Sept 10, 2026, 3-5PM

SECURE YOUR SPOT

LET’S GET THIS RED ROCKS PARTY STARTED!

In the name of freedom and play, and in partnership with Brandi Carlile’s Looking Out Foundation, we’ll paint abstract art using acrylic paint and mixed media tools, and incorporating lyrics from the Brandi Carlile band.

Hosted at the Town Hall Collaborative, a women-owned, women-supporting queer bar and community space. I invited you to spend happy hour(s) with me letting loose, slinging paint, and having fun.

You’ll be gently guided and supported every step of the way and take home a moment that you created from the weekend!

During the workshop, you’ll experience:
🎨 Live painting demos with step-by-step guidance
🍷 A welcoming, community-centered atmosphere
🖌️ All the art supplies are provided - my fave paints, tools, and mixed media materials
✨ Meaningful connection with fellow music lovers and creatives
💃 A playful experience full of joy and self-expression

No Perfection." and "Just you, the paint, and what wants to come through."

No experience necessary!
Participants come from all walks of life, across cultures, identities, and creative paths, and everyone is warmly welcome here.

Haven’t picked up a paintbrush since childhood?
Perfect! You’ll fit right and and be gently guided to let go of the fear of beginning and dive into the intuitive painting process. There are no mistakes here, perfectionism is a trap, and the possibilities are endless. We’ll focus on the process and not the end result. While I'll share plenty of painting tips, techniques, and "rules", I'll also encourage you to break them all. There is zero judgement here and only good vibes!

Paint often?
Enliven your already established creative practice and discover how to tame your inner critic and release expectations so that you make more instinctual choices and create more freely. 

Come solo or with friends!
Some participants arrive solo, others come with friends or loved ones, and it doesn’t take long before the whole group feels like a supportive, inspiring community.

    “Joyful! Engaging! Full of spirit, energy, light, and happiness!

    This retreat was a gift that helped ignite the creative spark I was looking for. I leave wanting to learn more and ready to explore my next canvas. This class also made me reflect deep within my soul. ”

    Becky was amazing and led us through the process with a light and loving heart. I adored her workshop space, my retreat mates, and just the whole vibe.”

What to expect

Big brushes, bold moves, no rules

I’ve been a devoted Brandi Carlile fan for over 20 years, and bringing that music into a shared painting experience still feels deeply special and a little surreal. There’s something powerful about letting songs, stories, and brushstrokes meet in the same space.

This workshop is all about joy, play, and creative release. I’m expecting plenty of laughter, a bit of beautiful chaos, community connection, and maybe even some singing, dancing, and full-on creative freedom.

After last year’s completely sold-out Red Rocks workshop and two sold-out session as Brandi’s Mothership Festival in Mexico last year, it’s become clear how magical this experience feels when we create together. The openness, the energy, the willingness to show up fully, it’s something I never take for granted.
