It seems like everyday there is a new article or research paper that describes the benefits of doing something creative. It can be anything; knitting, painting, sewing, singing...whatever artistic pursuit you feel drawn too can make a difference for your well being.

When I created the Drawing Lab it was to give back to everyone the comfort and ability to draw. I have a super simple approach to teaching drawing that helps you feel confidence in your own drawing ability even if it is messy or looks like a scribble. I give you permission to discover and embrace your own creative visual voice. The best part of drawing is that even if it is messy or looks abstract you are still getting something out of the process. Putting pencil to paper activates your brain in new ways. All you need is some paper and a pencil or pen to learn my whole approach. To find out more or sign up:

The course and modules are very well structured and informative. You’re a generous and gifted teacher. I feel as if I’ve reconnected with my drawing and myself. The course really opens up lots of possibilities to carry on exploring.

Did the illustration for this amazing Boston project, Bostob In a 100 Words. Check it out here:

IV Version, StoriesARRIVAL FIRST PLACE The apartment in my new country contained a scuffed dining table, a stained futon, and one standing lamp. “I’ll find things for you,” the Super said. Over days, an oak bookcase, floral rugs, and Chilean treats his wife baked. In the garden, he beckoned me...

To me it seems obvious and uncomplicated. Kids need art. They need time to express themselves and make a mess and not worry about making mistakes. Art making, is a way to practice being in that place of not knowing and learning, to trust your self, your own line and your own way.

We need easy ways for kids to engage with their creative sides. A way that is non judgmental and not high stakes. I see drawing as the easiest way in and the lowest barrier to entry. All you need is paper and pencil. And the imagination is off…if we as parents, teachers, adults let them go and let them find freedom in art making we can help our kids in so many ways. That is why I created The Creativity Lab:

The Creativity Lab is an online Art HUB for tweens and teens ages 10-18! Engage your creative mind through different art media: painting, drawing, printmaking and collage. You don’t have to choose one art form you can play around with them ALL!
