Catch your Breath, Explore the Wonder, Feel the Magic
You’re invited to greet the canvas as both a temple and a playground during these fun painting sessions inspired by curiosity, creativity, history, nature, great books and studio stories.
Have you ever wanted to have a conversation with a favorite artist from the past? Do you enjoy trying on different styles and techniques with wild abandon? Can you let art be a playground for feeling the colors, finding your own language through the marks, and using a variety of supplies while being fully free to make a marvelous mess?
These intuitive painting sessions are more than just painting lessons. There is magic and medicine to be found in art! This approach invites us on a journey into the creative process that will deepen the connection with your creative heritage and community as well as your own inner muse while strengthening your sacred voice.

All of the creative courses I offer incorporate an intuitive approach. The newest offering takes us on a journey with Picasso, Klimt, Monet, O’Keeffe, and other well known artists. There are 7 fun art projects with video tutorials. It is inspired by an adorable picture book that is a short and easy read for the holiday time of year. It goes well with the winter season and also makes a great gift!
