Unlock Confidence in Your Creativity: 30 Days of Watercolor
Connect with your God-given creativity and experience a sense of peace, rest, and renewal through a 30-day watercolor journey, painting the beautiful flowers of Provence.
Build confidence in your creativity while cultivating a sustainable, restful art practice.
Find Rest in the Midst of Life’s Busyness...
Â
Life can feel overwhelming—busy schedules, constant demands, and endless to-do lists. Anxiety and stress can often feel like problems we just have to live with. But deep down, you know there’s another way.
Your creativity is the answer.
You long for more moments of stillness and beauty in your day but may not feel "artsy" enough or believe you have the time to explore your creative side.
I’m here to tell you—you are creative.
You were made in the image of the Creator, and embracing your creativity is an essential part of who you are. Even if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush, this journey is designed for you. It’s about giving yourself the gift of time and space to reconnect with your creative identity.
Why Watercolor?
Watercolor is a gentle, meditative practice that invites you to slow down, embrace imperfection, and let go of the rush and worry.
It’s an art form that allows you to simply be—no pressure, no judgment!
Over the next 30 days, we’ll explore the serene beauty of Provence’s florals through simple, approachable watercolor projects. Each day offers a new opportunity to rest, reflect, and create.
This is a MUSTÂ if...
- You’re feeling the pressure of a busy, over-scheduled life
- You don’t think you’re “artsy” enough to make beautiful art
- You’re going through a challenging season and need a way to refocus and find peaceYou want to try something new and feel safe being a beginner.
- You struggle to find time for yourself and know that’s exactly what you need
Join Me on This Transformative Journey
By the end of these 30 days, you’ll find yourself refreshed, restored, and confident in your ability to create beautiful art. You were designed to be a maker, and your creativity is a powerful gift.
Let’s uncover it together.
imagine...
What if you could let go of judgment and simply explore your creativity with wonder? What would it feel like to leave perfectionism behind and embrace the joy of creating something beautiful—just for the sake of creating?
Your mind may give you reasons to hesitate—maybe you've had a bad art experience in the past or you fear not getting it “right.” But here’s the truth: there’s no right or wrong in a creative practice. You simply show up, open to the idea that you can create beautiful things, and let your God-given creativity flow.

Â
I didn't always value beauty or my innate, God-given creativity. I didn't always see the need for a reflective mirror of the Creator in my life. I used to believe utility, efficiency, and production were the benchmarks of cultivated living. Now I see and know and feel the intrinsic truth that beauty awakens faith.Â
Through difficult seasons in my life, art has been a language that has spoken into the divide, a bridge that's taken me from rush to rest.
I believe a creative practice is for everyone and can take you out of overwhelm and into rest.

Reflect
Let's paint! We'll spend time talking line and wash technique and then reflect on our identity by immersing ourselves in a gentle, supportive series of painting sessions. You'll be encouraged by your own creativity.Â

WHAT ABOUT A GUARANTEE?
I promise, you CAN do this. There is a hospitality in watercolor--it is gentle and welcoming. However, if you’re not 100% satisfied with the experience, I'll offer you a full refund, for any reason.
Take a full 7 days to explore the Atelier des Fleur: 30 Days of Flowers in Provence and the brand new Art Garden Community and then make a decision using the information you have, rather than information you don’t.
Before you go...
I know first hand the self doubt that comes when you start something new. That's what makes watercolor so gentle--you can't get it wrong!
I've found a watercolor practice to not only be a beautiful space to fill my creativity needs, but also to be an extension of expression. There are times I'm not even sure what I'm feeling, but the invitation of my watercolor supplies and blank paper call me to overcome the hurry and rush that can so easily complicate my life. The end result isn't the goal; the process of making and reattuning my senses to my creative identity is what restores rest to my heart and mind.Â
I want that same experience for you.
