All about the new brand for C Sheehan Art

Today I am sharing my new branding. I'm so excited about this important milestone on my journey to sharing my art professionally with you. I've been working with a wonderful designer who has taken one of my mandala designs and created a wonderful logo for me. The mandala theme is one I have worked with a lot and which has meaning for me. Circular art is for me reflective of the way life keeps shining a light on what is important to us, and reminds us to come back to the centre to be grounded in those priorities. 

My new tag line is "Art of the singing soul" which celebrates the way I love to create art and hope to live life. It can be easy to get sidetracked and stuck, especially when you've been through times of transition like becoming a mama (especially when you find out you're having two!) 
My art, and my business celebrates all that I love and the process of returning to what's important to me in this new stage of life as artist, mama, wife, daughter, friend. This is reflected in my logo which contains trees, to show the importance of nature in my life and my art, spirals, to represent the sacred and the work I do with mantras, mandalas and affirmations, and hearts, to represent love of family and friends.

Making room for what's important


Recently I've been feeling very "busy" in the soul, a sure sign for me that I have been overthinking things! I find when I get like this that I really need to slow thing down or it impact in all areas including my ability to sit down and enjoy my creative time. A feeling of rush detracts, for me, from my ability to create work that represents that lovely feeling when it's all going well. I'd been re-organising my art space a little anyway, and had the wonderful idea I may be able to make a meditation space within my art room to inspire me. I'd tried creating similar in other rooms in the house but always found that they got over run with bits and bobs (tidy is not my middle name, even before I had twins!). So I had a huge sort out, moved a bit of furniture, threw some things away, and now I have a lovely, inspirational space to sit in front of and slow it down. It's a good reminder to me to trust my instincts and how important that element of the spiritual, the everyday sacred, is for me. Here are a few more pictures of how it looks. Do you have a space like this at home?
