Class Description

Waking sleeping beauty is a guided art project. I share my favorite practices that picked me up from a deep dive of loosing a sense of myself after a traumatic event. 

I have had the honor of teaching this class to Navy Seals, Police Officers, and Counselors, men and women over the past few years. I have seen incredible ah-ha moments of people seeing their worth intertwined with the heart of their art. 

The focus will be a beautiful mix that honors your spirit, nurtures your mind and nourishes your soul. You’ll meet the obstacles on your path, dance around them and create a painting that is all young just for you.

Living with art that pays tribute to you and your beauty will be a reminder to reflect and connect with yourself.
