The Story Behind the Membership

We are born with an inherent  ability to  create, to build.  We begin life being handed items to stack, knock down, line up, cut and color.  As our brain develops we begin to realize our power to create.  From that earliest stage of life we are handed crayons, chalk and paper or sidewalk.  We begin with incoherent markings to identifiable images.  Random color choices to very deliberate.  

As we color our way into youth, we begin to see the reaction from others when they can identify what it is we are creating - a house from blocks or a house with a family on paper.   The acknowledgement for this ability to translate onto paper what we see and experience becomes the standard that we carry through life.  How well can we create images that are REALISTIC?  This is where the creativity can stop.   This is where a false belief  begins.


Fast forward to Primary school, the ability to create realistic images is celebrated, while the child using shapes to represent people is not celebrated.  Add  to this the grading that occurs.  The abstract thinker is asked to try harder and given a poorer grade and the child with the stick figures and orange skin is given a smiling face and  a higher grade.  

The judgment we suffer and the false belief that we accept then, we use for our life.  For the remaining years of school we openly  claim that we are not talented, that so & so should be nominated to do the art portion of the report etc.  The saddest part of all this is everyone agrees.  Children are not equipped  yet to say, "hey, it is intentional that my family drawing is represented by swirls, dots and smudges."  

Now, as an artist I realize there are design guidelines, elements of art, principles of art  and styles.   I will more than introduce and provide lessons based on these.  But, there are also, trailblazers, creators,  and free thinkers that throughout history have done and gone outside the lines, mixed mediums, heck, some even created mediums.  Extreme and fearless.  


As time has allowed me to  'circle back' into art full time, I have had the privilege to teach students of all ages and stages.  One truth always seems to exist.  The truth is, that there is a false belief that they can't do   art or have significant barriers in one or more areas of art.   

I have made one constant statement in my classes which is there are no mistakes in art.  As long as you are giving it your best, there is no wrong turn.

If you are reading this and memories of childhood stir up, you may want to take a moment and tell your younger self that you are amazing at art, that your marks on a page are just as wonderful as the child's next to you.  That all the grades and comments were one persons opinion and not your judge and jury.     
Let it go!

I was lucky in life, I had parents who allowed and supported my love of art outside of school.  I was however, asked to move on from it when entering college.  For the last 20+ years I have been bouncing around from one creative venture to the next.  I have been searching and stumbling my way back to art full-time.  I know I am not the only one.     


In order to live my purpose I have landed on the opportunity with this membership to reach, teach and serve all who are interested in art. 

I want to continue to encourage and instruct the little ones, the primary school age kiddos by showing them there is not only more to art than what happens in the 30 minutes once a week at school. I want to teach them the mechanics and guidelines so they can explore independently, create originally with confidence. 

I want to encourage artists of early adulthood that art can be a source of income and livelihood.  It is not just a hobby or an elective.  This group is on a cusp in life.  Those who spent every extra minute in the art department in High school are now being asked to walk away from the very thing that made school tolerable, in order to 'fit' into pre-formulated life/college template. 

Art is relevant, important and valuable.  It is a marketable skill and talent.  Art is everywhere! 

Instead of dumbing down art  to those younger students, I teach every student the foundations, the reason why, the point of doing something, the base for their work to start originally.   These younger ones have the ability to meet the project at their own point of entry.  They amaze me time and again at their ability to grasp concepts, interpret the prompt and create amazing work.


This membership will provide any artist at any stage of life or experience, the foundations of art, discussions and projects in art and with these the courage to create originally.    The membership provides step by step videos  that can be paused, rewound, or 2x'd if that's your speed!

What this membership does
not provide is me on  hyper-speed creating   art without  explanation.  This is not a paint party.  Youtube and other social media sites are filled with artists creating., not instructing.  If you've ever tried to follow along  you know that it is near impossible.  Beyond time constraints there is typically no discussion or explanation    as to what, why or how.    These are free, for a reason.

For those of us who have stuffed our passion and interest in art for any number of years, this membership is for you also.  As I stated before, the foundations, lessons and prompts are meant to bring you into and have personal success in art,  this is not a program designed around or for a particular age bracket.  The lessons translate individually for each of us.  

The amazing Ripple Effect on our own lives through creativity in art is unstoppable, the Ripple Effect on others lives is unfathomable.  We have an obligation to ourselves to live our best life.  I want to serve whomever is open and ready  to begin, continue    or begin again their pursuit of being the best artist they can be.
