We gather for a total of five hours (2.5 hours each session), during which you will experience working with a variety of tools and mediums, allowing you to delve into the world of mixed media and abstract art.
You will make pieces of art using painting, collage, mediums, mark-making techniques and more.
I will teach you about colour theory and harmony so that you do not create “mud.”
I will show you how to add images to your pieces, keeping with an abstract theme, even if you have no drawing experience.
You will learn about composition and what makes a “pleasing to the eye” piece of art.
NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY. I will teach you everything you need to know to feel confident in making intuitive and expressive art pieces.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Absolutely no art-making experience is necessary! Chances are, you have made art at one point in your life and perhaps don’t realize it.
I know for sure that creativity is innate. How we express it may vary from person to person.
My retreats and workshops are designed to awaken this aspect of yourself. At the same time, you will be learning professional art skills.
I will be your guide along the way, whether you have painting experience or not.
-
I regularly update my offerings, which vary in length and are available at locations throughout the GTA, as well as add new dates.

Yes! In each workshop and course, I teach professional artist techniques that will allow you to continue to make art on your own at home, where you can also build on these skills.
-
Not at this time. I’m intentionally holding my workshops and retreats in person. I do believe in online learning and gathering; however, at this time, I feel that as a collective, we need to be gathering in person more often. There is an epidemic of loneliness in the Western world, and I hope that, in my small way, I can help overcome that.
However, I am open to offering an online, prerecorded class one day. If this interests you and you want to stay updated on new offerings, sign up for my emails here.

Absolutely! I ask that we schedule a brief call to discuss your event. I will then provide you with a quote for the event via email.
If you’d like to proceed with booking, an agreement will be forwarded along with a payment request.
All art-making supplies will be provided. Access to water and tables to work from is the host’s responsibility.
