Chrissy now understands the path to her best work
Nancy gives the gift of soul work with intuitive abstract art, moving through fear and into the present moment with joyful experimentation. I now understand the path to my best work, to be able to paint with an expressive aliveness, and am deeply grateful for Nancy’s genuine care and individual attention. The content is presented sincerely and simply, and is deeply motivating.

Betty found her own style
Not only did I learn about the fundamentals of creating abstract art, but I learned them in a way that was deeper and easy to understand. The weekly lesons, videos, and assignments helped me hone in on techniques through practice. The FB form was an amazing group of supportive artists and Nancy’s feedback, guidance, and support were invaluable. It’s been the best online course I have taken and completed!
~ Betty Franks Krause
Marian incorporated painting with her yoga practice
The Artist’s Journey Course Work and Nancy’s abiding trust and encouragement are the cornerstone of my artistic development. Watching her simultaneously paint and teach is captivating and spellbinding. I’ve travelled from nascent “yeah kind of” artist to one who races to her studio, eager to spend time painting, experimenting, exploring, allowing, and finally, liking my work. Grateful to Nancy forever! Namaste!
