Mixed Media Artist
Mixed Media Art for Workshops & Classes
When I was age 10, I loved painting. Every Saturday, I walked a mile to take a class at the Art League in Oak Park, Il. The time would fly by as I was in the flow. My art was colorful and free. At age 12, I had a critical teacher and I stopped painting and my creativity went into hiding. To paraphrase Julia Cameron from her book The Artist's Way, if you really want to know what you are supposed to do in life, look at what you loved as a child.
After 20 years running a successful cooking business, I sold it in 2017 to focus full-time on my art practice. I took an art class and was the worst one in the class, but committed to getting better and got an art studio in the ICB Building. I wanted to reclaim something that had been dormant my whole life. It has been a true homecoming. Many of my students report this same kind of story - that they loved art as a child but lost sight of it for various reasons.
Let me help ignite that creativity in you by coming out to play in a mixed media workshop. See workshop dates below or sign-up for my newsletter to get notified of my on-line class.
"Thank You so much for sharing your heart and soul with us. You’re a great teacher. I love your focus on teaching us how to “let go”. How to get back to that fun place where thinking takes a back seat. You have a gift for coaching people on how to get to the creative sweet spot. I had a truly beautiful and moving experience." - Doug Schneider, Artist and Mixed Media Student

Mixed media art is the use of a variety of media in a work of art such as paint and collage. Taking a mixed media workshop is a great way to get started on your artistic journey!
