Presentations & Workshops

Each of us has a gift — the ability to create. We apply this aptitude to countless avenues of our daily life, but are generally hesitant to recognize it through artistic modes of expression.

— Heather D. Holmlund

The inspiration to create is all around us. Our senses are stimulated by music, words, people, our environment and countless other factors. By illustrating your original & unique inspiration through guided instruction, practice and encouragement, creation becomes art. My purpose is to guide students & adults alike through the process of visual creation where they will find great satisfaction & confidence along the way.
