A low-pressure, high-play painting hour. This is not a paint and sip or still life class, it’s about painting from within. Come as you are, grab your favorite supplies, and explore color, gesture, and mood. I offer simple prompts and intuitive guidance to help you loosen up and discover your own abstract style. Absolutely no experience needed.

What to expect:

• Short warm-ups to get out of your head

• Guided prompts for expressive, intuitive painting

• Tips on color, composition, and letting go of “perfect”

• A relaxed studio vibe. Drop in and make at your own pace

What to bring:

• Your favorite materials if you have some (no oil paint, please). I’ll also have brushes, paints, water cups, and paper available.

• Clothes you don’t mind getting paint on

• A rag or two

All levels welcome — just bring yourself and a willingness to play. I hope to see you there!
