Winter Sketchbook Week! Jan 19-23 Only $17. Sign Up here
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!
Fabulous art classes for everyone, no matter what level
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. My art style is spontaneous and intuitive, and through my courses, I will take you every step of the way so you can follow along and apply these techniques to your work. It's all about fun and play, and I am always your biggest cheerleader. I love watching my students shine a light on their creativity.
Doors are open for my Creative Sketchbook Club!
Discover the power of a simple sketchbook practice! The Creative Sketchbook Club is now open for a limited time. Join today and start developing your artistic voice with our supportive community.
Sketching is one of the oldest and most rewarding art habits that has helped me tremendously with a better mindset, finding my art voice, and improving my skills. And I can think of loads more benefits as well - which I can't wait to share with you!
Get ready for the experience of a lifetime!
Are you ready for some joytherapy?
I’m taking one of my most popular classes, Abstract Mini, with over 650 5-star reviews, and bringing it to life in this special live workshop! We’ll spend two hours together exploring:
-
Color palettes, shapes, and layers to create beautiful abstract pieces on paper.
-
Mixed media techniques using supplies like acrylic paints, paint pens, stencils, Neo Color II crayons, and much more - I'll share all my favorites
-
How to let loose and play, creating joy-therapy art that feels freeing and fun.
-
Plus, let's do this Live and in a fun, playful community.
This class is perfect for anyone who loves abstract painting and dabbling with mixed media supplies. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, you’ll leave inspired to keep creating long after the session ends.

Art retreats are designed to inspire, rejuvenate, and bring you pure joy. You'll find creativity around every corner and return home with a fresh spark and a collection of new artwork. Each retreat is a beautiful blend of artmaking, inspiring excursions, cultural experiences, and free time to relax and soak in your surroundings.
Not only will you dive deep into artmaking, but you’ll also connect with like-minded individuals, building a supportive community that extends far beyond the retreat. Together, we’ll make magic happen—through creativity, cultural excursions, and time spent exploring new places and ideas.

Live chats, inspiration, and encouragement
from my home to yours.
Starting this Facebook Creative Community in the summer of 2020 was one of the silver linings of the Pandemic. This group began 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 7K members! I still host Lives and anyone can share their art and get inspired daily. The group is private (yay for no trolling!), but creative minds are always welcome to join.
