Flora Bowley

 

Imagine life as your canvas, but instead of having a clear plan that you stoically cling to, you let the art unfold and evolve as you go. When you start worrying and contracting in fear, wondering if this is it or if you are good enough, you remember, it is only paint- it is not life or death.

Flora Bowley artist, visionary and teacher, lets her brave intuitive painting style inform not only her art but her life as well – her art being the muscle building ground for a life less scripted.

And people love it.

Not only is Flora a successful artist in her own right, but she has found her purpose in leading thousands of women on their own brave intuitive journeys.

Flora also shares with us:
 
+ The gifts for everyone in asking for help
+ The courage of asking ” is this still working for me?”
+ How just like people, paintings need to go through something uncomfortable to have depth
+ Why being stuck is such a great sign – this is a beauty!!
+ Why it is okay and actually quite revolutionary to allow yourself to constantly change

Flora is living the dream, she is such an inspiration and one of my absolute heroes. I hope you love it.
