Mad Hatter Paint Party

My dear friend and artistic partner Rachel and I have started a weekly adventure in painting. We get to drink wine and translate paintings for people of all backgrounds to understand. And everyone gets to go home with a masterpiece of their own! It's been a pretty amazing experience so far. If you're interested in taking one of our classes please check us out at Eventbrite or on Facebook. And don't forget- I have crazy awesome stuff planned for the near future!!!

Rooted

-WIP Acrylic on canvas-

I'm really into the idea of healing my root chakra and being more grounded...and all of these lovely earthy ladies are coming out of my head and flowing all over the canvas!!

I've got so many amazing projects a buzzin' everywhere! The minute I set my faith and trust into the Universe things have been happening at an accelerated speed! GOOD things! 

My friend Rachel and I are hosting Mad Hatter Paint Parties every Wednesday at Arts on Main in my hometown Gastonia NC. Please stop by and see us! We have a new painting every week and we also both offer private classes.

I still need quite a few votes to be eligible for the grant being offered by Chase and Living Social... Just go to Mission:Small Business log in and vote for HappyTrees Studio. Please! You would really be helping me create an amazing community in my beloved hometown.!!

WishBIG Instructor- Miranda Hersey

Miranda Hersey

 Today's instructor in the Wish BIG E-camp is Miranda Hersey. A writer, artist, mother of five, coach, and teacher. Miranda is living the creative dream life. In her class she's going to be teaching us how to create a life map for the next 12 months. And how to use that map to help keep us on track in our creative/living endeavors. Something I need... discipline and structure in my creative life. I can't wait for her course! Miranda also has an amazing Blog- Studio Mothers. She's spoken with and interviewed some really talented creative mama's to find out how they make it all work together. Go check her out!

WishBIG Instructor- Amy Palko

Amy Palko

  I am really excited about the e-class with Amy Palko. She sounds fascinating, and she's delving into herself like I want to. She teaches women how to regain their sense of self- through self guided centering. I only know what I read at Amy's blog, but I can't wait for her class. And to read everything she's written. I have been on a soul search to find the real me for quite some time, and I believe she may be the one to help me find my path!

WishBIG Instructor- Chris Zydel

Chris Zydel

Chris Zydel is an ahhhh-mazzzing teacher, artist, creative soul, and encourager. She focuses on teaching you to release your hang ups of blank canvas and blocked creativity to encourage you to be free and to be yourself - free to create, and to help others realize their potential. She offers a ton of workshops and studio time. She also runs a Expressive Arts Teacher Training course- for women only, that I adore...and will one day attend. She has worked on enlightening herself and understanding herself in a way that I sorta envy and definitely aspire to. And then she shares her life lessons with all...MY DREAM!
