Critterfied! a class for creative critter lovers

Critterfied is a class where we play through loose and fun techniques bringing quirky critters to life. The class includes pre-recorded videos that are available at your convenience as soon as you register. 

What I love about this class is we don’t know what critters will develop from abstracted backgrounds and loose play. We’ll be working our way through several projects that highlight different techniques I use in many of my paintings. Your creations will be much different than mine. My hope is always that you’ll find several nuggets in class that move you to another level in your creative journey.

Not only will we develop critters who don’t exist in real life, we can also gain inspiration from our furry family members. Join me in this fun and relaxed class where perfection is not required, or even desired. We are here to have fun and enjoy our time creating new works of art.
