let me guide your
creative journey
i wanna compassionately support your creative craft and help you break free from harmful tech tools.
I guide folks through traps that get in the way of art. My work transforms beginner artists into skilled craftspeople who work with their hands, bodies, and the beauty around them.
The goal is to help you embrace your inner artist so you can persistently bloom in your practice!
now in my life:
I just launched a Patreon for my youtube channel and with it — this new fun thing called emergent classroom.
imagine if art school was super affordable, centered the students, and rooted all lessons in compassion.
I’ve started spring with a bunch of new podcast experiences you should go listen to here:
are you ready to
rewild your mind?
our best ideas come from time spent in nature because we are nature.
the hikers way is my pod-class to help you develop a practice of creative intuition and guidance. you can listen to while out in nature to truly re-wild your mind in tune with the cycles of the earth.
you’ll find your seasonality, identify bloom periods and fallow periods, and rewild your creativity away from tech thieves
ai- free guarantee
at no point during your work with me will i be utilizing any form of generative ai. human creativity is too precious to offload to a chat bot. everything i create for you will be crafted through my 14 years of teaching expertise with your human experience in mind.
wanna collect some art?!
6”x8” Print of a watercolor (gouache) painting of a gull perching on granite rocks at Dusk in Monterey. This painting I made shortly after a plein air workshop in Carmel and I was super inspired by the light!
Each print is made with a special process of pigment ink printing on cotton paper -- with a gorgeous watercolor paper texture like the original.
All prints are made in Oakland and signed on the back by me! Your print will arrive wrapped with an acid-free backing to keep it safe before framing.
Loved my Lichen Live Oak painting, but on a tight budget? I’ve got you!
Each print is made with a special process of pigment ink printing on cotton paper -- with a gorgeous watercolor paper texture giving it the look and feel of an original. This pigment ink makes it more long lasting than ink printing done with dyes.
All prints are made in Oakland, California and signed by me! Your print will arrive wrapped with an acid-free backing to keep it safe before framing.
