Classes Catered To Your Groups Needs and Interests
All of my workshops are designed to reflect and support the creative culture of your community. Whether it’s an art club, library, art center, or school, I tailor each session to the needs, interests, and energy of the participants. Expect flexible formats, inclusive teaching, and a creative atmosphere where everyone feels welcome to explore and make.
Painting with pastels that glide like butter.
January 22 | 10AM–3PM
Forget the chalky mess and harsh squeaks—this is a silky, painterly, dust-conscious pastel workshop designed for comfort and creativity. My students will learn blending, layering, and texture techniques to create glowing, expressive compositions. Great for beginners and experienced artists alike looking to rediscover this underrated medium in a whole new way.
Spend 5 hours with me in the studio learning the techniques I use to make my luscious pastel works. Leave with your work and finishing spray with instructions as these artworks may takeup to 24 hours to dry fully. Only 8 spaces are available so sign up before I sellout!

In this two-day workshop, I’ll guide you through one of my favorite creative processes—building luminous abstract paintings using large palette knives and acrylic color blocks. Together, we’ll explore how color, design, and a bit of spontaneity can transform a simple idea into something alive with energy.
We’ll start by creating underpaintings and experimenting with color combinations and compositional balance. From there, we’ll dive into the expressive fun of layering, blending, and embracing those wonderful happy accidents that happen when we let go of perfection and trust the process.
My goal is to help you create without fear—to discover how much joy and freedom can come from letting color lead the way. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just beginning, you’ll leave with a vibrant piece that feels truly your own and a fresh approach to your creative practice.
We will create in my Duluth Studio 5207 Peabody St Duluth, MN, 55804. If you are coming in from out of town and need lodging we highly recommend the Lake Superior Brewing Brewtel. They offer 1, 2, and 3 bedroom airbnb’s.
