There is NO Art Police

April 21, 2025

I know what it’s like to stare at a blank canvas—or a blank journal page—and feel completely stuck. Frozen. Like somehow you’ve forgotten how to be creative, even though your heart and mind is bursting with ideas. Sound familiar?

You’ve got the paints. The papers. The washi tape collection that could probably earn its own zip code. But then you sit down… and all you can think is:

“What if it doesn’t turn out the way I see it in my head?”
“What if I mess it up?”

“What if I waste my supplies?”
“What if I’m not really an artist after all?”

Ugh. That inner critic? Yeah, I’ve had words with her. I’ve learned she’s loudest right before something amazing happens. We can be our own worst enemies.

Here’s the truth: the magic of creating—whether it’s painting bold blooms in acrylics or collaging vintage bits into your junk journal—doesn’t come from creating in someone else’s lines. Although that does help and it is why all my art kits come with a pre-traed surface!!!!! Creativity comes from you and I provide some tools.

It’s your brushstrokes that matter. Your style. Your quirks. Your colors that make zero sense on the color wheel but somehow make your heart do a little happy dance. That’s the kind of art that brings joy, not just to you, but to anyone lucky enough to see it.

That’s exactly why I created my Youtube Channel, Teresa's Spot for Art. It’s not just about painting flowers—it’s about growing into your confidence.

This is for the creative heart who’s ready to break free from hesitation. For the woman who’s done letting fear boss her around. For the one who’s finally saying, “What if I just go for it?”

My videos guide you through painting flowers, birds, butterflies, and beaches in your own fearless, messy, colorful way. Easy Tracers. No Art police. Just step-by-step guidance that invites you to show up as you are—because that’s more than enough.

And the best part? These designs can live anywhere:
🎨 On your canvas
📓 In your junk journal
🖋️ Across your art journal pages
✨ Even tucked into happy mail or pinned to your vision board as a reminder: You are wildly creative and wonderfully capable.

So if you’ve been waiting for a sign to start that project, use that fancy paint, or rip that “too pretty to tear” paper—this is it.

You don’t need permission to create something beautiful.
You just need a little spark—and maybe a Teresa-style pep talk or two.
