hi, I’m Ashleigh
made by an art therapist
I’m Ashleigh Gureckas, a professional art therapist in Canada and the founder of Discover Art Therapy.
I made a reel on instagram a few months ago where I rolled a dice to let change guide my art making. The intention was to release perfectionism, pressure and just play!
So I took that same idea, added over 900 prompts from my previous ebooks and offerings -- now you can "shuffle the deck" virtually and let my prompts light your creative spark.
I really think you'll love it!

your art supplies deserve your love
Enough of the inner critic stealing your creative joy. This prompt generator is designed for that moment before you make the first mark, when the critic is the loudest. It says things like “don’t waste your supplies” and “it’s not worth it.” None of that is true, and you need to practise play, unwind and loosening perfectionism. That’s exactly what these prompts are designed for.
Each prompt is only a few sentences long. There’s nothing to copy and no technique to master, and a few uneven marks on a page counts.

about the creative spark deck
This deck is a creative tool made by Ashleigh Gureckas, a professional art therapist in Canada. The prompts are designed for personal creative exploration and are not a substitute for art therapy, psychotherapy, mental health treatment, or individualized professional support. It does not provide assessment, diagnosis or treatment, it is not a treatment for perfectionism or any other concern, and it is not a crisis service.
If you are in crisis, please contact a crisis service or your local emergency number. In Canada you can call or text 9-8-8, and in the United States you can call or text 988. Experiences vary from person to person, and nothing on this page promises a particular result.
