In this episode, we dive into a creative meditation designed to help you clear your mind and rediscover inspiration through doodling. We start with a grounding moment, notice the first thought that rises, and gently draw it — turning everyday tasks, holiday stress, or small joys into simple, expressive sketches.

This practice transforms your internal noise into something playful and visual, helping you reconnect with your creativity and shift how you see your daily experiences.

Whether you’re overwhelmed, burnt out, or just craving a mindful moment, this is the perfect pause. Take a breath, pick up your pen, and let your mind speak on paper. 💛

I would love to see what you've created. Feel free to tag me on Instagram @mind.over.mata or send an email to devyn@mindovermatastudio.com - Can't wait to hear from you!

In this Canvas & Conversations spotlight episode, I’m chatting with Renée — an artist whose creativity takes flight from her love of birds and nature walks.

Her journey began with colored pencil portraits of real species and has now evolved into a whimsical world of her own, filled with imaginative creatures that feel both magical and real.

We talk about creative growth, what inspires her, and how it’s okay to have off days — as long as you keep going.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s been like preparing for my first local art show — from creating a new series of 6x6 acrylic texture paintings to reflecting on what this opportunity means to me.

I talk about choosing creativity over perfection, slowing down before launching my YouTube channel, and how even the smallest pieces of art can hold the biggest emotion. This show also supports @secondwindco, an organization for youth suicide awareness and prevention.
