I Went on a Painting Retreat… and Had a Breakthrough

Video Description

This week. I went on a painting retreat. The setting was stunning, the company inspiring (and sometimes exhausting!), and the creative energy intense. But somewhere between the quiet moments alone, a conversation with an energy healer, and a few unexpected lessons about limitation… something shifted. This video is about that shift — the breakthrough that changed how I paint. I finally understood how all the layers, traces, and memories in my work connect — and how to trust the process again. Join me in this episode of The Artist’s Diary as I share what I learned, how the retreat unfolded, and what’s next for my art now that I’m back in the studio. 🎨 The Artist’s Diary is my ongoing vlog series about life as an artist in the north of England — the ups, the doubts, the breakthroughs, and the beauty of the process.
