Current Community Art Workshops & Classes
Struggling to find time for creativity & self-care?
Wouldn't it be awesome to get together with other creatives?
Join us during inspiring wellness workshops & connect with a community of other creatives!
Art Wellness Workshop
Let’s create.
These are not your typical art class where there are step-by-step instructions & everyone is creating the same art. This is a place for authentic self-expression. Open to adults who are looking to tap into their creativity.
Art Workshop Descriptions
Vision Board
-
Adults
Vision Boards are the art of assembling different materials (magazine cutouts, papers, photos, paint, marker, etc) to form a creative composition of goals and dreams.
We will be reflecting on our own at the start through writing, and then dig into the art process.

Altered Books

Adults
Altered Book Art: Give a Forgotten Story New Life
Using an unloved (or well-loved) book as your canvas, you'll explore mixed-media techniques like paint, collage, texture, and folding to transform its pages into something entirely new. These books are typically books that were going to be put into the trash, and we’re now giving them a new life!
This isn't a step-by-step class where everyone makes the same thing. You'll leave with techniques to keep experimenting with, and a piece that's entirely your own. Mixed media fun!
No art experience needed, just a willingness to experiment.

Process Painting
-
This is different than your paint & sip classes. We will be using our inner flow and express our energy through paint in this process painting workshop.
Let go of expectations and allow your energy to guide you as you create a painting that reflects what you need to release, explore or manifest. We’ll let our hearts lead the way in this expressive journey. This is not a step by step painting class. We will all be creating our own unique pieces.
Many find this creative process a powerful tool for self-expression and stress relief. It’s a safe space to connect with your intuition, gain clarity and experience a deep sense of release and empowerment.
No artistic experience necessary, just bring an open heart and a willingness to explore!

Virtual Sketchbook Club

Hello! 🎨
This is the form for interest in virtual creative art offerings. I am hoping to get these offerings started and by submitting this form, it will best assist in this process.
About:
These offerings will include meeting virtually and creating art. This will be a space to carve out time for self-care & build routine in our creative practice. We will not be critiqued for our artwork.
The Why:I'm developing these offerings virtually due to to topic of disconnection & loneliness, and bringing them to all! Since 2020, there has been a decrease in social interaction and I hope for this virtual space to be a little action to increase your social cup as well as spark your creativity.
Thank you :)Be sure to check your spam folder for emails from me!

Join us and enjoy an inspiring and interactive art experience made just for adults.
We will be joining together to create art in our sketchbook. I will most likely use Substack as the layout for the subscription. These will be once monthly for a live offering. I will record these so if you aren’t able to join live, you can still join!

Collage

Adults
Collage Art: Piece Together Something New
Collage is the art of transformation, taking torn paper, magazine clippings, found images, and unexpected materials and turning them into something entirely your own. There's no wrong way to cut, layer, or arrange.
This isn't a step-by-step class where everyone makes the same piece. You will explore a variety of materials and go with what feels good for you.
No art experience needed, just a willingness to play.

If you’ve attended any of my workshops, please leave a review here.
Art workshops offer a unique and enriching experience for individuals by fostering personal growth, creativity, and community connection. Here are some of the key benefits:
-
Participants can explore in a visually expressive way. This can be restorative and empowering.
No art experience is required.
-
These workshops create a safe, supportive environment where individuals can come together and share in the creative process. Whether participants choose to engage in conversation or simply create alongside others, the shared experience of making art fosters a sense of belonging. It helps reduce feelings of isolation and strengthens connection within the community, reminding us that creativity can be both personal and powerfully collective.
-
Art allows individuals to reflect on their inner world, helping identify and explore personal values, goals, aspirations, & more!
-
Creating art can be a powerful way to process and release. It can help participants gain clarity and foster a greater sense of self-awareness and resilience.
Engaging in art is known to be helpful in reducing stress & promoting relaxation.
Along with my above offerings, I enjoy collaborating with other businesses and programs to bring art and wellness into other communities.
As a passionate Traveling Art Facilitator, I bring creativity, wellness, and joy right to the heart of communities. These can also be catered to a virtual audience.
From intimate neighborhood workshops, to retreats, to a small office, I adapt to deliver tailored, expressive experiences regardless of setting or crowd size. Learn more about traveling workshops here! I also facilitate presentations & experiential workshops in larger settings where you can see here.
