Workshops and Classes

Imagine with Art workshops and classes give you the opportunity to step into the creative moment where intuition and freedom of expression take flight.

Sketching, painting and collage instruction are combined with meditation, movement and writing in a playful and supportive atmosphere.

Creative expression, healing and spiritual insight are emphasized over mastery of technique. No previous painting experience is necessary.

Art Journaling in the Muse Groups

  The Muse group is a laboratory to spark creative expression, an opportunity to treat yourself to a regular infusion of art play in a supportive group setting. Each session features a different painting or art technique which you can add to your repertoire - from textured collage to a variety of wet media painting techniques. Simultaneously you will learn an art practice which captures your thoughts, feelings, and intuitions in a playful visual format that you can keep as an ongoing book of your life.
