The Intuitive Art Circle

My classes are not about learning how to paint in a traditional sense, but about learning how to stay with what is arising in the moment and allowing it to take form.

We begin with simple grounding and awareness, then move into mark-making and painting in a way that is intuitive rather than planned. There is no pressure to perform or create something good. Instead, the focus is on presence, curiosity, and allowing the process to unfold.

Participants often find that this approach opens a more direct connection to their inner experience, which can be expressed through color, gesture, and form.
