Paintings

I am inspired by the beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains. My landscapes reflect my own feelings of awe and wonder when I look upon this place. I work from my intuition and memories when I paint these scenes.

My intention is to inspire you to remember your own connection to the flow of life and the natural world every time you look at my art.

Intuitive Painting Class

This class is an experience for people who struggle with perfectionist tendencies, who feel blocked in their creativity, and who feel called to create but don’t see themselves as artists or creative types.

This class can help you:

~Let go of doubt and the need for perfection, so you can finally start that project and even finish it

~Feel confident in yourself as a creative person

~Get back into your creative mind and start creating again after a dry spell

~Tap into your intuition and start to trust yourself more

~Learn the skills to confidently mix colors and paint with acrylics

I will guide you to:

~Experience a safe, judgment-free space so you can show up as you are. You can move past your doubts about whether you’re doing it right, and calm your inner critic.

~Go on a meditative journey to relax, meet a creative guide, and connect with your inner garden of creativity.

~Use breath work to calm your nervous system

~Allow colors to guide you using your felt senses, rather than your logical mind, so you can overcome perfectionist tendencies.

~Complete and take home an 8×8″ painting on canvas, and leave with the skills to keep painting on your own.

Cost: $50

Next class is Sunday, April 9 at Mountain Magic Studio

3-5pm

Class is limited to 10 people. All materials are provided.

I used to be an avid painter, but hadn't picked up a brush in years. This class helped me let go of my doubt and need for perfection, and instead allowed me to tap into something more intuitive. The guided meditation at the beginning allowed me to relax and feel into what wanted to be created. It felt unexpectedly freeing and satisfying. This class is truly for everyone - seasoned painters, folks who want to dust off the old brush, or who have never painted in their lives.

Liz has a unique approach to teaching painting. With her guidance anyone can tap into their expressive mind. Personally, I have had a lot of art training and this was unlike any other art class I've had. It's been years since I have actively created and she was able to get me back into my creative mind. Other participants who attended had zero training and were encouraged to freely explore. Art truly is for everyone and Liz provides the tools, one on one help, and a relaxing fun environment that we all enjoyed!

Liz's intuitive approach gave me total permission to just express. There was no right or wrong, just gentle guidance to tap into my own creativity and vision, to just allow my process to unfold without judgement. Her approach was just what I needed to move past my normal limiting thoughts of, "Is this right? Am I doing this wrong?"

My daughter and I did Liz's workshop together. I've never viewed myself as a creative, so I wasn't really sure how it would go. However, I ended up really enjoying myself. Liz made me feel comfortable even though I was initially out of my comfort zone. Her approach didn't focus on what I couldn't do but instead on what I could do. I was surprised that I could paint anything, let alone something that I really liked.

Soul nourishing. Spiritually and creatively therapeutic.

The class provided all the needed materials, including a canvas, acrylic paints, and a few other fun items, so we could jump right into creating. The exploratory meditation helped me focus on what I wanted to create and set a positive intention for the afternoon. The space was safe and intimate, making it easy for me to relax and enjoy the painting process. Liz was a fantastic instructor, and a well-established artist, who provided guidance and support in whatever aspect we needed help with. It was so freeing to have the space and support to create whatever came to mind.

Liz created and held a safe space for the class to explore our creativity and listen to our intuition. She guided us through a mediation that grounded us so our inner creativity felt safe to come out and play. Through her guidance, I felt like she gave me permission to let go of expectations. I was able to tap into something more and I am looking forward to the next class to dive deeper.

Color Readings

I offer a portrait of your color energies, channeling your specific energy and vibration at the time of our meeting.

How does it work? You schedule a time on my calendar to have a 15-20 minute zoom call with me. I guide you through an energy grounding/connecting exercise and take some time to see what messages want to come through.

After we disconnect from our call, I complete your painting using the colors that wish to come through for you. The painting is shipped to you, ready to hang or display as you wish, as a reminder of this specific time.

My clients have experienced feelings ranging from pure joy to profound clarity from the images that are channeled and the guided meditation.

This sounds unusual! Yes, it is! This is for people who are open to the infinite possibilities of the realm outside our five senses. It is a channel of connection between you, me, and color energies.

The cost of this unique service is $150.

About Liz

I fell in love with painting during my time at Eastern Illinois University where I studied with talented and inspiring professors. At that time I was also on a personal healing journey and used art as a meditation to serve me on this path.

After moving to Raleigh, North Carolina, I met some incredible teachers. Through the study and practice of yoga, I finally felt connected to myself and the world around me. I also became a student of reiki, a form of energy healing.

I made the move to Asheville in 2012, birthed two amazing daughters, and kept pursuing my art through many life shifts and transitions.

Come see me and my work in person: Studio 293 at Riverview Station, 191 Lyman Street, Asheville NC. I’m there Thursdays-Sundays and I look forward to meeting you.
