About the art instructor:

I am a Vancouver-based artist and educator. Most of the time I spend painting in my Lougheed Studio or preparing for the next exhibition.
With over two years of experience teaching beginners to start drawing, I’m confident you'll create a wonderful art piece with me!

My mission:

Art was a natural part of my life since an early childhood — so natural that, for a long time, I didn’t really think about what it means to live without it. When I started teaching, I worked with all age groups: children, teens, youth, seniors. And over time, something very important became clear to me.

Most of the adults who came to my classes weren’t looking for professional art education. They weren’t trying to build portfolios or become full-time artists. What they were truly searching for was something deeper — a way to breathe, to reconnect with themselves, to experience joy, playfulness, and presence again.

I saw people arrive at their first class a little unsure, even afraid. And then I watched what happened when they picked up a brush. Art became a tool for them to relax, express emotions they hadn’t had words for, challenge their minds in new ways, and rediscover parts of themselves they had forgotten.

Working with children had already shown me something powerful: every child is naturally creative, brave, and full of ideas. But as people grow older, that courage slowly fades. They learn to silence their creativity, to follow rules, to avoid mistakes. I want to provide them the resources to get back what belongs to them - the natural talent they once had as little girls and boys — help people to find a way to return to that fearless, imaginative version of themselves.

That’s why I built my company around painting nights and creative experiences for adults with zero experience. Because this isn’t just about learning how to paint. It’s about giving people permission to be free again. It’s about unlocking something that was always theirs.
