✨🍁🌿 We are grateful for Toronto-based painter Sheryl Yang a.k.a. @sherylyang_art for sharing these affirming words for aspiring artists: “If you’re like me and haven’t had much formal training in art, don’t worry! It’s not so much the techniques that separate you from a great piece of art, but rather the idea that you “can’t draw”. Artistic expression is about the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that you’re able to convey to the viewer; techniques come second. Masterpieces come from children and those with no prior drawing experience all the time. As long as your painting can make the viewer think and feel, then it’s a great piece of art!” 💜💜 Check out her incredible range of paintings on her instagram, and her full interview on our website - link in bio 🙏🏾🙏🏾 #sherylyang #onemillionwildhearts #acrylic #gouache #painting #toronto #canada #uplifttogether #5womxnartists #badasswomxn #womxnwhocreate #womxncreators #womxnartists #artistsofinstagram (at Toronto, Ontario)

When we asked Natalia Schonowski aka @nschonowski what keeps her inspired as a fiber artist/creative, and Natalia said "Every day life keeps me inspired. It's hard to work on my art every day, especially since I became a mother. But I am inspired every day even if I don't produce every day. I know it may sound cliche, but once you become a parent you see things in a different light. Right now I'm inspired by how my daughter experiences things for the first time and how she finds joy in the simplest things (like pressing the elevator button). It forces me to view things in a different light. It makes me pay attention to my surroundings, how they look, the shapes, sounds, textures, smells, etc." 💕🌈⚡️🔥We love how vulnerable Natalia got with us about her work.
