Bountiful Blooms
August 24, 2024 In Person
August 31, 2024 Online (Zoom)
1:30 – 4:00 PST • $36
University studies show that flowers improve emotional health by increasing happiness, decreasing stress, and boosting energy. When you’ve been given flowers, do you remember the joy you felt, or when you’ve given flowers, the smile on the recipient’s face?
As with the healing power of flowers, making art lowers stress and anxiety; it also raises self-esteem and self-confidence, calms and relaxes. It’s not about the end product but the actual process of making art that is so beneficial. And it’s just plain fun! In my classes, you cannot get it wrong!
In Bountiful Blooms you’ll create your own painted bouquet of colorful blooms, either for yourself or as a gift for someone else. Using real flowers as inspiration or your own imagination to create unique blooms, I’ll show you step by step how to express yourselves and the essence of flowers on canvas.
The in-person workshop will be held on Saturday, August 24, 1:30 – 4:00 p.m., $36 in Mountain View, CA. All supplies will be provided.
The Zoom workshop will be held on Saturday, August 31, 1:30 – 4:00 p.m. PST, $36. A supplies list will be provided. Zoom registrants will receive a recording of the class to view at your convenience if you weren’t available on the workshop date or to review what we covered in class.
You don’t have to be artistic or even know how to paint. If you have a desire to express yourself through art, you’ll find encouragement and welcome within our circle.
All creative ability levels from beginner to experienced are welcome. You will find jewels of wisdom within and discover a deeper sense of the amazing soul you are.
What Students Say:
I loved your class. I was completely engaged…and felt stronger, more confident and mobilized afterwards. Your teaching style is gentle, but powerful. You gave enough instruction but allowed our creativity to show through. Art from the inside out is both healing and provocative.

I love taking classes with you. This is my third painting class with you, and each class gives me a new perspective. I must say that you make the arena a safe place. So, I am willing to get out there on the Edge and see where it will take me. Thanks to you, I can be brave. As for taking more classes with you, absolutely!!!!
