“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. There is the light of your life, who may or may not have a fur coat. And there is the feeling of light, that will have you float for a while. Light is our theme for the month of April.

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!
