Join me this fall and learn everything you need to get started Art Journaling.
Open yourself to up to the creative expression of art journaling through a weekly creative practice.
Welcome to Art Journaling with Anna
We will meet every week over Zoom for 6 weeks and spend 2 hours exploring our creative selves. Through writing prompts, paint suggestions, and guidance on composition you will create art journal pages that express you. This is a no-rules, can't do it wrong art class where all levels of art experience are welcome.
All levels welcome
Haven't painted since kindergarten, no problem. It's not that hard, and we'll take it step by step. Can't draw what you see accurately? That's okay, neither can I. That's why collage was invented. Dislike your handwriting? That's okay too, we'll be learning all kinds of creative lettering, or you can cut words out of magazines and use that.

Art Journaling can be vulnerable.
This class is a place where feelings get felt, expressed, and witnessed. Art journaling has a way of opening us up to often hidden things. It makes us vulnerable and calls upon our courage. These things we are free to share with the group, (or not) so if you are ready to be supportive and be supported-please join us.

What others are saying
Art Journaling with Anna has changed my life! I love the process involved in creating each page. Transforming thoughts into Art and learning not to judge my work has brought me great joy! I've never been one to write in a journal...but THIS!! This is it for me! I am such a visual person so I get so excited at the idea of "making something".
