Why I’m Teaching at the Adventurous Artist Summit (And Why You Should Totally Join Me!)
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably been told at some point to “niche down” or “focus on one style” to be taken seriously as an artist. I’ve read this and heard this so much that I almost convinced myself that I had to pick a niche to succeed.
But what if you love all the things—painting, sketching, collage, mixed media, maybe even making your own art tools from scratch? What do you do then? Well, in my opinion you look for a tribe that loves all the same things you do.
You, my friend, are an adventurous artist—and I have something magical to share with you. A tribe of people who love the same things as you! All the things. And they are gathering here:
The Adventurous Artist Summit
June 25–26, 2025
100% Free to Attend
This is a two-day online celebration for artists who create from curiosity—not for clicks, trends, or perfection. It’s for those of us who want to make art for art’s sake, explore different mediums, and fall in love with the process again.
And guess what? I’m thrilled to be one of the 25+ teachers sharing our hearts, hands, and creativity with you!
Why This Summit Is So Special
This summit isn’t your average art workshop series. It’s a vibrant creative gathering where:
You can explore every medium your heart desires—from watercolor to ink, from collage to sketchbooks, and beyond.
You’ll get practical tips, dreamy demos, and creative prompts from an incredible lineup of multi-passionate artists (like yours truly).
You’ll discover how to stop chasing perfection and start making joyful, messy, meaningful art again.
You’ll receive free templates, discounts, and a cozy artist community that “gets” you.
Here’s a tiny peek at what you’ll experience:
Nature sketching & intuitive art
Art journaling, collage fodder, and field guide fun
Watercolor, ink, coffee painting, and even homemade supplies!
Creative mindset resets that make you fall back in love with your art
My Session: Creating Art Journal Fodder from Magazines, Craft Scraps and Paint
I’ll be teaching a session all about using up your scraps and creating magical fodder for your journals. Whether you’re new to art journalling or a longtime creative explorer, I promise it’ll be fun, freeing, and full of ideas to spark your next masterpiece.
This summit is about showing up for the joy of it—not for perfection or productivity. You don’t have to be “great” at art to enjoy making it. You just have to begin.
So come sketch with us. Paint with us. Try something new and fall in love with creating all over again.
Whether you’re in a rut or ready to level up your creativity, the Adventurous Artist Summit is your invitation to play.
Let’s make magic together!
With messy joy and inky fingers,
