Creativity has always been a big part of my life, but what I love most is sharing it with other people. I’m the owner of Green Envy, a creative studio and shop in Manchester, New Hampshire, where I’ve had the pleasure of welcoming hundreds of people through our doors to paint, make, experiment, and discover their own creativity.
Over the years, I’ve taught a wide variety of workshops, from watercolor and mixed media to sea glass, mosaics, jewelry, and other creative projects. I especially love introducing people to something they’ve never tried before and watching that moment when they realize, “I can actually do this!”
That’s really why I love teaching. My classes aren’t about being a perfect artist. They’re about slowing down, trying something new, connecting with other people, and leaving with something you’re genuinely proud to say you made yourself. Beginners are always welcome, and I try to create an atmosphere that is relaxed, encouraging, and fun.
I’m also incredibly proud that Green Envy was recognized in the Hippo Best of 2026 Awards, receiving Best of the Best – Place to Create Art, as well as Best Local Studio and Best Local Shop. Those awards mean so much to me because they reflect the creative community that has grown around the studio.
Whether you come with friends or arrive on your own, I want you to feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. Bring your curiosity, give yourself permission to play, and I’ll help with the rest.
