personal art retreat ~ paper & light

These reflective one-on-one sessions are all about creating thoughtful, layered art at your own pace. You will follow your intuition, explore what brings you joy, and leave with work that feels meaningful and uniquely yours.

We will begin with a short chat by email or Zoom to sort out the practicalities (e.g., date/time, materials) and to shape a loose design for your session. You are also welcome to keep things open and exploratory. You will be provided with both reclaimed and new materials selected especially for you. I will prepare your own customized ephemera bundle and offer gentle support throughout the session, without pressure or perfectionism. After the session, I will send along a follow-up note with insights, resources, and/or prompts to sustain your creative momentum. And as always, I will be available to answer any questions that might arise after our session together.

A limited number of sessions are available now at introductory pricing.

This is an in-person session in Ottawa, Ontario. Each session includes:

• a 2-hour, in-person creative session designed just for you
• light planning via email or Zoom, leaving space for intuition & flow
• gentle guidance, with demos offered when helpful
• a custom ephemera bundle curated for your session
• use of studio tools & supplies ~ no need to bring a thing
• a thoughtful follow-up note with ideas, prompts, & reflections

When you register, you will receive an email with more information, and we will begin planning. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions at any time, or if you would like to explore ideas or dates prior to signing up!
