...........

Thank YOU so very much for all of your kind words and enthusiasm about my newest online course, SERENDIPITY - A Year In Mixed Media. 

I cannot wait to paint with all of you for the entire year!

Your support means more than I can ever express, and I can't even say how excited I am for class to begin on September 16! This is the first time I'm teaching a class throughout the entire year and after hearing from so many of you that you just don't ever get enough time to create, it seemed like the perfect thing to do. And the classroom will be open for 2 years.

Find all of the class details and register right here.

And to celebrate it all, I'm having a GIVEAWAY! 

*update: the giveaway has ended. thank you to everyone who entered.*

The winner will receive a spot in SERENDIPITY. Just leave a comment to this post and include your email address by September 10, 2013 11:59 EST and I'll randomly choose the winner and announce it here on Wednesday before class begins. If you've already registered, no worries, you can still enter and either choose to be refunded or pass your free spot onto a friend.

And now for a little video inspiration...

I hope you enjoy this video. It's a snip-it from the first project we'll be painting in SERENDIPITY - A Year In Mixed Media. 

In class, I slow down most of the video from start to finish and talk you through each step, so you can see just how every layer got there and know why I create the way I do to make it easiest for you to paint too. 

I can't wait to see the gorgeous artwork you create!

*Update: The sale spots are nearly sold out. Payment plans are always welcome.

I am so crazy excited for my new online course SERENDIPITY - A Year In Mixed Media where we'll be painting together for an entire year!

This class has been on my mind for some time as I've been wrapping up many creative projects to allow more time to create. I just can't wait to dive back into painting and exploring new techniques, styles and playing with all sorts of fun art supplies. 

My hope for you in this class is that these paintings and inspirations throughout the year will give you a place to begin, so you can get over creative blocks, have fun and paint in a style that is unique to YOU.

That means we'll be painting whimsical animals, girls, imaginary creatures, owls and so much more (I'll even demonstrate one of my new BIG paintings)!

The classroom will remain open to you for two years when you register now, so if you'd like to get the most out of this class, be sure to register early!

I just can't thank you all enough for your kindness, encouragement and support! THANK YOU! I cannot wait to paint more with you. Painting has always been my passion. And I am so very honored to be able to share my art with you!

Have a phenomenal weekend!

xoxo,

A NEW Online Class & a SALE!

It’s been a blissful summer here in Wisconsin, and I’ve been enjoying the shade as I paint and write in our blooming backyard. 

My lovely husband and technical guru Brian has been busy putting the finishing touches on my new website.  

I built my current website while still working as a web developer and programmer and over the last six years it has housed my web, writing, photography and now painting portfolios. I can’t even tell you how good it feels to be updating my online space to fit my current business (sort of like clearing out old closets to make room for the new). 

I can't wait to share it all with you soon. 

I’m also developing my next online course... SERENDIPITY - A Year In Mixed Media! 

This course has been on my mind for some time. I wanted to create a class that would help you overcome creative blocks and strengthen your own unique style.  

In this online course, I'll share all I learn and paint the entire year.

That means we'll be painting whimsical animals, girls, imaginary creatures, owls and so much more. And with each demo, I'll also show you what inspired it and how I add those inspirations into each new piece to strengthen and evolve my style. We'll also play with painting backgrounds and layering, experiment with lots of different art supplies, and have fun bringing our paintings to life. It's all about giving you a place to begin, so your imagination can wander.

Registration opens August 16. Class begins in September and you'll have access to the classroom for 2 years to be sure there is plenty of time to explore, connect and paint. 

I'll have more details for you closer to the date. 

Sign up for my newsletter to get a little reminder.

ORIGINAL (SOLD). Prints available in my etsy shop.

In the meantime, I'm so excited to now offer you access to all of my online courses for an entire year from the day you register. And if you've just recently signed up, no worries. I've already extended your access. I know things get busy and it's important to me that you have enough time to paint, play and create!

And to celebrate, I'm having a 10% OFF SALE in my shop.

Enter the promo code: SUMMERBLISS at checkout for 10% off of everything in my etsy shop. That includes spots in my e-courses (when purchased via my etsy shop).

I've also added lots of new originals and prints... like this little owl I call BLISS. 

See you in the Shop! 

xoxo,
