The Art Witch Blog
I’m a mythical artist, photographer, designer, intuitive and all-around creative based in the Norwegian mountains and this is my blog.
This is where I share my creative expression and do my best to inspire, empower, share tips and information, and give the occasional kick in the butt so you can have a more fulfilling life. You’ll also find a lot of art, some behind the scenes and works in progress, as well as some strong opinions, and a swear word or two. If you enjoy the posts, please share them.

Boost your creativity and make your work juicier
How would you like to boost your creativity and get some new juice injected into your work? I want that for you. I know you would be a much happier person, a greater artist, and even more fun to be around if your creativity was fully juiced. I know I would like that...
Happy Constitution Day Norway!
Today is Norway's Constitution Day, and it's 200 years since it was signed. So the celebrations are a bit more elaborate this year as if they weren't big enough on a regular year ... I usually don't walk the whole route of the parade, because of my knees. And I hadn't...
Solitude
Here's a small painting of a lighthouse in the sea in acrylics on art board. It's an amulet art piece called Solitude for me-time. So it's perfect for you when you need a reminder to take some time to yourself. The sea in front of the lighthouse is structured, you can...
Be creative while walking the dog
This is no inspirational meme, not even close. But I hope it will inspire you to be creative. Today we went for a walk up to the waterworks with Bonzo. It's about 1/4 up the mountain we live on, maybe 500 meters above sea level. We live on 300 meters. The walk isn't...
Butterfly Garden
My daughter Lilith wanted me to make a painting with a butterfly, so I did. This painting called "Butterfly Garden" took longer than expected, because I ran into a couple of problems, and had to go back over some areas, but now it's finally finished. I didn't...

The winner of the painting giveaway has been chosen. You can watch the drawing here, to find out who it is. I will be contacting the winner tonight. Should this person not respond within a week, I'll draw a new name from the bowl.
The interrupted creative
Every time I sat down to write my Friday blog post yesterday, I got interrupted by someone or something. I bet you've had days like that (if not weeks or months). It's time to do something about it! What I intended to tell you about last night, was my new freebie "7...
7 reasons to be creative
I want to take some time to explain why I'm pushing creativity the way I am right now. Focusing on getting others to revive their creative spirit, instead of the other areas I've been exploring lately comes a lot easier to me. One of the...
Does it feel right? If not, change it.
Does your life feel right to you? Or is there something missing? Do you love: where you live the people you hang out with what you do for a living what you do in your spare time? If not, you have to find out what isn't right. Where is the piece that feels off? Once...
Disability and Creativity
Disability and creativity DO go together, in fact, creativity can be a huge help. If you've been hanging around for a while, you know I've been living with chronic pain for about 20 years. I don't let that stop me from being creative. In fact, it helps me deal with...
Some hump day inspiration for you
Here's some hump day inspiration for you, in case you need a little push. I've found this to be true in my life as well. Too bad it took so long, but that's probably how it is for most women.
Doodle Meditations With Allison Crow
Allison Crow has merged art and spirituality in her "Meditation and Manifestation with Markers" program. I had the opportunity to listen to one of her classes tonight, and it was great. I'm looking forward to the rest of the event. I did a short doodle meditation, and...
