“Light”
Light is many, many things. It’s mood and focus and guidance and reflection. There is the light in the deepest darkness from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.

Learning from the heart
Online classes designed to support your creativity
Learning basic and advanced art skills doesn’t have to be tedious or uninspiring. I love teaching people how to work on their goals by combining technical exercises with creative, dynamic projects. Art is more than just a skill; it’s a healing mindset.
I have both shorter workshops and extensive courses available; whatever suits your creative need right now. I give feedback and support in my safe, private Facebook group!

Studio hours #5
I continued with yesterday’s panel, for a few short layers. I’d like to see what it takes to build some layers of textural paint, without applying very thick layers. With acrylics, this was a lot easier because of the way it dries. This process might take several weeks, so I’ll keep posting updates, and then

Studio hours #4 and an update
I wasn’t feeling great lately, to be honest. After the up – working with relative confidence on my panels – came the down. Besides my smaller panels, the main focus of my expo are on three larger works. And they freaked me out. At some point you realise; if I don’t start now, it’s gonna
