Make your design even more personal! After registering, you're welcome to send a favorite photo, meaningful image, logo, pet portrait, or silhouette you'd like incorporated into your tea towel design.

Each guest will create their own custom cotton tea towel—a functional piece of art perfect for your kitchen, gifting, or displaying at home.
No experience needed! This beginner-friendly workshop is all about slowing down, getting creative, and enjoying a fun evening of crafting with a cider in hand.

🎨✨ Paint for a Purpose: Mystery Benefit Paint Night ✨🎨
Our goal is simple: sell enough tickets to make two dreams come true for two people who have no idea it's coming.

Join us for a special evening of creativity, community, and giving back.
During this one-night-only benefit workshop, you'll choose from three unique wooden canvas designs and customize your artwork with any colors you love. Whether you prefer bold and vibrant or soft and subtle, you'll leave with a one-of-a-kind piece that's completely your own.
But this isn't just a paint night.
Every ticket purchased helps fund two meaningful surprise gifts that will have a life-changing impact for two members of our community. While we're keeping the details under wraps for now, your participation is helping make something truly special happen.
✨ Your ticket includes:
• One wooden canvas
• Choice of design options
• All painting supplies and instruction
• Freedom to customize your colors and style
• The opportunity to be part of a heartfelt community surprise

❤️ Can't attend? You can still help make this surprise possible. Donations of any amount are welcome through Venmo and will go directly toward funding these special gifts.

🎁 The secret will stay under wraps until the gifts are given! Once the surprises have been delivered, we'll share the story and reveal the impact your support made on social media.
Come paint, connect, and help us create something beautiful—both on canvas and beyond.
Because sometimes the most meaningful gifts are the ones given together. ❤️

🔥🎨WOMEN’S RAGE PAINTING EXPERIENCE 🎨🔥
A sacred evening to let it out, break the silence, and come home to yourself.
There are emotions women are taught to soften. Frustration. Grief. Anger. Exhaustion. Rage.

This is for the women who are tired of holding everything together. This is for the women ready to feel seen without needing to explain themselves.

This experience is an invitation to stop holding it all in.
Join us for an intimate outdoor Rage Painting Workshop created exclusively for women — a powerful night of expression, emotional clearing, creativity, and connection in a private undisclosed location designed to feel safe, protected, and free from outside energy. The exact location will be shared with ticket holders prior to the event.

You’ll begin by channeling emotion onto canvas through intuitive rage painting using bold colors, movement, texture, and unrestricted expression. No art skills needed — this is not about perfection. It’s about liberation. Scream into the paint. Throw color. Make a mess. Feel what’s been sitting inside your body finally move.

As the evening settles, we’ll transition into a softer, heart-centered gathering around the fire — a grounding moment of reflection, connection, a bit of silliness, and collective healing under the open sky. Bring your truth, your tenderness, your anger, your laughter, your stories, or simply your presence. Participation in the fire circle is completely optional, and you are welcome to leave after the painting portion if that feels best for you. For more details and to register, go to the link in bio or at [email protected]

I hear I should post myself now and then, so you know I'm a one woman show...and that I clearly have a favorite sweater. Also, this was the first ever paint night I've been to, in my 6 years of hosting art nights! Which is ironic, since I'm finally about to host my first ever 2 paint nights in June! I held my breath through most of this workshop 😅🫠 it had been years since I painted with a brush like this. It feels very fitting that my first paint night will be all about not holding your breath, but letting it out!!! Aside from that, this was a beautiful artistic night with friends, that I'm so grateful to get to join! It also benefited a good cause for some sweet dogs 💖 If you read this far, thank you and you should probably join one of my paint nights coming up! 🤗🎨
