There’s a moment in every workshop where the whole room shifts. Someone looks down at what they’ve made…maybe a painted gnome, a pine tree, or a mountain textured in clay, and you can see the spark land in them, the “Wow… I actually made this.”
That moment is why I do this. Because creativity is all about self-expression, connection and grounding. It’s a mental break we all need, especially in the dim, heavy months of winter.
And when people feel inspired and alive again, they show up better at work, at home, and in their own hearts.
All built around my signature style of whimsical forest magic, and calming nature-infused art that helps people breathe again.
Each workshop blends:
🌲 grounding nature elements
🎨 hands-on creativity
✨ lightness & laughter
🧘 a soft mental reset
🤝 team bonding that feels natural, not forced
Let me help you choose the project, and then I will bring all the materials and brew the magic.
Workshops start at $50 per person, with final pricing based on the project and materials chosen.

Come paint, sip some coffee, share stories, and carry a little light home with you.
Paint what moves you.
In this creative and nourishing workshop, you’ll bring a boho feather to life on canvas using color, intuition, and play. The feather stencil is pre-drawn for you, so there’s no pressure to “get it right” — you just choose the colors that speak to you and let the painting unfold.
This workshop is about expression over perfection, slowing down, and letting your hands follow what feels good.
You’ll leave with a finished statement piece that is expressive and uniquely yours — and that quiet, grounded feeling that comes from making something with your hands.
Workshop Dates:
Thurs March 12 6-8:30pm
Sat March 28 1-3:30pm
Thurs April 23 6-8:30pm
PS - The photos provided are only examples to inspire you. I will update the workshop feather stencil template in February.

Winter can feel heavy, with low light, and frozen mornings, but the mountains show us how beautifully things can shine under snow. This workshop is your chance to step out of winter’s fog and into creativity, colour, and calm.
You'll create a layered, tactile, mixed-media artwork of the Three Sisters, the iconic Canmore mountain trio. We’ll sculpt the mountain forms using lightweight clay, create peaks and ridges, then paint in vibrant, winter colours.
This process feels part sculpture, part painting, and completely unique. No two mountains will be the same—just like the people who love them.
Canvas Size: 12” x 4” (ready to hang)
What you’ll experience:
Carving and sculpting a 3D mountain form on canvas
Learning texture-building techniques for depth and movement
Painting the Three Sisters with your own mood, palette, and story
A relaxed, supportive studio atmosphere rooted in creativity and play
Come make the mountains, and then take them home.

Location: Rawson Lake, Kananaskis
Size: 8X10 (unframed)
Material: High quality print, 110 lb felt loop textured paper
Inspired from an amazing hike with my family to Rawson Lake in early October, where we were met with sunshine, rain, and the first snowfall of the season. It was spectacular to see the colours come alive and even more so to breathe in all that pine tree freshness. I just loved how the heaviness of the new fresh snow gently blanketed the pine branches. The little bit of mist hovering over the trees is magical, but most of all, I hope this piece captures that calm, still peaceful moment.
Tree Island Limited Edition Print
Inspired by my favourite spot at Two Jack Lake in Banff, this piece captures the magic of a little island, packed with happy pine trees. With clay-molded rocks you can ‘jump’ across in your imagination and a rainbow-hued sky full of wonder, it’s a little piece of the forest to bring home.
