In a world that often moves too fast, I invite you to find a gentler rhythm, one that feels natural and nourishing. Through nature and creativity, I’ve found so much healing and wonder, and it’s a joy to pass that along. Whether you're here to learn a new technique or simply to reconnect with your creative spark, I hope what I’ve discovered through art can inspire and support you too.
This is where I’ll be sharing my most recent class right here on my website.
Grab your favorite drink, a cozy snack, and those beautiful art supplies. Let’s slow down and paint a little magic together.
Let’s Paint Together!
Class available now- August 18th
Come paint this magical Luna Moth with lovely roses and leaves and a big glowing sun!
In this class, we’ll explore beautiful colors and create some depth with our watercolors! For a quicker process, I recommend a hair dryer to use in between drying times so we can move on to another layer- or if not, just give your piece the time to dry in between :)
We will focus on details in the flower, glazing colors and lastly using a white pen to add in fun details in the antenna and highlights!
Feel free to use any colors that speak to you! We’ll be working with watercolors, one of the most beautiful mediums! The light airy flow, magical way the colors blend- it's a perfect medium for any artist at any learning stage!
I’ll guide you step-by-step as we create sunset colored roses, green foliage, and this beautiful green moth! I try to keep the techniques easy to follow, but feel free to chat with me if you are having issues! When I am learning, I tend to watch the video first, then paint along the second time around, especially with watercolors. Just a tip, feel free to paint and follow along in a manner that feels right to you!
This class will be so much fun, and I can’t wait to paint with you!
New Tutorial Available July 18th
Paint an intuitive crystal in watercolors with me! ✨
We’ll play with a limited color palette and explore a fun technique to create beautiful texture. Then, we’ll add touches of shimmering gold to elevate the magic even more! You’re going to love this creative adventure.

These classes are offered as pay-what-you-can because I truly believe that art should be accessible to everyone, no matter your circumstances. Whether you’re just starting or returning to your creative path, I want you to feel inspired, supported, and free to explore art in your unique way.
Each class includes a supply list, a reference image, and a full video tutorial—I'll be guiding you with my voice step-by-step as we paint together in this pre-recorded class!
You’ll be able to watch the class for one month. After that, it’ll be added to my Patreon archive, where for just $7/month, you’ll get access to all past tutorials too! The tutorials here on my website will refresh with a new fun and fresh class!
Suggested donation is $10 ~If money’s a little tight right now, please feel welcome to pay what feels right for you, or enjoy the class as my gift. And if you’re able to give a bit more, your support helps keep these offerings going and growing. 💛
