If you are interested in coming to a live art workshop with me I wanted to let you know that I am taking 2027 completely off from teaching live! We have some fun personal things we will be doing. I am only sharing this now so we can create together in 2025 or 2026 if […]

So, we did this thing! I was trying to think how we could meet the needs of the Creatively Made Business community based upon the areas they were currently needing advice, inspiration or support. Using feedback from the business owners, we created six sessions and over 9+ hours of teaching that we are so proud […]

As a creative, one of my favorite things in the world is to step into the creative space of another. I love when an artist shares their space, how they use it, a peek into their favorite tools and even what they are currently working on. I hope you will join me for An Artist […]

I have always been drawn to objects with history and pieces that tell a story. I am fascinated by old closed up buildings, what is behind broken old factory windows, old gardens with creaky gates and walls with layers of plaster and paint. In this workshop we will gather our supplies and start creating our own […]

This has been a very full season and I am not a full season kind of girl. To make sure I handle it as well as possible I have to hold tight to my rhythms that could be quickly swept away if I am not careful. I get super intentional and focused in what recharges […]

I am constantly in awe of the beauty that is all around me if I have my eyes open to it. Sometimes I find it in wedding Facetime calls with Madolyn and Logan, the branches showing signs of life here in Colorado, making new art I am really proud of, watching my boys do their […]

I have found that the best moments are often those moments in the in-between. Little amounts of time where I can be present if I choose. It is in those moments that a book slowly gets read over a month, I capture my thoughts through writing, I have the face to face conversations, I sit […]

If you are interested in being on the waitlist for this retreat OR you are interested in hearing if we offer a second week for this retreat please email Summer at email: goddessofgrace@hotmail.com I am so honored to have been asked by Wandering Craft Retreats to teach next spring in […]

  Cy Twombly has long been one of my very favorite abstract artists. I have been fascinated by his mark making language, his use of color (and sometimes complete lack thereof) and that he was diverse on canvas, paper and assemblage. Recently, as I stood in front of many of his original works a friend turned […]
