Develop and Expand YOUR Creative Voice!

Join me for inspiring demonstrations, lectures, encouragement, and practice. You'll learn how to coax hints of reality from an abstract background, how to control values and colors for emotional emphasis, and how to suggest rather than delineate.
You'll explore working intuitively, responding to what shows up, working in a series, mixing and utilizing neutrals for softer, more ethereal abstracts.

We'll address attitudes of confidence, procrastination, vulnerability, curiosity, courage, play, inspiration, intuition, your mean critic, metaphor, symbolic elements, competition, marketing, your belief systems, finding balance, and more! 

Learn to Learn from YOUR ART. 

Joan is exceptionally gifted in helping students gain more freedom in the creative process and discover their unique artistic voice. She believes people are more open to learning and inspiration when having fun. Her workshops are playful and lighthearted. Many approaches and techniques will give beginners encouragement and confidence, while more advanced students will benefit from Joan's insightful solutions to their artistic challenges.​

“We do not want merely to see beauty... We want something else which can hardly be put into words - to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it..” ―C.S. Lewis
