I’m Betsy—an American artist, author, and creative guide living in Paris. Whether we’re sketching beside the Seine, wandering a neighborhood market, or creating together online, I’ll help you see with curiosity, learn the stories of a place, and make something uniquely your own.
There is no single way to live a creative life. Join me in Paris, wander through France, create from home, or simply begin by noticing one beautiful detail today.
Go beyond the familiar sights and discover Paris through its neighborhoods, artists, monuments, stories, and everyday rhythms. My creative ateliers and resources invite you to observe closely, explore with context, and experience the city like a curious flâneuse.
Wander through the landscapes and cultural stories of Provence, the Loire Valley, and beyond. Each journey blends art, history, local traditions, and imaginative experiences to help you form a deeper connection with place.
Bring the Wanderlust Designer way of seeing into your own creative space. Through live online ateliers, courses, journals, art lessons, and printable kits, you can explore, experiment, and build creative confidence wherever you are.
Step into my creative journal for travel stories, sketchbook pages, cultural discoveries, and small moments worth noticing. You’ll find inspiration to wander, observe, and create more intentionally in your own life.
Every Wanderlust Designer experience begins with curiosity and a sense of place. Through small groups, thoughtful pacing, cultural storytelling, and approachable creative practice, you’ll learn to notice more deeply, create with confidence, and carry the experience home in a way that is uniquely yours.
