You're in the right place

You didn't pick up a paintbrush to feel more pressure.

I know what it's like to stare at a blank canvas and feel like you need permission to make a mistake. So many of the artists I work with tell me the same thing: they love painting, but they're scared of getting it "wrong." Here's the truth. Getting messy isn't a setback. It's part of becoming the artist you're meant to be.

The artist pathway

Your progress, recognized every step of the way.

Every five classes you complete unlocks a new certificate and a badge for the next level. At the top levels, you'll also earn extras like the Color Theory Workbook, the Inspiration Diary, Photoshop 101 for Artists, a spotlight in the Yvette Gazette, and even a 1-on-1 hour with me.

Pull up a chair at the creative table.

Twice a month, we get together live on Zoom, not for a webinar, for a real conversation. We'll talk technique, creativity, licensing, business, and everything in between, with guest artists and friends along the way. Can't make it live? Every session is recorded and saved in the Academy so you never miss a thing.

Live sessions are Mondays at 9am Central. All sessions are recorded and always available.

For current students

Already one of my students? You don't start over. You get to start ahead.

If you've taken classes with me before, that work counts. When you join during our launch month, your course history will be reviewed and reflected in your Academy profile, so your Artist Status is accurate from day one.

Your past courses count toward your certification and status

FAQs

Will my past classes still count?

Yes. If you join during launch month, your prior course completion will be reviewed and reflected in your Academy profile so your recognition status is accurate from the start.

Every session is recorded and added to the Academy so you can access it anytime, there's no limited viewing window.

What if I'm brand new to painting?

You're in the right place. Courses are built for every level, and you'll start at Beginner Artist status the moment you join.
