My first online course of 2017 is Wild Awakening and it begins on January 24th. I don’t remember the last time I had so much peace over a course. I think it is because the whole course is about playing, having fun in your art, finding freedom in your own path and methods, and breaking through boundaries we set on ourselves. We will be creating abstract and realistic pieces, stretching our comfort zones, create to music, paint and stitch on vintage grain sacks and create fun series in our work. I am bursting at the seems to share it all with you!

Each course I create I feel is my favorite course because it is where I am at and where I want my art to go and it shares my heart for how I want to express myself creatively. I have felt one of the biggest shifts in my own creativity within the past year and finding my own story has created the most beautiful awakening in myself and in my art.

With so much joy and anticipation I want to announce my newest online art course that will launch January 2017! I would be so honored to have you join me for Wild Awakening: Painting Big With Expressive Freedom! The art in this course is the art that is making me giddy and joyful and leaves me smiling ear to ear.

Join me for a two week painting and mixed media course all about painting bigger, finding creative freedom, telling your story like never before, breaking out of your comfort zone and creating art that you have dreamed about creating.

You can watch the course trailer below…

When I started to honor my own story and to find the marks, symbols, palette and strokes that resonated with me I started making art that brought joy like never before. I felt free. It truly became a creative awakening.

I will share how I take ideas from sketches to the canvas and how to start when you don’t have any ideas at all. I will teach how to stretch your own canvases and never be limited by the size of your art again. We will incorporate huge image transfers, collage and painting, vintage ephemera, creative substrates and projector work. We will make bold marks and let creativity lead us.

We will take all of the ideas you already have or that are just under the surface and bring them to life in a whole new way.

We will create using abstract storytelling, figures and even still life. We will incorporate movement and marks that I know will bring new growth to your work too.

This course will be 10+ hours of instruction and the videos will have lifetime access. Theregistration price is $52.
