Mini Masters | Instant Access
The first idea I ever had for an online course was the Studying Under The Masters series. It was not the first online course I put out into the world but once we created the online workshop, it ended up being a three-part series with 16 artists studying under a master artist and thousands of students learning with them. Creating this series was a joy for me because I am a history lover, I love to read and study and …

Making Art With Children {Letting Them Lead}
My children have been surrounded by art supplies, art books, art on the walls and art museums their whole lives. Sometimes what they really need is just the freedom to create. When I put supplies out for my kids and then I walk away to do my own thing I feel that my kids rush through the process instead of really taking their time. The best thing for me to learn as a mother when it comes to art is …

Out Exploring and Collecting
I have talked a lot in my newest online art course to be collectors of everything around you and then transform it into something that is your own. Nothing can leave me more inspired than a day spend at an art museum. This past Saturday we spent the day as a family at the Denver Art Museum enjoying the exhibit Passport to Paris. This exhibit is only here one more week and I highly recommend it. The best part is …

Are You Open About Who Inspires You?
I don’t know where it came from. This idea that everything you do must be 100% original and you must pull it out from the depths of your being. It isn’t really you, good, original, authentic…unless you create something that has never been made or done before. Can we just be real for a moment? We all inspire and encourage one another even if you don’t realize it. We can be inspired by magazines, movies, music, friends, paintings, museums, travel, …
