According to the World Health Organization, "Art can help us to emotionally navigate the journey of battling an illness or injury, to process difficult emotions in times of emergency and challenging events. The creation and enjoyment of the arts helps promote holistic wellness and can be a motivating factor in recovery." (1)

Workshops & Courses
Our courses help you explore creativity and develop technical skills in a fun, supportive environment. My goal is to inspire you to create art freely, without pressure or expectation. Let's create, express, heal, and play, making art from the soul.
​
Through these methods, you can learn to paint or draw any subject engagingly. This practice promotes presence, flow state, and meditation, benefiting mind, body, and spirit.

​
3 HR WOMEN'S ART CIRCLES
A beautifully curated experience offering guided meditation to awaken all the senses, somatic movement to loosen the body, heart-opening herbal tonics or cacao, nourishing charcuterie grazing board, judgment-free community + connection, and a simple guided painting with the options to paint from still life items like fruits and flowers or abstract.
*All supplies provided / All Experience Levels
​
4 HR INTENSIVE INTRO TO PAINTING & DRAWING
An intensive workshop designed to dive deep into the fundamentals of painting & drawing alla prima style using still life or landscape, incorporating NIA's holistic method that blends philosophical & scientific contemplation.
​
​
3 HR PAINT & CHILL WORKSHOP
A fun, inspiring take on the "paint & sip" trend, but more intentional. Beautiful aesthetic set up, specially curated for any personal event: think pre-wedding ceremony (bachelorette parties), birthday parties (all ages), retreats, women's circles, anniversaries, team building events, & more!
​
*Customize to your liking with the options of our holistic features: herbal heart-opening elixirs, charcuterie grazing board, sensory awakening, and various painting options. ​
