“TThis was the best laid-out program I’ve seen. Krista’s instruction was simple, clear, and easy to follow, no fluff or distractions. I highly recommend it.”
A note from Krista
Hi, I’m Krista. After 16 years as a professional gallery artist, I’ve reclaimed my studio practice to focus on joy over performance. I live with chronic illness and ADHD, so I understand what it’s like to crave creativity but not always have the energy or focus to get started.
That’s why I built this space to make art feel doable, joyful, and accessible, especially on the days when life feels heavy. You don’t need fancy supplies, loads of free time, or any drawing skills to begin.
You just need the desire to create and a gentle, encouraging way to begin.
“Krista is a wonderful teacher who genuinely cares about her students. Her course is encouraging, well-planned, and explains tricky concepts like color theory and paint-to-water ratios in a way that’s easy to understand.”
“I’d always wanted to try watercolor but didn’t feel talented enough. This course walked me through everything step by step. It was exactly what I needed. Loved it and highly recommend it!”
