YOODLE DOODLE by D. Looyean

Hi, I am Looyean. I have never been formally trained as as artist. I come from a corporate background, which can be stressful and demanding. At times, I felt overwhelmed by the stress and I realized that it was due to my inability to express what I feel; I am not an expressive person and words do not come easily to me.

  

It was during a coaching session that I discovered that I could express my feelings through drawing. At about that time too I chanced upon an article about Art Journaling and started experimenting with the techniques. It turned out to be the very tool I needed to help me manage stress and for self expression. 

​

The one to two hours I spend tuning into my self, allows me to travel to new places within, discovering my inner world and different facets of myself that I was not aware of. Art journaling has taught me to be present, patient and to connect deeply with my feelings. Every piece of painting has a special meaning to me. Each painting has helped me understand my feelings and emotions better during the stages of my personal journey.
