Hi, I’m Carolyn, a joy-chasing, paint-splattering, rainbow-obsessed mixed media mischief-maker on a mission to connect to the creativity that we all had as kids. Let’s toss perfection out the window and replace it with a whole lot of creative freedom.
Whether I’m here getting painty on YouTube, designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, or guiding fellow creatives in my workshops, it’s all about saying “yes” to play, color, and breaking the so-called rules. Join the fun at acolorfuljourney.com because grown-ups deserve to play too!
Want more fun? Get signed up for my weekly newsletter filled with inspiration, creative encouragement and a new free download every week! bit.ly/1bVsMYI
