✨YOU MADE IT! ✨

Imagine the holidays are complete, the new year has begun and it’s time to repair, recover and settle back into you. This beloved workshop has evolved over the years, from a structured Goal Board, to a possibility-filled Vision Board, to the more intuitive, soul-led Dream Board it is today. :)

Join us as we create space to pause, journal, reflect, and get clear on what you want to cultivate in 2026.

We’ll explore questions like:

✨ How do you want to feel this year?
✨ What’s one thing you want to learn or step into?
✨ Which relationships do you want to prioritize?
✨ What’s your mantra for 2026?
✨ This year wouldn’t be complete without… and more.

Together, we’ll create a Dream Board that reflects YOU.

What’s included:
* All materials
* Supportive facilitation
* Cozy Friday-night evening
* Creative container

Feel free to bring extra magazines, images, inspirations and friends!

Absolutely no art experience needed.

Lately I’ve been sitting with the idea that “to be known is to be loved,” and how this community continues to embody that truth in the most tender and creative ways.

Every time you show up with your real feelings, your unique marks, your wild sparks and quiet edges, you remind me (and I hope yourself too!) what it means to be seen, without needing to produce or perform.

Thank you for helping shape a space where we soften instead of armor, create instead of hide, and remember our (wild) selves alongside one another. This is the kind of creativity that can only be experienced 💛

Endlessly grateful for you, the energy you bring into the studio and your willingness and commitment to being known and loved.

✨Wild and Free had its 1st Baby Shower!!! ✨

Honored to host and decorate this studio with even more LOVE for one of the fiercest women I know with . Our day was filled with connection, sharing & community as we circled around and expressed love for Sara and bebe to be.

✨Moving into the weekend like✨

“One of the most pervasive fears connected to Creative expression is the apprehension of self revelation.

People ask, “What is this expression saying about me that I don’t want other people to know?” We have a hard time separating what we make, and show, from who we are.

But when it comes to relationships, with the things we make, the most significant engagement involves the way in which the creation shapes us and how we experience ourselves while creating.”

Last month I had the opportunity to spend 6 days rafting on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, Idaho with twelve(!) strangers. No connectivity, no toilets and lots of love. Here’s what I learned:

✨ It’s nice to lead and it’s just as nice to be led.

✨ The messy unknown is an integral part of the process. We found freedom in releasing and relinquishing control.

✨ Our raw, true, alive, wild nature is in all of us. 

✨ Quiet is deeply healing.

✨ Painting side by side naturally brings feelings of closeness. That’s us 👆🏻painting rocks on the last night. A few brushes, some paints and a headlamp!

✨ Shared, meaningful and sometimes uncomfortable experiences are where it’s at for me right now.

Check out new dates for our Nov/Dec Process Painting Series.

Join us in October for Print What Matters: Value Cards with Mary G and our Make-Up Group and Drop-In.

See you in the studio!

In a workshop the other night, someone called herself an “art misfit” and my heart skipped a beat...Maybe I’m an art misfit too???

With some digging, I found an art misfit is anyone who has ever felt like they didn’t quite belong (in the art world). Maybe you’ve been told you weren’t good enough. Maybe you gave up creating because perfection, rules, or comparison stole your joy. Maybe you’ve felt too wild, too messy, too sensitive, too much, or not enough.

This studio is for the:
Believers who were never believed in.
Creatives who never felt artistic enough.
Wanna be’s who never got a chance.
Dreamers who lost their space to dream.
Artists who were told they had no talent.
Rulebreakers. Who break their own rules.

Because sometimes it’s the misfits that create the most magic ;)
