"I discovered that I LOVE line drawing"

Am soooo glad I took this class - discovered that I LOVE line drawing, especially botanicals. After this class, I have started incorporating botanical illustrations with ease in my lettering projects and I have copious notes from this class and Peggy's book with multitude of flowers & leaves to draw from :D I can't thank Peggy enough for her amazing classes and contagious enthusiasm.

"Hands down the BEST I've ever seen in terms of explaining"

I just got into art within the last few years. I have watched thousands of tutorial videos, literally.....thousands on every medium. Out of all of the tutorials I've watched with all different instructors with all different styles, you are hands down the BEST I've ever seen in terms of explaining what you're doing and the way you go about teaching.

"Wouldn't change anything"

I wouldn't change anything about this class. Loved every minute. I was really surprised how simplified the art was, but so classy at the same time. Will be using these techniques in the future. Thanks!!

"Really simplified the process"

OMG what an epic class. I really enjoyed this so much, it moves at a really comfortable pace. And there is so much extra detail you get, so many options are given and variants as to how you can do each drawing, which really simplified the process. I loved this so much!

"Helped me to just sketch and enjoy"

Peggy’s enthusiasm is so contagious that just following the course made me happy. Sketching is not photography will be my new mantra. Imperfection makes art interesting and although one can always make a prettier imperfection, her class helped me to just sketch and enjoy.

"Really broke things down"

I wish I'd taken this class before taking other ink botanical classes. I have a tendency of trying to capture way more detail than necessary, resulting in busy, messy-looking drawings, so I appreciated that this class really broke things down and taught me how to create a very simple, but aesthetically pleasing flower.

"Made the whole process very easy"

This is an absolutely fantastic sketching course. You made the whole process very easy, not intimidating at all and more importantly, showed how to have fun while sketching. Thank you very much!

"I am so happy with the result

This is my first attempt at urban sketching and I am so happy with the result! It felt free and loose and lovely.

"Explains not just what, but why"

She breaks down the basics of urban sketching, explaining not just what she is doing, but also why. It is the why that makes her method so clear and actionable. A great, short class. Thank you, Peggy.

I teach the way I learn

The most transformational courses are the ones that stir your passion and open doors

You see your art not just as a hobby, but as an integral part of who you are and who you can become. What you may lack is a roadmap to take you from where you are to where you yearn to be.

This is where I step in. My classes are designed to playfully guide you through the challenges of creativity, overcoming self-doubt and blocks with the wisdom I've gained over the years.

Your art deserves your best self.
And I'm here to help you become just that.
Too much freedom can cause a lack of stimulation for new ideas.

This means the creative mind needs active limitations

These programs run once a year, and trust me, you don't want to miss them.

6 weeks of guidance, workshops, and ongoing prompts

✔️ that will push you outside your comfort zone

✔️ help you create work that you LOVE

✔️ and most importantly, give you permission to create
