“Sometimes we are given the opportunity to make a brave choice. A choice to surrender the things that have been great, in exchange for greater. It’s here a soulful lively boom-boom, heart-out-of-the-chest, tears-on-cheeks, “I’m alive” kind of passion lives. It lives just around the corner from surrender’s bend.”
— Tess Guinery The Apricot Memoirs
FAQs
Are your classes online? Do you have to register by a certain date?
At this time, our classes are online, pre-recorded, and can be watched at your own time and pace. I offer early registration pricing prior to release of a class, then the classes go up in price. To be the first to know, please join our newsletter!
What is your Facebook Community?
Great question, we have a community group page on Facebook where I will share tips, prompts, techniques and lessons. This is a great space to connect with other artists and share your work.
Do you have an art degree?
Yes! I graduated from University of Colorado with a double major - BFA & BA in Fine Arts and Art History and an emphasis in digital arts. Upon graduating, I followed a career in graphic design for over ten years and made my way back to my fine art. BUT….I don’t think you need a degree to be a good artist ;) Practice, hard work, and curiosity will take you just about anywhere you want to be!

What is the difference between your Art Passports classes and your Mini Classes?
Our Mini Classes are condensed and shorter in length, think enough time for a layover or long lunch break. Through these minis, we will study a specific subject matter or medium.

We will study the people, culture, lands, and more of a country or place all in one class.

I am just starting out in art, are your classes suited for my level?
