Nourish Your Artist Soul

A Creative Practice Is Nourishment FOR THE ARTIST SOUL

As a teacher with 25+ years of experience under my apron, I am devoted to helping artists like yourself:

Establish and deepen a studio practice -- one that sticks and feels juicy.
Identify and understand your unique visual language.
Strengthen your creative voice and take more risks.
Learn valuable techniques, tools, and approaches to art making.
Create art that makes your cells sizzle.

I help artists be artists.

And It All Begins With A Healthy Creative Practice !

DISSOLVE

ONLINE WORKSHOP | JAN. 25 -MAR. 1, 2023

In DISSOLVE, we will spend six delicious weeks swimming the deeper currents of our creativity by using the jewels of art materials themselves: watercolors and water-soluble crayons.

LEARN MORE!

In my eCourses, workshops, & classes you will...

Be invited to embody the truth of who you are as an artist and gain a solid understanding of the mystical and practical mechanics of your unique creative process. Expect to be challenged as well as celebrated, held, and inspired.

NEVER be asked to follow step-by-step instructions. In other words, your painting will NOT look like mine or anyone else’s. I saturate each workshop and retreat with heart-opening, insightful instructions on embodying the creative process and crafting your life as an artist. My programs are designed to get you painting deeper than ever before and loving the marks that are 100% your own!

Find yourself immersed in a supportive, warm environment to explore your creative process and express yourself openly. You’ll be heard, seen and loved for exactly who you are and how you’re showing up! All skill levels and backgrounds are welcomed. The only requirement is a true, sincere desire to Paint FEARLESS®!

TEACHING SCHEDULE

Kind words from my beloved students

Marlee Prestell

Connie has this way of knowing exactly what you need before you know you need it. After seven years of art education I have never come across an instructor like her before. She is my absolute favorite teacher. She teaches more than how to create beautiful works of art, you are taught how to be in the world as an artist.

Theresa Ratcliff

I have attended several classes and retreats with Connie Solara, and I can’t sing her praises loud enough! She is such a dynamic personality, you really have to experience her to understand! Connie is a remarkably talented artist, but she is also so much more. She is the most incredible teacher, leader, and gatherer of women that I have ever had the honor and privilege of working with.

Suzi Peetros

Connie is an expert at teasing out exactly what each person is seeking in their individual creative process. She provides a safe place to explore, dig deep, and nurture you in working through any personal creative blocks.

Jennifer Maroney

Connie is a nurturing and open-hearted teacher who gently guides you into a deeper understanding of your creative process, visual language and yourself.

Jackie Puntoriero

Connie has an amazing way of encouraging and allowing an unfolding. This unfolding supports a flow and a unique body of work that reflects the feminine and its place in the world.

Jenny Loughmiller

Connie’s personal genius is not only her beautiful art but the way in which she guides her students through the creative process. She is truly masterful. She created a safe, nourishing space to push and question and explore and feel. I left the experience with a richer sense of the “why” behind my art and a vision of where I’m heading next. I can’t thank her enough for that gift.
