Online Classes for Curious, Creative Explorers
Welcome to the online home for all my online art classes, printable lessons, and creative invitations.
These classes are designed for anyone who longs to slow down, notice more, and reconnect with their creativity — whether you’re brand new to art or returning after time away. Here, creativity isn’t about perfection or pressure. It’s about learning to see, to explore the world with curiosity, and to translate those moments into sketches, collages, color, and story.
Inside the Atelier, you’ll find gentle guidance, approachable techniques, and inspiring projects rooted in travel, everyday beauty, and the belief that creativity belongs to everyone.
Online Self-Paced Classes
Create at your own rhythm with thoughtfully guided video lessons and printable materials. Pause, rewind, revisit — and let creativity fit naturally into your life.
Online Live Classes
Join me on Zoom for live, interactive sessions where we gather, create, and explore together — sharing ideas, encouragement, and the joy of making art in community.

Simple, inviting lessons you can print and use anytime. Perfect for creative afternoons at home, travel journaling, or when inspiration strikes unexpectedly.
