Absolutely. Permission Reset was designed with beginners in mind. You don’t need previous painting experience, formal art training, or even consider yourself an artist to take this class.

I’ll walk you through everything you need to know, step by step, while encouraging you to experiment and make the process your own.

And because you have lifetime access, there’s no pressure to keep up or get everything right the first time. Go at your own pace, pause, revisit a lesson, and come back whenever you need a creative reset.

Nope!

You absolutely do not need hundreds of dollars worth of paints, brushes, and fancy art supplies.

I believe you can make beautiful, expressive art with a surprisingly small collection of materials. I’ll give you suggestions for supplies to use, but I also encourage you to shop your own studio, use what you already have, and get creative with what you find around your house.

The goal is to make art, not build the world's largest art-supply collection. 😉

Absolutely.

Permission Reset isn't about learning how to paint from scratch. It’s about what happens when you stop trying to get everything “right.”

If you’re an experienced artist who feels stuck, overly cautious, perfectionistic, or disconnected from the joy of making, this class is an invitation to loosen up, take creative risks, and reconnect with your instincts.

I’ll share techniques, creative strategies, and some of the approaches I use constantly in my own professional painting practice, along with plenty of opportunities to experiment and discover your own way of doing things.

Permission Reset is a self-paced online class. Once you register, you’ll have your own private student account where you can access the class.

There are no assignments, grades, deadlines, or required schedule. No falling behind. No catching up.

The videos are pre-recorded, so you can watch them whenever you want, pause as often as you need, paint along with me, or simply watch first and come back to create later.

This is your creative practice. You get to set the pace.

If this is your first class with me, you’ll be prompted to create a password for your account. If you’re a returning student, your class will be added to your existing account when you register with the same email address.

Lifetime access.

You can return to the classroom and watch the lessons whenever you want, as many times as you wish.

“Lifetime” means the lifetime of the program. If a course were ever retired, you would receive plenty of advance notice so you have time to finish the class.

The videos are streaming only and are not downloadable.

You’ll be able to watch them within the classroom whenever you want, so before registering, please make sure you have a reliable internet connection and a device that can smoothly stream high-resolution video.

Yes!

Permission Reset includes access to a private community forum inside the classroom where you can share what you’re creating, ask questions, celebrate your experiments, and connect with other students.

I’ll check in regularly and answer questions there.

And please remember: you can always pause, rewind, and rewatch the lessons. Sometimes the best way to understand something is to see it twice!

Absolutely. And this is one of my favorite parts.

The private community forum gives you a place to share your paintings, see what other students are creating, ask questions, celebrate your creative wins, and realize that you're definitely not the only person who sometimes stares at a blank page wondering, “What the hell am I doing?”

Come share your experiments. There’s no need to make them perfect before you post them.

My teaching style is heart-centered, intuitive, playful, and very hands-on.

I spent two decades as a college educator, but my approach to art is intentionally different from a traditional academic art class. I’m a largely self-taught artist, and I teach from my own experience of developing an intuitive painting practice through experimentation, curiosity, and plenty of happy accidents.

You’ll see me creating in real time while I share techniques, creative strategies, and ways to work through those moments when you get stuck or start second-guessing yourself.

I’m much more interested in helping you develop your own creative voice than teaching you how to paint exactly like me.

Not exactly.

You’ll absolutely learn painting techniques, but Permission Reset is less about following a formula and more about learning to trust yourself while you paint.

There’s room for intuition, experimentation, symbolism, play, happy accidents, and changing your mind halfway through.

If you’re looking for highly technical instruction, academic-style teaching, detailed critique, or professional certification, this probably isn’t the class for you.

If you’re looking for a space to loosen up, experiment, make some beautiful messes, and rediscover why you wanted to make art in the first place...

Welcome. You’re in the right place.
