Why You Should Take This Class:

A consistent creative habit is essential for having a thriving career as a working artist. Building your creative endurance through a daily sketchbook practice will help you generate more ideas, learn how to show up even when creativity doesn’t strike, and create a body of work that is always improving and that you are proud of.

I am a licensed artist with my art on fabric, wallpaper, crafting materials, gift items, stationery and wall art. I have been creating art daily (or nearly daily) since 2021 and have used my sketchbook practice to generate licensed artwork and surface pattern designs. This class will show you a peak behind the curtain of how I work and how I continue to come up with ideas and invest in my creativity day after day.

Who This Class is For:

This class is very beginner friendly, and requires no computer software. It is intended for individuals looking to invest more time in a creative practice to build endurance for lifelong creativity. It is particularly suited for people who strive to develop careers as working artists and designers. The exercises all use analog materials and techniques, and can be a great introduction to developing a physical sketchbook practice.
