your own?
What if you could have access to tutorials, tips and tricks, a HUGE library of paintings, a leader who cares about you and your growth AND an amazing community of supportive people who are looking for the same things as you?
Your day-to-day life is hard, it's stressful, it's just plain busy! Especially right now.
We know you need an escape from the chaos and we want to be your creative outlet.
You've earned something just for you!
Artistically Mused is all about helping you regain your sense of self and escape from the demands of every day life!
We've helped thousands of people with no painting experience learn how to paint! They come to us saying they can't even draw a stick figure and leave with a painting they are proud of.
Mama Muse is here to give you the tools, skills and confidence to take your painting to the next level while learning in a fun and energetic environment. Not to mention you'll be surrounded by a fantastic, supportive community!
Take care of 'you' for a change and gain a better sense of balance and meaning through creativity! We are here to help you rediscover you!
A creative life is an amplified life. ~Elizabeth Gilbert
The Positive Benefits of Creativity
The Benefits of Creativity
Freedom: There is no right or wrong way to be creative. When we create, it gives us the opportunity to engage with the world without judging ourselves. To return to the feeling of freedom we may have experienced during childhood. Where we did not have to know or be an expert. It gives us permission to take risks, try new things, and strip away inhibitions in a healthy way.
Self-awareness and Expression: Become a better partner, parent, person... Creativity is the route to authenticity. As we create we begin to access our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. When we take the time and energy to develop our own ideas, we learn to understand, trust and respect our inner self, in turn enabling us to better express ourselves. You may be surprised at the resources, thoughts and impulses that you discover there.
Faith and confidence in our instincts: When we create, we may start to value our work, even if it is not published, displayed or presented to the public. We can learn to trust our instincts and gain confidence from expressing them. This confidence carries over into decisions we make in other areas of life.
Stress Relief: Being creative is meditative. Taking the time to use our hands, minds, and energy doing something we enjoy and that makes us happy is of highest importance in life. Creativity is fun, and doing anything that brings joy reduces our stress levels and improves our quality of life.
Problem solving: There isn't a manual to being an artist, and there isn't a manual for being alive. Obstacles and challenges throughout life are inevitable. However, when we make creativity a habit, we continue to learn new, resourceful ways of solving problems in our artwork, and in life.
