Meet Jackie
Fall in love not with WHAT you create but with the process of HOW you create.
It’s time to make the kind of art you fall in love with — No more blank canvas paralysis or creative blocks — just the pure joy of bringing your artistic vision to life!
I believe that there’s no *perfect* way to do art.
Life is too short to not enjoy the things that we do.
Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I was always drawing, painting, or crafting something. Art was my joy, my escape, and my way of expressing myself. I dreamed of going to art school and pursuing a creative career.
But like many of you, I grew up hearing that art wasn't a "practical" career choice.
Despite my passion, I shelved my dream of art school and opted for a more "sensible" path in retail management and marketing.
For years, I navigated the corporate world, started a family, ran a successful specialty finishing business, and even started and scaled an online coworking space (fun fact: I was one of Zoom's original users!)
I believe creativity can be for everyone — no experience necessary.
Hi, I’m Jackie!
BUT, there was always a nagging feeling that something was missing.
As I began to experiment and play, I realized something important: I wasn't focused on creating masterpieces—I was in love with the process itself.
And that's the heart of what I do now. I'm not here to teach you how to be a "great artist." I'm here to show you how to fall in love with creating.
Whether you're a retiree looking for a new hobby, someone who's always believed they weren't "creative," or an experienced artist feeling stuck, my approach is all about how creating makes you feel.
While unpacking my art supplies after TEN years, I felt a surge of joy I had not experienced in a very long time.
Fast-forward to 2021...
Your creative journey is uniquely yours, and I'm here
When I'm not in my studio, you'll find me playing pickleball (yes, I LOVE it!), traveling, or spending time with my husband, three grown kids, and grandchild here in beautiful Newport Beach, California.
I love every bit of it — especially the part where I get to share my passion for creativity with you.
Because here's the truth: You can create art and fall in love with it, even if you've never had any training.
to help you embrace it,
Imperfections and all.
So, are you ready to paint some papers and rediscover your joy?
I can’t wait to support you!
— Jackie
