Welcome - I'm so glad you are here!
I’m Andrea Garvey – artist, teacher, encourager, and believer in our creative superpower.
My mission throughout this art journey is to encourage and gently guide as many people as I can through the processes and layers of making art while tapping into the energy of creating joy.
Looking for a creative boost? Try one of my classes!
I really believe we are ALL creative in some way. I think it's our superpower, our special cape we wear, and wow has it helped me throughout the years. One of my missions in all the art courses I teach is to encourage and gently guide you through the processes and layers of creating beautiful art.
There are no strict rules, it's mostly about exploring and playing, trying new things, and pushing boundaries so we can grow as creatives. I teach everything I know - an open book that loves to share!
Just getting started? How about a class on me!
I take art classes to either get me out of a creative rut, learn a new technique, or just get inspired by someone else's artistic ideas. I have a few super fun, free classes in hopes of getting other people to dust off that superpower cape (tucked in with all those art supplies!) and see how a little art can ignite that magic spark. Trust me on this one, it always works!

Want to be a part of a great art community?
Live chats, inspiration, and encouragement
from my home to yours.
Building my Facebook Creative Community in the summer of 2020 was one of the silver linings of that year for me. This group started with a handful of people in the beginning (thank you to my mom and her friends for showing up!), I fumbled around with equipment to do daily live demos, and we inspired each other through a rough patch for many people.
This amazing creative community now has over 3400 members! I still host Lives (weekly), and anyone can share their art and get inspired on a daily basis. The group is private (yay for no trolling!), but creative minds are always welcome to join.
