Learn something NEW in 2022

It’s the start of a brand new year and many of us are writing down our goals, our resolutions or choosing a word of the year to focus on. I love the start of something new. It always fills me with excitement to dream and plan what’s next.

If you have a desire to grow your art skills or to explore creativity for the first time ever, let me be the first to cheer you on! In our busy, fast-paced culture, we often push our dreams aside to make room for the day-to-day responsibilities. But I think that fostering creativity is important. Not only to our minds, but to our souls as well.

If you are not sure where to begin, take a class! There are so many amazing classes out there in your own city or online. Just do a little internet research and you’ll find more options than you ever imagined.

I have published a few online watercolor classes on Skillshare. If you are interested in taking one of these, or any of their other amazing classes, here is a link for one month free:

I am currently filming more new classes for 2022 and will post these on my website here:

Another great option for people who want to do a live online class via Zoom is through the Walter Hive. They offer a free Monday night virtual workshop for all levels of artists. Perfect for beginners! You can learn more here:

I hope I’ve inspired and encouraged you to learn something new in 2022. Make time for art even if it is only an hour per week. You’ll bring more joy and creativity to your world by exploring this part of yourself.

Happy Painting!
