Don’t let anything stop you from making art

Hi, I’m Cassandra—the joyful artist. I hope you enjoy this video where you’ll see me having a playdate. I’m celebrating the arrival of two new blank canvases and dancing with joy. I love to infuse my works, even when the materials have only just arrived, with love, joy and gratitude.

Sometimes, I don’t feel like making art, but then I’m reminded by people like Taylor Swift and other great artists, “Don’t let anything stop you from making art. Just make it!.”

I hope you enjoy this insight into my creative process. As always, I hope it is helpful to you. Please consider commenting, liking and subscribing to my Youtube channel

You’ll hear how I remove fear of a blank canvas and see how I feel my way into my paintings, prepare and activate the canvas, embrace possibilities and harness spontaneous joy to create my art.

This fun testimonial is a great reminder that when you show up for joy, you create joy for others too:

Have a joyful day – and don’t forget to play!

I’m Cassandra Gaisford—The Joyful Artist. I’m an award-winning artist, bestselling author and creativity coach. I love painting in the style of abstract expressionism inspired by nature. I create flowers and landscapes using acrylic paints, watercolours, encaustic, pastels and pencils (and other art-making tools). I am fortunate to live in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand.
