# Amy Maricle
*Mindfulness Artist*

Amy Maricle is a passionate artist and the founder of Mindful Art Studio, where she shares her expertise in the therapeutic and transformative power of art. With a global reach, Amy works with individuals of all backgrounds, from those seeking stress relief through creative expression to seasoned artists aiming to infuse mindfulness and freedom into their work.Drawing from her training as an art therapist, Amy embraces a process-oriented approach to art creation. She encourages individuals to connect with the present moment through their senses, allowing them to mindfully engage in the act of creation, experiment freely, and quiet their inner critic. Remarkably, as attention shifts to the creative process, the quality of the final art product naturally improves.Amy's love for art journaling is at the heart of her creative journey. She views art journals as spaces where "anything goes," welcoming scribbles, doodles, emotions, messy paint, and carefully crafted drawings alike. Her own journals are expressive realms for experimentation, self-reflection, and creative exploration.Amy is a firm advocate for breaking free from the confines of perfectionism, believing that the pursuit of perfection stifles artistic expression. She encourages artists to let go of the notion of "perfect" and embrace the joy of imperfect, invigorating art. Her mission is to empower individuals to create a fulfilling and playful art practice that seamlessly integrates into their lives, bringing them both grounding and liberation through the world of art.Check out her website at www.mindfulartstudio.com or follow her on Instagram @amymaricle.
