There are so many bloggers out there, how can you choose just one who inspires you? Many different bloggers can be sources of learning and inspiration so why just limit yourself to one or two? Here are a list of the top four bloggers I gain inspiration from, what they do and how they can become some of your top sources of inspiration.

Amy Maricle – Mindful Art Studio

Amy is a self care art therapist and her website consists of encouraging and inspiring art classes and excercises for mindful art making. Her classes are super simple and oh so relaxing! It makes you feel like you’ve just been with a good friend having a cup of coffee. She specializes in patterns drawn with pens and watercolor as backgrounds. She often uses paper cutting in her work and teaches this technique as well. Nature is her inspiration she says and takes patterns and detail from the nature around her.

Learn to Quiet Your Heart

Amy really drives home the need to slow down in our busy lives and be more self aware. Her approach to creating patterns and paper cuttings are great ways to do this. We all know how fast our society goes every day all day. Many people never take time for reflection and simply listening to their own hearts. But quieting your heart is vital for happiness and hope to be able to thrive, because you start realizing what’s most important in life.

I encourage you to try out Amy’s approach to quieting your heart and learn to hear what it is saying.

I have been a member of her Facebook group for three years and she has continually inspired and encouraged me as well as so many others. If you need a pick me up, check Amy out at mindfulartstudio.com and on Facebook.

Danielle Krysa- The Jealous Curator

Danielle is an author and art critic who decided to have her own website where she showcases new and interesting artists and their works. She offers Art For Your Inbox which showcases the new artists she has discovered. Definitely inspirational and cool to see the new art each week.

Danielle has written several books on art and creativity. I will list them for you here below. Each book is targeted to help artists and creatives grow in their passion and realize they can push past mental and emotional roadblocks to become the artists and creatives they wish to be! Her book “How to Spot an Artist” is a great children’s book on encouragement for the inner artist inside each child.

She also produces an awesome podcast Art for Your Ear.

Learn to Let Go and Create!

With Danielle, you will learn how much beautiful artwork is out there for you to enjoy and just how creative people can be! Danielle is also encouraging when it comes to letting yourself be creative when you don’t feel you are. Many times in childhood creativity is stifled by some event or emotional hardship. People then end up believing they can’t create anymore. Danielle had a similar experience and you can really tell she is defying the odds with how she turned a lie into a beautiful and flourishing creative life.

Jonna Jinton- Sweden

Jonna is a Vlogger on YouTube as well as an artist and a blogger. Her beautiful way of capturing video of the Swedish lands and nature are so inspiring it makes you feel like you want to travel there! She is also a musician and sings an ethereal Swedish traditional singing style called Kulning. It’s so beautiful!

As an artist Jonna creates her own pigments from nature. She will grind up soil, ashes, and rock from the area around her home and she will create abstract paintings. They are some of the most gorgeous paintings I have ever seen! Jonna is a wonderful photographer as well and her photographs take you into a story of her own life and her little haven in the Swedish countryside. I love watching her to relax and get calm because she is so good at helping you feel this way!

Learn to Dream and Discover

Jonna will help you learn to quiet your heart too, but she will also teach you to pursue your dreams and adventures in life with abandon and letting yourself be free creatively. Jonna speaks about her struggles and that really creates both a beautiful and real viewpoint of everyday life.

You will find Jonna on YouTube, Instagram and on her blog artbyjonna.com.

Elna Cain- TwinsMommy Blog

Elna is a freelance writer, blogger and mom. Although not an artist with paintbrushes, she is a painter of words and loves to teach others to do the same. I have taken several courses from Elna on blogging, and freelance writing. She never ceases to inspire me with her knowledge and encouragement. She quickly helps you feel like you can master writing no matter what and with a practical viewpoint makes it very easy!

Elna is a mother of twins and loves helping other mothers with great expert advice and encouragement for many different mom life subjects. I highly recommend her blog Twins Mommy as she has some great content on motherhood and raising children, raising twins and much more!

Her freelance website is elnacain.com where she teaches others about freelancing and how to start up the process of writing. Her mom blog is twinsmommy.com.
