INTRODUCING CAROLYN MACKIN OF @CAROLYNMACKIN

Carolyn Mackin is an intuitive artist living in Wellesley, Massachusetts just outside of Boston. She is drawn to cities filled with possibilities. The vibrant energy, white lights, patterns, and energy are all a wellspring from which she derives insight to guide her in her intuitive process of painting layer after layer of life and experience. The surrender to painting feels much like yoga or meditation practice to Carolyn.


“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”

-Albert Einstein

TAKE A LOOK AT CAROLYN’S PROCESS

Carolyn’s artwork is about embracing and celebrating life and living with intention and passion. Her abstract, multi-layered paintings reflect her journey through life, which Carolyn sees as a fantastic adventure. Inspired by traveling, city life, white light, and intimate connections, she creates mixed media paintings through an intuitive process of layering acrylic and oil paint, oil pastels, paint pens, graphite, and paper. When she paints, she often enters a meditative state that allows her to open her mind and create from a place of curiosity.

YOUR TURN: ENGAGE YOUR HEART

Here are Carolyn’s tips for tuning into your own intuition:

  1. Stop asking other people what you should do with your life and learn to trust your own gut.

  2. Start painting without a plan. Keep painting until you love the painting.

  3. Do any physical activity that gets you breathing deeply. I love yoga for this and o􀅌en start my

    day with it.

  4. Check out Jess Lively’s website and classes about intuition.

  5. Meditate. Try the Insight Timer app or Oprah and Deepak’s 21 Day Meditation series.

  6. Listen to Abraham Hicks’ book on Audible called ‘The Law of Attraction’

  7. Listen to music while you paint. Try yogic chanting music.

  8. Connect with nature. Walking around town and gazing at the night sky can be very inspiring.

  9. Listen to podcasts while you paint. A couple of her recommendations are ‘The Lively Show’ and ‘One Woman Tribe’.

  10. Follow your impulses towards what feels like the best feeling action in each moment.
