Making Art Accessible
Artwork has been something that has been a safe space for me my entire life. I believe that all humans are creative and that something magical happens when you can set some time aside to connect with a creative practice. From my perspective, creating is one of the quickest ways to promote self-healing.

First Strokes:
Acrylic Painting for Beginners
First Strokes: Acrylic Painting for Beginners is a comprehensive, self-paced 4-week program designed for those who are new to painting and eager to explore the world of acrylics. This program gently guides you through the foundational skills needed to create beautiful, representational artwork, even if you’ve never picked up a brush before.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to set up your painting space, select the right materials, and understand the basics of color theory, composition, and style! Each week focuses on a different aspect of painting, from sketching your subject and mixing vibrant colors to building up layers and adding finishing touches. Step-by-step video lessons, practical exercises, and group sharing opportunities will help you build confidence and develop your unique artistic voice and style.
Whether you’ve always wanted to paint but felt intimidated, or you’re simply looking for a creative outlet, First Strokes offers a supportive, encouraging environment to learn at your own pace.
By the end of the program, you’ll have completed several paintings and gained the skills to continue your artistic journey with confidence. I cannot WAIT to paint with you!
In collaboration with Coach Art, a company dedicated to bringing Art & Fitness to kids impacted by Chronic Illness, this Winter Paint Club was a remote e-learning experience filled with step-by-step guidance. Each piece was broken down into simple steps so they were easy to follow. I chose 4 different reference images and developed the course around the winter season. I am so proud of all the artists that joined this club and look forward to collaborating with Coach Art again in the future!

Currently, I'm exploring painting representationally and teaching at an Assisted Living Center in Bloomingdale. Additionally, I am continuing to teach online. If you would like to learn to paint online or host a sip & paint locally, feel free to reach out with any art related inquiries below.
