Three years ago I took a brave bold step in the direction of my dreams, and set a table in my studio to film my first class ever: Layers of Light. Three years and over 1000 students later, I still remember that first, awkward filming session and the light that filled my soul…

A quick update for those of you who are wondering why I have suddenly gone MIA online: all is well! I’m on a video-editing marathon and getting everything ready to welcome the students of Soulful Abstracts next month!

Sometimes there are no words, no images that can fully express what lives within our souls, and that’s when the magic of abstract art comes in! Are you ready to unveil your own abstract language? In today’s post I’m sharing some key lessons from my new class Soulful Abstracts!

Happy News! Enrollment for my brand new class Soulful Abstracts opens in just a few days, and here is a video sneak peek for you!

I get tons of questions about my favorite art supplies and how to get started with mixed media, so I’ve put together this FREE, 5-DAY WORKSHOP for my creative community: See you in the studio!

I have been super busy filming my new class Soulful Abstracts and I think it’s high time I give you a little update… with plenty of sneak peeks from the classe’s projects!

It’s time to open (or start!) your art journal! Join me in a delightful FREE event: Sketchbook Revival 2019!

I’m celebrating my new surroundings (home! studio!… and garden!) with a FREE art journaling video session! Come on over and celebrate with me!

What if you could Make Art and Help the Earth all at the same time? Today I’m joining forces with 45+ mixed media artists to make a difference with The Art for Earth Project: together we have created an incredible art bundle that you don’t want to miss!

Just as the river does, our emotions flow and carry us through life in unique and sometimes unexpected ways: What if we let ourselves be guided by them? What if we trusted ourselves enough to dive under the sparkly surface and find out what wisdom awaits us there? What if we let go of resistance and simply embraced the flow?

Around here lately: the light feels magical and the first frosts inspire me to play with white! It’s a busy time in the studio as I’m preparing some very special projects for December… all about light and white! Get ready to get inspired…

I’m about to celebrate another year of teaching and you’re invited! Join me for a week-end full of sweet surprises, including giveaways, a special sale and a gorgeous brand new class inspired by Jane Austen…

Join me in the studio and create gorgeous floral abstract paintings! “Wild Roses” is your invitation to embrace color, welcome the unexpected and let your heart bloom with joy!

Maybe that's because the solstice is approaching, but I'm more than ever fascinated by the play of Light and Shadow these days. And texture. And color... So here's a peek at what I'm up to lately: new, big abstract paintings, a solo show, encaustic wax and Layers of Light… Read on!

Making art is a physical experience: my hands and my whole body are as involved as my soul. It's a dance between this physicality and the deeply spiritual side of the process. Whispers and touch... There's something so intimate about this.

So many exciting things going on at the moment! New art, new classes, a treehouse and some top secret projects… the studio is buzzing with abstracts, fibers, flowers, art journals and more… Come on in!

The Artist & the Journal is my new art journaling and painting online class! It's all about building your confidence, growing your wings and taking the leap from the intimate space of the page to the wide open space of the canvas!

Oh it's really starting to feel like spring! How about celebrating with a gorgeous floral abstract painting?This project is featured in the latest issue of Cloth Paper Scissors magazine and I even have a lovely timelapse video for you. Enjoy!
