With over 25 years of teaching experience, I want to help you discover and nurture your unique creative voice. Each month’s theme, often inspired by the plants and birds around me , acts as a starting point for your own exploration. You might follow along, or choose subjects closer to home, from flowers in a vase to your own everyday surroundings.
Research, poetry, and journaling are woven into the practice, encouraging you to collect ideas, images, and reflections that build into a personal record of your creative journey. This membership is about learning techniques and much more besides, it’s about finding what speaks to you, deepening your practice, play, experimentation and following your own path with curiosity and joy.
