The seasons shift faster than you can blink, and sometimes it feels like summer slips away before you’ve even caught your breath! That’s where create and ground comes in -- a mindful, creative reset to help you slow down, notice the world around you, and reconnect with yourself through art.
Each Sunday morning in September, you’ll gather virtually with fellow creatives for a short meditation class followed by an online art class designed to spark presence and play. With nature-inspired prompts as your guide, you’ll ease into mindful activities that let you explore how to practice mindfulness in a way that feels imaginative and fun! Think of it as equal parts meditation, mindfulness exercises, and art-making -- all rolled into one supportive community space.
No critiques, no pressure, just space to flow. Whether you’re a painter, a doodler, a poet, or someone who hasn’t touched art supplies since middle school, this online art course invites you to show up exactly as you are. You’ll leave each session with your own creative responses -- and plenty of inspiration to keep experimenting on your own!
So brew your favorite morning beverage, bring your art supplies, and log on. Your kitchen table just became your studio, your sanctuary, and your new favorite place to practice mindfulness!

I believe everyone has a creative side, and my workshops are all about helping you find it. As a professional painter with over 10 years of experience in watercolor, gouache, and oil, my work has been shown in galleries, published in books, and my first solo show debuted in 2023 in New York City. While my studio practice is a huge part of my life, my passion truly lies in teaching. I have taught adult painting workshops throughout NY State and City, in Vermont, and online.
My workshops create a fun, welcoming community where you can explore painting without pressure. As a self-taught painter, I know firsthand what it's like to start from scratch. I also know how important it is to have a safe, supportive, and fun environment while playing with paint! For this reason, many of my workshops do not focus on technique, but rather using paint to connect with nature and yourself.
If you've ever felt discouraged with your skills or worried you're not "good enough, " yet you are so excited about the idea of creating, you'll fit right in. I love empowering adults to find that sense of childlike wonder and embrace the fun of the creative process. I truly believe there is an artist within all of us! If you're ready to get excited about painting, I'm here to be your supportive guide.
