Are you caught in the pursuit of perfection, feeling that every piece you create must be a flawless masterpiece?
If so, our latest class, Unleash Your Muses, is your invitation to break free. Join us as we reclaim the pure joy of creating, reminiscent of carefree days spent crafting as a child, where fun reigned supreme and "mistakes" simply didn't exist.
Dive into a world where imperfections are celebrated. This workshop, led by Jerney Marisha who once wrestled with her own artistic perfectionism, now revels in the freedom of intuitive art. It’s here that she discovered a magical world of 'wonky weirdos'—those delightful surprises that emerge when we dare to let go and play with our art supplies, embracing the quirky and unexpected.
In each session, you'll engage with exercises designed to silence your inner critic and awaken your most authentic creative self. We'll start simple, eliminating the intimidation of a blank page by creating stress-free backgrounds that may evolve into unexpected stories. You’ll learn to find joy in every stroke, embracing distortion and releasing the shackles of artistic expectations.
Whether you're looking to overcome artist's block, challenge the voice of perfectionism, or simply infuse your art practice with lighthearted exploration, this workshop is a fit for you. Ideal for artists at any level who are ready to step into a space where the only requirement is to have fun and be open to where your imagination might lead.
Join us in class and let your journey back to uninhibited artistic expression begin. Here, in our inclusive sanctuary, we'll harness the magic of wonky, celebrate the unique, and rediscover what it means to create with joy.

What You’ll Learn in Class…
Warmup lesson
When you’re feeling uninspired or maybe even a little anxious to get started, it’s a good idea to begin with a very small task. Something you don’t have to really think about. Something you can’t possibly mess up.
In this warmup lesson I will show you several different approaches to make stress free backgrounds. All we’re gonna do here is to get rid of the white page. We can manage that for today, right?
Some backgrounds will inspire us like crazy and make us want to create a story instantly. Others might be a good first layer and may need some more TLC. Either way you can expect a lot of inspiration for how to create them and what to do with them.
MAIN LESSON
WONKY WEIRDOS TO THE RESCUE
In this lesson, we’ll explore what I like to call wonky weirdos. You can find them in the paint, like I will demonstrate, but feel free to do this in the way that suits you best. I’m here to give you as much inspiration as I can, but the power is yours to decide how this adventure will be the most fun for you.
Let’s embrace distortion and liberate ourselves from reality and beauty standards!
BONUS LESSON
INTUITIVE ADVENTURES IN ACRYLIC PAINT
In this lesson I will show you how I create intuitive acrylic paintings. Like in the previous lesson we will go into it with no plan whatsoever and let the paint do the talking. Step by step we will get to know who or whatever decides to show up.
WHO IS THIS CLASS FOR?
I believe this class can be enjoyed by all kinds of artists. Whether you’re budding or a little more seasoned: As long as an intuitive approach feels interesting to you, you will have fun.
This class is especially interesting if you:
Struggle with artist's block.
Would like to challenge perfectionism.
Are tired of creating the same figures over and over again.
Are in the mood to have some quirky fun.
