"I now look at paintings…mine and others…in a new way. Too many art classes simply teach/reflect the style of the teacher in place of core principles and encouragement to craft one’s own style."
-Jan Patterson


I completely understand - that blank canvas can feel overwhelming! But here's the good news: I've developed a step-by-step approach that takes the mystery out of starting abstracts. And those muddy colors? That's actually one of the easiest problems to solve. I'll show you exactly what to do to avoid mud!

Is this you?

"I have no idea how to start an abstract. And when I do, I just get a jumbled mess of muddy colors."

I hear you - and you know what? Some of the most groundbreaking artists never went to art school. Art is about expressing yourself, not about credentials. I started as a self-taught artist too, and that's exactly why I know what tools and techniques will help you develop your unique style. The only 'permission' you need to paint is your own desire to create.

"I didn't go to art school; who am I to paint?"

Many of us started as representational painters - I did too! That's actually a strength, not a weakness. I've developed specific techniques that help you naturally transition from realistic to abstract work, letting go of perfectionism while keeping your unique artistic voice. The shift feels surprisingly natural once you know the right approach.

"I'm a representational painter and I have NO idea how to loosen up and express my own voice. HELP!"
