Join Us For Slow Drawing Workshops!<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

I know you want to draw and paint, but every day life or your inner critic seems to get in the way. As an art therapist, I’ve got a lot of simple tools to help students just like you start making art consistently –\u00a0 building skills, confidence, and JOY in the process. <\/span><\/p>\n

Each week, I offer a free<\/strong> slow drawing workshop. We draw simple, but beautiful patterns inspired by nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

You don’t need any prior skill in drawing or mindfulness – just a willingness to show up and play. Come meet your art tribe!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you sign up, I’ll send you the link to join each week. You’ll be amazed at how much art you’ll make each week, and how each of these little drawings builds in your art journal.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can sign up to join us here.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
