Welcome to my creative space!
What began as a simple teaching tool for my high school art class back in 2008 has grown into something much bigger. It all started when I realized I had an overwhelming amount of paper resources - lesson plans, presentations, handouts, worksheets, and tests - and decided to organize everything in one accessible place.
Now, this site is an online hub for learning about art and the creative process, designed for anyone, no matter their age or artistic experience.
I'm thrilled to share my knowledge and skills to make art approachable, fun, and free for all. My full art curriculum is available at no cost. If you’d like to share or repost my lessons, all I ask is that you credit me.
Let’s make art together!

I'm excited to introduce a unique card collection featuring my whimsical bird drawings! If you’ve been following my Instagram, you’ve probably gotten to know and love these quirky bird characters—and now they’re ready to brighten your celebrations.
Each card is designed to bring a smile to your face and add a touch of humor to any occasion. Take a look at the collection and share some laughter with the people you care about!
You can find them soon on Amazon and Etsy
I’ve developed a comprehensive art curriculum for the classes I currently teach - and those I’ve taught in the past. These lesson plans are packed with step-by-step instructions, helpful images, presentations, worksheets, videos, materials lists, learning targets (yes, they’re important!), and so much more.
Best of all, it’s completely free for everyone to use! All I ask is that you credit me by including a link to my site when sharing or using the materials. Happy creating!

This is an exciting new project I’ve just started!
For the past 25 years or so, I’ve been designing my own Christmas cards - you can explore some of them here.
The “bird character” began as a fun doodle to relieve stress, and after sharing them on Instagram, they quickly became a favorite. Now, these quirky birds have found their way onto my card designs!
You can purchase the cards here and share a little joy (and humor) with your loved ones.
One of my largest project is the "Art of Coloring" resource—a go-to hub for all your coloring needs! Whether you're looking for tips, tricks, or inspiration, this is the ultimate place to explore and expand your coloring skills.
I’ve already published several coloring books featuring a variety of art styles, and alongside these, I offer free tips and techniques to help you master the art of coloring. These resources are available to everyone right here.
The goal of the "Art of Coloring" is not just to share insights on using different coloring media, but also to provide guidance on selecting colors, combining techniques, and elevating your coloring process to the next level.
