I'm Anne from Foxglove Hollow Studio

I have been an artist since i was a little girl growing up on a dairy farm on Vancouver Island. I now teach classes, online, in person and through video tutorials from my studio, Foxglove Hollow. Over the years I have taught thousands of new artists of all ages and the unifying thread through the years has been this:

Somewhere between childhood and being a grownup many seem to lose confidence. If we actually do venture out of our comfort zone we expect to be experts immediately. We have lost the ability to simply enjoy the act without questioning the process, judging the outcome, and even worse, comparing ourselves to others.

I want you to think of your inner child.

Speak with kindness and encouragement and that child in turn will reward you with the joy that can be found in trying something new, no matter if it is learning an instrument, writing a book or painting a picture.

My tutorials have been designed for maximum impact with minimal challenge. I carefully design and pare the paintings down to easy steps for even the most inexperienced artists. You will learn simple techniques and unusual tricks using minimal tools and supplies. I take the fear out of trying something new and guide you to create something you will be proud of.

There is nothing like success to inspire confidence!

Consider me the training wheels on your first bike. I’m here to show you where your feet go, help you keep your balance and show which direction will take you home. It wont be long until you feel confident enough to explore and ride on your own!

My name is Anne and I am inspiring the reluctant artist.
