Testimonials

Well, when was the last time you tried it? Let your hand glide freely across a page, unhindered by judgment or the voices of childhood mentors who said you weren't good enough? When was the last time you wrote yourself a little poem about the annoyingly long grocery line or drew a picture of how you felt after doing the dishes - just because? The more curious we become and the less judgment we have for our creative natures, the more whimsy and joy we invite in to our lives.

Virtual events, you're on your own. Time to dig through your closet to find those abandoned watercolors that are cracked like the Sahara.

Absolutely not. Ugly art is accessible to all, because it really doesn't matter what it looks like! I'm of the belief that everyone is creative, whether or not you've painted a picture in recent memory. Accessing that creativity is simply a matter of saying "yes" to whatever you want to do in the moment. No experience necessary!

Because of the nature of ugly art being a place for silliness, joy, and no expectations, I aim to make my workshops a safe container so you feel comfortable to share your experiences and your art. 

That said, you know your limits, and you are never obligated to interact beyond your comfort level.

If creating in a group feels too intimidating and you'd still like to explore your creativity to navigate the creative shame you're experiencing, consider hiring me for individual coaching!

Me too, bud. All the time. Making art when you have no idea what you're doing is terrifying. But I promise, you have so much inside you worth exploring!
