NEW!! RESET & RECHARGE IS IN THE WORKS!

Creative Workshops

Make space to play, explore

and create.

You don’t need experience. Just curiosity and a little trust in the process.

These aren’t traditional art classes.

They’re relaxed, creative experiences designed to help you slow down, explore, and reconnect with yourself through colour, words, images and playful expression.

Layers of You -- NEW!

A Six-Week Art Journaling Series

This isn’t about creating a masterpiece. It’s about creating a moment—and a creative practice—for yourself.

Art journalling is a place to play, reflect and express yourself using colour, words, images, paint and collage.

Over six relaxed evenings, we’ll explore different ways of approaching the page through simple creative invitations and guided techniques. Some weeks may begin with words. Others may begin with colour, an image, a feeling—or no plan at all.

You don’t need to consider yourself artistic, and you don’t need to know what you want to create before you arrive. This is about becoming curious, experimenting and allowing each page to develop one layer at a time.

What You'll Explore

• Paint, collage, words and expressive mark-making
• Approachable prompts to help you begin
• Ways to loosen perfectionism and experiment more freely
• Pages that may be personal, playful, reflective—or simply fun
• Techniques you can continue using at home
• Dedicated creative time in the company of others

There will be guidance and inspiration each week, along with plenty of freedom to follow your own ideas.

What To Bring

You’ll bring your own art journal and basic supplies.

A suggested materials list will be provided before the series begins, with affordable options and encouragement to use materials you may already have.

I’ll also have a selection of additional paints, papers, collage materials and creative bits available for us to share and explore.

You don’t need to arrive with an elaborate collection of art supplies.

Begin with the basics, and discover what you enjoy as we go.

Intuitive Painting Workshops

Want to take your creativity beyond the journal?

Intuitive painting offers a spacious, pressure-free way to follow colour, movement and instinct across the canvas.

No experience is needed—just a willingness to begin and see where the creative process takes you.

What is Intuitive Painting?

This is about process, not perfection.

Using paint as a tool for self-discovery, these workshops help you explore what’s on your heart and mind — even if you don’t have the words yet. You’ll be guided through a series of intuitive exercises designed to quiet your inner critic and awaken your creative spirit.

Whether you’re painting your vision, expressing emotion, or simply playing with color, this is time just for you.

Why Intuitive Painting?

Intuitive painting is a creative process that invites you to let go of expectations and listen to your inner voice. It’s about tuning into your intuition, expressing yourself freely, and letting the painting unfold in its own way.

✅ Connect to your intuition — Let your gut guide the process, not a plan

✅ Focus on process over product — Discover what emerges when you release perfection

✅ Enjoy total creative freedom — No rules, no judgment — just playful expression

✅ Explore your inner world — Access hidden thoughts and emotions through color and movement

✅ Reduce stress & find calm — Painting is meditative, soothing, and grounding

✅ Support emotional well-being — Creative expression supports resilience, confidence, and joy
