Facilitated by artist and art therapist, Amy Maricle.
I’m Amy, an art therapist and art teacher with over 25 years experience. I’m also the author of Draw Yourself Calm which has sold tens of thousands of copies in 4 languages.
As an art therapist, I prioritize creating a safe community space where you feel free to experiment, try new things and share your work and questions in a judgment free zone.
Because I understand the creative roadblocks you face, I will help you identify what gets in the way of your creative time and ideas.
The Gathering gives you the support you need to weave bursts of art and creativity into your day, and fill your art journals with joy.
I’ve helped thousands of students and I can help you too.

I'm just a beginner. Is Extend for me?
YES! Our members have varying experience levels from total newbie to experienced artists and most of us somewhere in between. I share monthly practical and fun workshops where you will learn art skills, and do it through a mindful lens. You’ll see that the culture of our community is encouragement and togetherness.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There’s no contract — cancel whenever you’d like from your account settings, no need to reach out to us.
How is this different from the full Gathering membership?
Extend is focused on the slow drawing library. The full membership adds live monthly workshops, one-on-one time with Amy, and cohorts and challenges throughout the year.
Is this just recordings, or full workshops?
Every session is a full slow drawing or painting workshop, recorded from our live gatherings, so you can follow along step by step at your own pace.
