In an instant—everything changed.
It was at my new favorite coffee shop, talking to my mentor, when it dawned on me. This wasn’t an option, it was a calling. An unshakable feeling down to the very last cell in my body that I had to share my passion for art and creativity with the world; in a bigger way that I currently was. I had no idea, in that moment, that my life would change forever. Or even more shockingly, just how much it would change…
That conversation was the catalyst for the transformation of Sugarhill Art Studio.
For years, I've had the joy of guiding others on their creative journeys, helping women unlock their potential through mixed media, watercolor, and art journaling. But that day, on a call with my mentor, I realized it was time for something deeper. It was time to offer more than quick, simple lessons—it was time to take artists on a heartfelt and immersive artsy adventure into their creative souls.
A New Path for Sugarhill Art Studio
I’m so excited to share that Sugarhill is evolving. What started as a place to discover and nurture creativity through bite-sized lessons is now growing into something much more expansive—a space where beginner and advanced artists alike can embark on an in-depth yet whimsical and relaxing art journaling adventure.
This shift isn't just about teaching techniques (though, of course, you’ll learn plenty of those!). It’s about exploring the quieter, deeper aspects of creativity: the power of reflection, the joy of discovering new mediums, and the thrill of experimenting with unfamiliar techniques. It's a journey into the layers of what it means to be an artist, guided by the belief that everyone has something beautiful and unique to express.
Quiet Reflection, Bold Exploration
The courses I'm building aren't just about making beautiful art—they're about connecting with yourself through creativity. Art journaling offers a space for quiet reflection, where you can pause from the demands of daily life and dive into the moments of stillness that foster self-discovery. And I will reinforce that it is solely for you - your time (hours or minutes), your style, and your inner creative soul. We'll also be exploring new mediums and techniques, pushing boundaries, and embracing the unknown. It’s in these moments of exploration that we grow as artists, finding our unique styles and voices. Whether you're just starting or have been making art for years, I want to take you on a journey that will challenge, inspire, and deepen your practice.
A Journey for Every Artist
My newest course is designed to meet you where you are. If you’re a beginner, we’ll start at the roots—building your confidence and skills while creating a safe and inspiring space for you to explore. And if you’re a more advanced artist, we’ll dive into the layers of mixed media, advanced techniques, and the endless potential of art journaling.
My goal is to create an experience that allows every artist to step into their creative flow, whether you're drawing for 10 minutes after work or dedicating hours in your studio. Let's find your inner creative soul!
Where We’re Going Together
Sugarhill is changing because I’m changing, and I couldn’t be more excited to take this next step with you. I believe art is transformative. It’s more than paint and paper—it’s a way to understand yourself, connect with others, and bring more beauty into the world.
I’m ready to invite you into these new, immersive courses where we can dive into quiet moments of reflection and bold acts of creativity together. Are you ready to embark on this adventure with me?
Stay tuned for more details on what’s to come. I can’t wait to create alongside you.

Sounds good. I love your journaling and exploring paper and paint. That’s why I jumped on board….after a pouty season when I thought you were no longer doing Art Snacks!
My best to you.
