Art Journal, Journaling Prompts Tammy Gilley 5/27/25 Art Journal, Journaling Prompts Tammy Gilley 5/27/25

The Language Of Layers

We don’t always tell our stories in straight lines.

I’m on a mission to:

Create nurturing, inspiring spaces where women connect with their creativity, honor their inner wisdom, and express their truth through art. Together, we celebrate this vibrant phase of life—not as a slowing down or a fading out, but as an exciting new season. This is our renaissance: a time to create boldly, share our stories, and craft a legacy with intention and joy.

Welcome to Artistry & Alchemy—where your voice is powerful, your art speaks with purpose, and the best chapters of your story are just beginning. Let’s embrace the magic of this creative journey and transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Let’s ignite your renaissance.

There comes a moment—quiet and unmistakable—when a woman realizes her story isn't behind her.

It’s unfolding still.
Layer by layer.
Brushstroke by brushstroke.

She begins to see her life not as something to edit or perfect, but as
She almost didn’t open the sketchbook that morning.

There were dishes in the sink, emails in her inbox, and a voice in her head whispering, What’s the point? But something softer stirred too—a quiet tug, a pulse of longing, a tiny

Big news — I’ve started a Substack!

It’s called Artistry & Alchemy, and it’s a quiet corner of the internet where I’ll be sharing soul-soaked essays, gentle creative prompts, and reflections on the magic of becoming
There’s a voice within you that’s grown steadier with time.

It doesn’t shout.
It doesn’t rush.
It speaks in the language of knowing—
the kind that comes from lived experience,
hard-earned clarity,

I used to think I had to get it right the first time.

The first career.
The first big creative idea.
The first version of who I thought I was supposed to be.

But life, as it turns out, is far more generous than that.

It lets us revise.
Reimagine.
This morning, I sat with my journal and watched the sky shift from indigo to gold — a quiet, radiant unfolding.
Even with everything weighing heavy in the world, the sun still rose.

There’s something sacred in that.
