Transformative Mixed Media Art Workshops that Awaken
Your Creative Soul
Imagine how your life would change if you unleashed your inner artist and let her bloom.
Hi, I’m Laly Mille
You could call me an artist and creative guide, but really I’m a dreamer and storyteller longing for all of us to bring more beauty, wonder and joy into the world.
One thing I know for certain is that you have a rich inner world and exploring it on the art journal page or the canvas will color your life with more joy, more hope, more healing and more beauty.
I believe with my whole heart that YOUR ART MATTERS.
Mixed media is such a rich and playful approach to art, bringing together paint, inks, collage, words and even found materials. It’s given me the freedom to explore my creativity joyfully, without the need for perfectionism, and I’d love to show you how it’s possible for you too through my online classes!

My Story
You could call me a late-blooming artist.
There were years and years where I kept my artist self locked away. Looking back now, I almost feel like my life before finding art wasn’t really me. Like I was living half a life.
My very first painting felt like being born again. It was at that moment that I decided to fully embrace the artist in me. I never looked back. But it took me several years to get there. So, if you’re feeling that same longing, I want you to know you’re not alone and it’s not too late.
