Welcome. I'm Michele Holden, a mixed-media artist exploring creativity, intuition, and authentic visual language through the practice of creating from the inside out.
Through art journaling, abstract mixed media, and reflective field notes, I explore what happens when we slow down, pay attention, and follow the threads that continue to call us.
Here you'll find reflections on:
• Authentic visual language
• Intuitive mixed media
• Following the thread
• Creative self-discovery
• Building meaningful bodies of work
• Creating from the inside out
I believe that authentic visual language doesn't emerge by constantly searching for new ideas. It emerges when we're willing to stay with a feeling, a place, or a thread long enough for its visual language to reveal itself.
This is a space for artists who long to create with more meaning, more intuition, and more trust.
One soulful layer at a time.
Welcome to the journey.

I haven't shared very much here in the Community tab, but I'm thinking I'd like to change that.
Sometimes there are little thoughts and discoveries happening in my studio that don't necessarily need a whole video.
I've been spending a lot of time thinking about our intuitive art process lately. How we begin to recognize the marks, colours, shapes and rhythms that keep returning in our work, often without realizing it.
And how much we can discover about ourselves when we give ourselves the space to look a little deeper.
I'm curious, do you ever return to older art journal pages and notice something you hadn't seen before?
I'd love to hear about it.

What if what you're searching for in your art is closer than you realize?
Your own visual language may already be beginning to emerge through the marks you make, the colours you're drawn to, and the choices you make intuitively.
Sometimes we just need to slow down, become curious, and give ourselves space to explore a little deeper.
I've created "A Taste of Inner Rhythm," four free creative Tasters introducing a different way of working through intuitive mark-making, rhythm, muted colour and collage.
Come explore with me.

In this latest Sunday video I am layering the collage papers into my art journal - letting each torn edge, colour, and mark guide me!
It’s a reminder that every piece we create has more to say when we slow down and listen.

These two mixed media abstracts are my current exploration with the same colour palette from the latest video. What are you exploring with lately and what would you like to see the most for 2025?

Using a simple colour palette can make creating so much easier!
