Hi, I'm Alyssa, the founder of Color & Unwind.
Creativity has always been a big part of my life. Over the years I've explored everything from music and songwriting to collage, coloring, design, and other creative projects. I've always been drawn to the idea that creativity doesn't have to be perfect to be meaningful.
The inspiration for Color & Unwind came from noticing how many adults wanted a creative outlet but felt intimidated by traditional art classes or believed they "weren't artistic." I wanted to create an experience that felt welcoming, relaxing, and accessible to everyone, regardless of experience level.
As a small business owner, I understand how easy it is to get caught up in busy schedules, responsibilities, and screens. Creating art—even in simple ways—can be a powerful way to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and have fun. That's what led me to start hosting beginner-friendly creative workshops focused on coloring, collage, and mixed-media projects.
What I love most about teaching is seeing people surprise themselves. Many guests arrive saying they aren't creative, only to leave with artwork they're genuinely proud of. Watching people relax, experiment, and connect with others through creativity is incredibly rewarding.
My workshops are designed to feel more like a creative night out than a traditional art class. I provide all materials, examples, guidance, and encouragement, while giving guests the freedom to create something uniquely their own. Whether someone is attending alone or with friends, my goal is for them to leave feeling inspired, refreshed, and proud of what they've made.
When I'm not hosting workshops, you'll usually find me working on new creative projects, creating hand-painted banners, writing music, or finding new ways to make art feel approachable and fun for everyday people.
