Course Description


Have you ever stared at a blank page or canvas wondering what the heck should I do? 

Or have wasted time searching for inspiration? 

Oh, my, gosh! I know I have! There's nothing worse than when you want to get creative, but you feel like you've got nothin! No ideas, no goal, no inspiration. 

Welp, I'm gonna help you get past that!

I'm so excited about this workshop because I share for the first time how I get out of my creative ruts.

I have developed a practice that works for me every. single. time. That sparks my imagination, gets my fingers in the paint and gets me in the flow! 

In this workshop, we dive into my secret sauce for getting the mojo flowing,  and how to create quickly by thinking only about the next step....to get the most out of your time.  

I will guide you, in gathering all our elements together, preparing our journals with speed, creating grungy gelli prints and building amazing texture, all in an unconventional way, that I know will light the fire in your soul!

Oh, and did I mention that I help take the fear out of starting something new or working through your projects? 

It's all part of the system that I use that I can't wait to share with you.


We'll pull  it all together to create 

6 beautiful abstract projects in our journals and on canvas. Even going big on a 16 x20


****Then to make this even better I'm throwing in two bonus lessons. 

1. Creating your own journal and 

2. 10 ways you can use tissue paper in your mixed media mini workshop that is jam-packed with the best ideas for tissue! 

I've never offered such a huge bonus before!


All this for just $67.00!.
