Below you’ll find my best painting, art journaling and collage mixed media classes for beginners. Let’s get your creative journey started!
Painting
Are you dreaming of filling your walls with gorgeously layered paintings? In “Rise” and “Wild Roses” you’ll discover surprisingly easy techniques that will give you beautiful results in no time.
Ready for more? “Flower Flow” is my most comprehensive class for beginners, with lots of creative tips, techniques and styles for you to try, while creating plenty of artworks you’ll be proud of!
Art Journaling
Art journaling is a creative and self-care practice, where you get to make art just for YOU without judgement or pressure.
If you’re new to it, I recommend starting with “The Artist & the Journal”, my foundational class where you’ll learn all the basics and much more, before diving into plenty of inspiring lessons that will help you confidently fill the pages of your very first art journal!
Collage & more
If making “real” art feels too scary just yet and you want to dip your toes with zero pressure, then get playful and messy with “Poetic Papers”, a super fun workshop where you’ll create a whole stash of unique collage materials to use in future mixed media projects!
Or if you long to get crafty and relax with flowy colors, while learning a ton of useful art tips at the same time, then come make your own deck of “Art Flow Cards”!

Fun and forgiving techniques!
Mixed media is a delightful and super forgiving creative process that encourages you to freely play with different techniques like collage, paints, inks, pens, crayons and so much more. Working in layers means everything is always fixable! Plus, I always encourage you to use the materials you already own.

All of my online classes include life-time access so you can easily learn at your own perfect pace, from the comfort of your home. You can view the lessons as many times as you wish, pause, go back or slow down… Plus, closed captions are included on all videos.
guidance and support
In the lessons, I show and explain everything in detail. Plus, when you join a class, you get access to our private community forum where the other participants and I will support you!
