Virtual Open Studio - Ongoing, on Patreon!

Created in response to the 2020 pandemic, these Virtual Open Studio Days have become a staple of my new studio life. Now exclusively on my Patreon!

    - Are you craving the company of artists who love to chat about art stuff?
    - Are you in a slump with your art and need an inspiration boost?
    - Do you want to learn more about pastel and love to learn by watching?
    - Is a full length workshop not in your budget?

Join me in my Studio!

Watch me as I work on ... whatever I'm working on! From pasteling little "warm fuzzies" to batches of new underpaintings, portrait commissions, projects large and small, and occasional Paint-Alongs for some fun participation!

Share my space and enjoy some conversation and live, spontaneous Q&A about anything you want to ask about pastel, or art, or framing, prepping, priming, or odd things like how to sneak up on a cow, or... whatever.

My Live Virtual Open Studio Days (VOS for short) are scheduled on Zoom. Most last about an hour or two. You can stay as long as you like or leave when you need to.

Exclusively on my Patreon, as a Bunny Buddy member ($10/month) or higher, you can have automatic invites to ALL Live VOS Days, along with instant access to over 200 full length videos from the past 4 years, for as long as your subscription is active.

Join my Patreon!

Here's the current VOS schedule. I will update the list of days each couple months or so. I try to update specific topics a day or two beforehand, or you can always message me if you're curious! Will average 3 days per month but will vary depending on my schedule of other things, and life. Schedule updates are also posted on Patreon.
