What people are saying:
I can't thank Victoria enough for the space and support to heal with other women through art, and fun." Michelle E 

Thank You for the great class Saturday.  I really did enjoy it and left feeling like I really did learn something about myself and letting go and to try to just be a bit more accepting and relaxed about who and where I am.  So thank you!!


Thank you so much for what you have brought to my life. It is the first time in almost 3 years I have found anything or anyone that brings me so much peace and happiness inside (except for the ocean, of course).

Would you like to have a creative practice in your life? Does judgement get in the way of you making art?  Or for that matter, do you find you judge everything you do including yourself and where you are in your life? Would you a like a creative practice to help you move past judgement, promote healing and bring joy into your life? Something to turn to when you are overwhelmed, stressed and/or just for fun!  Maybe you don't know where to begin. Yes, there are coloring books, but what if you want to learn to create from scratch?
