THE ARTIST

Aimee Irel

@aimeeirel

"I’m Aimee and I hope to share with you how I delve into self discovery by letting go and going deep into myself. Being an observer of the process and being open to any outcome leads to making true and personal art that speaks from your soul. I am so excited to create with you!

My approach to art is first and foremost about freedom. It’s about coming to your creativity practice with a spirit of wonder and expression that is expressive, wholehearted and true."

Aimee is a lifelong creative and maker. Finding solace and healing within the pages of her own journal she decided that sharing this most precious process with others was one of her greatest passions. She has hosted in person gatherings and workshops, taught online and built 2 beautiful and nurturing public studio spaces where people could come and explore mixed media art and community as a healing modality. A self professed “art cheerleader” she is gifted at making art accessible to all. Aimee believes Art is a sacred form of self expression and in its purest form it is your truest emotion and a most powerful act of self love.

"I am a gatherer. A creative. A lover. A beauty seeker. I think the act of expressing ourselves through making is one of the most powerful and important parts of being human. Art making is healing, grounding and expanding. It builds connection and truth. Let’s explore together this most beautiful gift."
