Join me for a vibrant, playful painting experience designed to help you reconnect with your creative voice. In this intuitive, abstract painting workshop, we’ll let go of perfection and lean into curiosity, joy, and expressive freedom. Whether you’re new to painting or deep into your creative journey, this experience is about loosening up, tuning in, and letting your intuition lead the way.
What to Expect:
✨ A whole-hearted approach that includes meditation, journaling, and mindful presence
🎨 Live painting demos and step-by-step support
🖌️ Expressive mark-making and layering techniques
🎨 My favorite paints, tools, and mixed media materials
🌈 Color mixing tips, value and contrast insights, and more
This class is designed to help you access creative courage, connect with your intuition, and unearth your inner wisdom. Together, we’ll explore what it means to make freedom-focused art in innovative ways, inviting raw honesty and emotional release into both your artwork and your life. You’ll learn to let go of overthinking and perfectionism, and instead embrace change, surprise, and spontaneity through intuitive layering. We’ll explore how contrast brings life to both art and emotion. Most importantly, you’ll rekindle inspiration, nurture self-acceptance with kindness, and form meaningful connections with kindred creative spirits.
Over the course of multiple days, we’ll move through the full arc of the creative process. You’ll begin with the excitement of starting fresh, move through the messy and often uncertain middle, and finish with clarity and confidence. I’ll be there to guide you at every step, especially during those challenging moments where the next move feels unclear. Painting over multiple days gives your work the space to breathe and develop. Returning with fresh eyes each day allows you to see new possibilities and refine your vision.
I’ll share prompts, techniques, and a few helpful “rules” — then invite you to break them all. This is a space to explore, take risks, and quiet the inner critic.
This is not a paint-by-numbers class. I’m not here to teach you to paint like me or anyone else. This is your time to explore your own style, tell your own story, and create something that is uniquely yours.
Most importantly, we’ll build a supportive and joyful creative community. Expect laughter, creative messes, and maybe even a little dancing.
Come for the painting. Stay for the connection. Let’s get wild with wonder together.
