I still have spots left in my special back-to-school workshop for ages 5-11!

This self-portrait workshop is designed to help kids celebrate who they are and head into the school year feeling confident and creative!

Artists will create a colorful mixed-media self portrait (slightly different than the examples shown here, this was from a different lesson I taught) and design a confidence crown filled with encouraging words and joyful self-expression.

Sibling discount available, parents may stay or drop off! 💖

A little summer art dump ☀️🎨✨🤗

Also, a friendly FYI: this account isn’t monitored regularly. I removed all social media from my phone in January and only post from my computer now.

For classes or questions, email is the best way to reach me 💛

PS - Summer art classes are going live this weekend, and signups always go to email subscribers first! 💖

My Tuesday AM students finished their layered abstract paintings before spring break, and they are too beautiful not to share. 😍 🎨

Artists chose analogous paint palettes to scrape on, then then used various tools like paint combs and recycled objects to print textures onto their canvases.

On our third week we added final details with chalk pens, oil pastels, and metallic paint markers. Very entertaining to study each painting and find the hidden details! 👀

PS - these are 24"x36"!

Painting progress update from the first two weeks of my current Tuesday AM art class 😍

I'm calling these layered large-scale abstract paintings? 😜 24x36" piece of gessoed canvas that just lays flat on the floor–we did a layer of scrape painting with analogous colors week one and then talked about tints and shades and added patterns and textures last week. Also looked at Joan Mitchell and Alma Thomas for some inspiration. 💪

We will add finishing touches next week, and I can't wait to continue watching these artists explore! 😍

WOW what a journey this became. 😅😂

Genuinely thought this would be a quick lil’ spontaneous video. The DIY fairies had other plans.

Good news is you can watch the full video on YouTube.

Great news is that it all worked out well in the end and the system I set up is helping to keep the desk much less crazy!! 💪🤭
