Season of the Journal

Your journal is a container for who you are. Sometimes you pour out of yourself onto the page fully formed. Sometimes you sprinkle out in pieces. The journal is a home for who we were, who we are, and who we are yet to be.

This season you’ll hear of the role the journal plays in the lives of three different artists - Vanessa, Claudette, and Caylee. The container, the cabinet of curiosities, and the self portrait.

The Journal as Self-Portrait

Vanessa Oliver-Lloyd

Vanessa is a Canadian artist who lives abroad. This has lead her to explore art as a way of connecting and engaging with the world. She loves to share what she learns in classes that speak directly from the heart.

Caylee Grey

Hyperbolic journaler and imperfect artist, Caylee Grey is also a wife and mother from South Africa. Caylee is the Fairy Artmother of the Get Messy art journal community, book, and art supplies brand. She has sworn an oath to embrace the messy middle and believes that more than zero is enough.

Claudette Hasenjager

Claudette Hasenjager is a mixed-media artist living in sunny South Africa. She firmly believes that art has the power to heal and nurture the soul. Her art reflects the many facets of her inner landscape and gives expression to her multi-passionate personality. It is this deep calling from within that has fueled her passion for exploring various forms of creative expression. Through her art and her creative process, she strives to inspire others to heed the call of their own unique creative yearning, free their artist soul, and find comfort and healing through developing their own art practice.
