Discover the joy of creating art that calms your mind, sparks your creativity, and makes you happyโno experience required.
If youโve ever thought, โIโm not an artist,โ or worried that your art isnโt โgood enough,โ letโs put that idea to rest right now. You donโt have to be โgoodโ at art to experience its magic. Hereโs the truth:
Art is for everyone. Yes, even you.
At Willa Workshops, Iโm not here to teach you how to become a world-famous artist with your work in museums (but hey, if thatโs your dream, Iโll be your biggest cheerleader!). Instead, Iโm here to help you tap into something deeper:
The calm that comes from working with your hands.
The joy of experimenting with color, texture, and design.
The freedom to create without judgment or pressure.
Art Doesnโt Need PerfectionโIt Just Needs You!

Give Yourself a Gift: Just Make Art FoR FuN & FLoW
Art isnโt just for galleriesโ itโs for YOU.
If youโve ever craved peace, calm, or a little joy, the process of making art can bring it all. Creating soothes your mind, eases stress, and unlocks energy you didnโt know you had.
Let me help you find your flowโno perfection required.

For decades, Iโve made artโnot for perfection, but because it makes me happy. Science backs this up: creating with your hands helps calm your nervous system, reduce stress, and boost your well-being. Whether youโre a total beginner or a seasoned creative, youโll love the courses at Willa Workshops.
Most women are spending an inordinate amount of their time (this is my guess) pursuing things that have nothing to do with their own fulfillment. Theyโre spending their time doing things that they believe they need to do in order to be loved, because society tells them that they should look and be a certain way in order to be loved. And itโs so untrue.

Everything You Need To Know
About why StuDentS LOVE Willa WorKsHoPs
Hi Wendy. Iโm new to your fan club and want to introduce myself . . . Youโre one of my art heroes and I kind of feel a kinship with you although weโve never met. I didnโt really understand what a mixed media artist does until I found some of your work on Pinterest and began to explore your website and the work of other artists that you find inspirational. It has really helped me to look at my long history of making things in a different light. Iโve always been sort of disappointed in myself for having difficulty sticking to just one area of interest; my list of hobbies is long and varied and I find it difficult to resist a deep dive into something new that intrigues me. Now Iโm starting to see how all of these seemingly disparate interests can intersect and meld into a more cohesive expression of who am I am what I want to share with the world. Thank you for the encouragement, positivity, and inspiration youโre sharing.
