I hear it all the time at my Paint FEARLESS® retreats — students confessing their deep desire to paint looser, go bigger, and show up more daring and brave as artists.

This desire can NOT be quenched by simply using a larger substrate, purchasing a big-mamarama brush, or scribbling like a mad woman. These things just chip-away at the surface.

As artists, what we are actually longing for is to live, breathe, and create in the glorious fire that is our Artist Soul. This takes a willingness to go deeper.

To Paint FEARLESS® and have a daring & brave creative practice means:

Bringing my whole SOUL to my practice.
Ruthlessly TRUSTING myself.
Embracing what I LOVE wholeheartedly.
Owning my VOICE — NOT worrying about making things pretty or pleasing others.
Following my INTUITION & taking creative risks.
FEELING more, thinking less.
Welcoming a cell sizzling SENSUAL creative experience.

As artists, this is a practice that lasts a lifetime.

With each body-of-work we create we unfurl further into who we truly are as artists and practice letting-go of what's familiar and comfortable.

In Daring & Brave we will spend six sacred weeks embracing and celebrating who we are as artists right-here-right-now, expand tenderly past our edges, and practice embodying who we are daringly and bravely becoming as artists.

We will do this through creative exercises, guided visualizations, supported painting practice, juicy discussions, and other inspiring shenanigans.

In Daring & Brave we will explore going bigger, bolder, and being more authentic and true.
