How to Create an Art Nest to Keep Creativity Alive During Challenging Times

As a person that struggles with chronic illness I often find myself unable to get up into my studio. So over the years I have created and refined what I call my “Art Nest" to help me keep creating during challenging times. Creating an art nest can help you through periods of chronic illness, chronic pain, grief and overwhelm. I have also included some simple art journal exercises that you can do while creating in your very own Art Nest. If you do create your own art nest tag me on Instagram @linda.marcille.art. I would love to see your personalized version. I have linked all of the items that are currently available below so you can access them easily. Happy creating! 💕 The items I showed in this video are linked below. As an Amazon affiliate I make a very small commission on on qualifying purchases. This adds no additional cost to your purchase.
