Crystal Marie, Deeper now on Substack
Many an artist’s bio begins with a similar tale of knowing they were an artist from the time they were old enough to hold a crayon. The truth for me was that I had always been a writer.

Let Your Heart Speak
Let Your Heart Speak is a sweeping saga of creativity, bringing together three very distinct techniques – monoprinting, collage making, and encaustic wax painting.
Utilizing my process of deeply listening and trusting what the heart wants to gather, the story it wants to tell, and the memories it longs to make, this course is equal parts Intuitive and technique driven, you'll learn how to trust yourself to make beautiful works of art with limitless possibilities from these three mediums.
Nushu: The Secret Language of Women
Literally interpreted as "Women's writing", Nushu is a language of sisterhood, sorrow, and dreams, created and used exclusively by women.
Nushu women shared their most intimate longings in written form and song. Born of a time of oppression, the calligraphy like stroke of each syllable created an indelible record of their most intimate emotions and laments on such items as scrolls, books, quilts, and fans.
In this course, participants will create their own visual secret language through intuitive mark-making, staining, rusting, deconstruction, stitching, and repair. Final project will bind individual compositions together into a beautiful scroll or altered book.

Creative minds want to know!
My go-to favorite adhesive is a blend of two products that I mix to get the just right consistency I appreciate from my glue. Get a free downloadable copy of the recipe and give it a try!
