Hi, I’m Susan
And this is why I want to paint with you.

I discovered watercolors during a particularly challenging time in my life. While recovering from a bad flare of my chronic kidney disease, I was looking for something to distract me from stress and anxiety. I stumbled on some old watercolor supplies and quickly realized that it had been over 10 years since I made any kind of art.

I started with my old supplies and timidly painted something unimpressive. But I was hooked. I became obsessed with figuring out which supplies to buy and how I could improve. When I was painting I forgot all about the other things I was dealing with at the time.

I’ve heard too many times from beginners how much they want to paint, but don’t know how to get started or don’t believe that they are artistic enough. I’m creating this community because I believe in the power of having a creative outlet.  I’m here to help you get inspired, encourage your artistic side, and help you create a consistent creative practice that will bring you more joy and fulfillment. I’m here to guide you - so let’s paint!
