Zen Full Painting
☆ Zen Full Painting ~ Self Paced Course Ready to Start Now ☆
I often greet the blank surface as both a playground and a temple, a place to meet with mystery, explore the wonders and my own wilderness, play with possibility, sing, pray, cry, celebrate and co-create with the life force that flows through all!
In this course, I share how I created the “Zen Full” trio of 3 paintings inspired by the serenity of Japanese gardens and the wabi sabi idea of seeing the beauty in imperfection.

Playful Painting
I often greet the blank surface as both a playground and a temple, a place to meet with mystery, explore the wonders and my own wilderness, play with possibility, sing, pray, cry, celebrate and co-create with the life force that flows through all!
In this course, I share how I created the “Young at Heart” series of 4 playful paintings inspired by the simple joys of childhood. Various toys and scribbles were used while creating these fun paintings. This is also a great project to do with kids!

The Present Thrivival
☆ "The Present" online course is Available to Start Now! ☆ This ‘thrivival’ online retreat course offering is intended to nurture and nourish our spirits with creativity, inspiration, and good medicine (the soul food kind!).

This offering’s focus is on exploring "The Present". Each individual Thrivival offering is different, yet consistently tending to the mind, body, and spirit with sweet soul food.

"The Present" Thrivival content includes:
☆ Introduction ☆ Story Time ☆ In Depth Art Project ☆ Meditation ☆ Suggested Physical Activity ☆ Writing Prompt ☆ Music Play List ☆ References/Recommendations ☆ Wrap-Up
This course was originally created in 2016, yet it still feels relevant, worthwhile and fun. I hope you’ll agree. I did not initially share the finished art with participants in order to maintain the element of discovery along with me throughout the course. Since then, the art created has been featured in my Soul Songs inspiration card deck. So, you get to see it before you begin. You never know how and where your art may evolve and end up! Trust and enjoy your process.
Please check your email (and spam folders) soon after checkout to download a PDF with the welcome & access info.
Thank YOU!
