Online Art Courses
“I couldn’t recommend working with Desiree enough! Her method of teaching is so approachable and intuitive and appropriate for all skill levels or no experience at all! She is a kind hearted teacher who truly guides those participating into an experience in the present moment. What I loved about her workshop was that I felt so full, grounded, loved, and hopeful upon completion. Take her workshops if you have the opportunity!”

The Empress Tarot - Online Painting Workshop
Explore creativity, intuition, and sacred symbolism through an intuitive painting inspired by The Empress archetype: Creatrix, Mother, nurturer, and symbol of beauty, creativity, abundance, and our connection to the earth.
In this self-paced workshop, I'll guide you step-by-step through my intuitive acrylic painting process, from layering color and intention to incorporating meaningful symbols and creating your own expressive portrait.
No art experience is needed. Your Empress doesn't need to look like mine. This is an invitation to explore what The Empress means to you and allow your own Creative Wisdom to guide the process.
Rise Above Motherhood:
A Transformational Painting Challenge
Motherhood is a journey of love, growth, and challenges. As a full-time home educator and professional creative, I understand the daily demands and the need for self-care. That's why my dear creative colleague, Whitney Freya, and I co-created this course, to invite you to explore the healing and therapeutic benefits of art in nurturing your maternal soul.
Imagine taking a break from your busy schedule to immerse yourself in a world of colors, textures, and emotions. I’d like to offer a safe space for you to reconnect with your creativity, recharge your energy, and experience the healing power of creativity.
Invest in yourself and your well-being. Embrace motherhood with a renewed sense of purpose and passion through art. Start your journey toward healing, growth, and creative fulfillment.

Over three weeks, you'll create your own acrylic mandala painting while exploring color, texture, intuition, and the freedom to create without needing to get it “right.” No art experience required.

“Desiree is the Real Deal. Intuitive, kind, patient, and encouraging. Her workshops are a blissful ocean of support, insight and practical art skills, filled with waves of grace and joy. I proudly display my paintings and feel so much happiness each time I see them. I was scared to death of "art" and thought I was unable to do it, but Des lovingly guided and walked with me through my fears and I am forever grateful for her workshops and for her presence in my life.”
