What students are saying

Feedback like this makes my heart grow faster than any flower could 😍

I’m Peggy, and creatives like you are exactly who I design classes for.

When I first wanted to develop a practice of making art, I quickly discovered that it certainly wasn’t without its challenges, and the journey to find an approach I’d be consistently happy with took a bit of time.

When I began infusing these practices into my own journey, I found that at the end of my creative sessions, I was more proud of what I'd done and especially more connected to my pieces.

I'm thrilled to share these wins with you, so you can experience them too!
