About this event

Did you know that drawing and creating art helps to stave off cognitive decline? It does, and it's a great way to enrich your life on many levels. You're cordially invited to come and explore at the Online Drawing Soiree!

What is an Online Drawing Soiree? It is an interactive social experience. There will be some teaching and learning, but you will not sit on the sidelines. You'll get to draw and discuss the process with other students in breakout rooms.

Anyone can learn to draw, despite the common belief that only certain people are “gifted” in this way. You’ll learn what the number one thing is that holds people back from learning to draw.

This is a chance for you to meet some other drawing enthusiasts. It's good to find out that you are not alone and that others are struggling with the same things you are.

To be prepared you’ll want to have some paper, something to draw with, and an open mind! Be ready to meet people and have a fantastic time! Beginners are welcome and encouraged to join! For the best experience, keep your cameras on.

I help adults experience the benefits and joy that come with learning to be an artist.

Anyone can learn to draw despite the popular belief you are born with it.
As adults, we are so accustomed to being experts at what we do, we’ve forgotten what it’s like to learn something new and the FEAR that comes with it.
My first job as a teacher is to bust the belief that you CAN’T draw to make room for the idea that you CAN

That is the purpose of the Online Drawing Soiree`! And, it is just fun!

Join us for an "Online Drawing Soiree." This is an interactive social event I host twice a month. You'll experince some learning, a bit of sharing and some drawing, designed to help you shift those limiting beliefs. I also present a free masterclass "Thrive in Retirement through Learning to Draw." This is more of a presentation Webinar style event, where I present some science backed research that shows how learning to draw can help prevent cognitive decline as you age as well as having many other health and wellness benefits.
