THE ARTIST COLLECTIVE
Explore the Artist Collective
Your art. Your interests. Your creative journey.
One of the things I love most about the Artist Collective is that we all bring different experiences, interests, and ideas into the studio. Some of us love to draw. Others are drawn to painting, collage, or mixed media. Some have years of experience, while others are just beginning or returning to art after time away.
I've created the Artist Collective with all of this in mind.
Rather than asking everyone to follow the same lessons or work at the same pace, I've organized the membership into three creative pathways. Think of them as different ways to explore, learn, and discover what interests you.
There's no right place to begin, and you can move freely between them whenever inspiration strikes.
NO. 2 CREATIVE EXPLORATIONS
Follow what interests you.
Perhaps you're drawn to expressive portraits, abstract landscapes, beautiful florals, or the possibilities of collage and mixed media.
Creative Explorations brings together a curated collection of art courses organized by subject, making it easy to find something that sparks your curiosity.
Explore something new, revisit a favorite technique, or follow an unexpected direction. The choice is yours.

Art School Meets Social Club
Because art is even better when we share the journey.
One of my favorite parts of the Artist Collective is getting together for our live Zoom Art & Chats.
These relaxed, friendly gatherings let us connect with fellow artists, exchange ideas, ask questions, and enjoy a little creative time together.
Sometimes we'll explore the work of a master artist, share sketchbooks or works in progress, discuss materials and techniques, or talk about what's happening in our studios.
Think of it as gathering around a big studio table with creative friends. Bring your coffee, your curiosity, and whatever you're working on.
There's no pressure to share your work or even turn on your camera. You're always welcome to come, listen, and enjoy the conversation.
And if you can't join us live, you can revisit the recordings.
Make Art You Love
I hope that the Artist Collective becomes a place you return to whenever you need a little inspiration, a fresh perspective, or simply the joy of making art.
A place to explore new ideas, experiment freely, and grow more confident in your own artistic voice. There's no need to do it all, keep up with anyone else, or wait until your work feels perfect.
Begin with what interests you. Follow your curiosity. And most importantly, make art you love to make.
I'd love to welcome you into the Collective.
A creative home where artists can develop their practice, follow their interests, and enjoy being part of a community
Three Pathways to explore
Three ways to explore, all included in your membership.
No. 1 THE DEEP DIVE
Immerse yourself in the creative process.
For those times when you'd like to slow down, explore a subject more deeply, and spend meaningful time developing your art practice.
You'll find in-depth studies, including The Art of Practice and Four Studies in Art, along with other immersive courses that explore observation, composition, color, materials, and personal expression.
These experiences invite you beyond simply learning a technique and into the wonderfully unpredictable process of developing your own ideas.
NO. 3 STUDIO MOMENTS
A little inspiration goes a long way.
Not every creative experience needs an entire afternoon.
Studio Moments offers shorter lessons, creative exercises, and approachable projects for those days when you have a little time and simply want to make something.
Sometimes thirty minutes with your sketchbook is all it takes to discover a wonderful new idea.
