How to Work With Me

If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’re craving more creative freedom, confidence, and room to explore without pressure or perfection.

I believe creativity isn’t about talent or getting it “right.”
It’s about showing up, trying things, and trusting yourself along the way.

I offer a few simple, welcoming ways to create together- whether you’re just beginning or returning to art after a long pause.

Here’s how we can work together right now.

In-Person Mixed Media Workshops

Build confidence. Learn techniques. Leave with a finished piece.

My in-person workshops are rooted in the same philosophy you’ll see throughout my work:
brave exploration over perfection.

Each month, I offer two ways to create in person:

Brave Layers: Foundations Workshop

This is my core, beginner-friendly mixed media workshop.

We focus on foundational techniques like layering, mark-making, texture, and intuitive decision-making while creating a single finished art piece. I guide the process step-by-step, while encouraging personal style, curiosity, and creative choice.

This workshop is designed to feel welcoming for beginners without limiting more experienced creatives.

Monthly Mixed Media Workshops

Alongside Brave Layers, I also offer rotating monthly workshops that explore different themes, techniques, or creative prompts.

These workshops build on the same foundations while offering something a little different each month — perfect if you enjoy variety, seasonal inspiration, or coming back to try something new.

These workshops are a great fit if you want to:

  • Learn mixed media techniques in a supportive, judgment-free space

  • Feel more confident starting and finishing a piece

  • Explore creatively without pressure

  • Try something new, even if you don’t feel “artistic”

No experience required. Curiosity is always enough.

Limited-Edition Creative Experiences

Small, seasonal workshops offered a few times a year.

Once or twice a year, I host special mixed media workshops in beautiful outdoor settings — like flower farms, lakeside parks, and other nature-inspired spaces.

These experiences are intentionally small (typically 10–12 participants) so I can offer more personal guidance and create a relaxed, connected atmosphere.

Because space is limited, these workshops are usually announced first- and sometimes only- through my email list.

Dates and locations vary, and these offerings are only available occasionally throughout the year.

Online Workshops

Creative exploration, on your schedule.

My e-workshops offer a deeper look at mixed media techniques, layering, and creative courage- all at your own pace.

These experiences are meant to support you in:

  • Building confidence in your creative process

  • Exploring techniques step-by-step

  • Letting go of rules and expectations

  • Developing trust in your own artistic voice

You can revisit lessons anytime and create in a way that fits your life, energy, and rhythm.

Not Sure Where to Start?

If you’re new here, a simple place to begin is:

  1. Start with a free resource

  2. Join an in-person or online workshop

  3. Keep exploring from there

There’s no right order — just the path that feels supportive to you right now.

If you’re ready to create, I’d love to create with you.
