Monthly Creative Art Workshops on the Westside of Los Angeles

Mixed media artwork being created in a Paint and Play monthly workshop near Santa Monica

Step into my Santa Monica studio and let’s play!

Every month, I host small, relaxed workshops right in my home-think of it as a creative get-together with friends, but with a little more paint splatter and a lot of encouragement.

Each workshop is its own little adventure.

We create mixed-media art using with watercolors, acrylics and mark-making tools-whatever feels right for the season and the group.

I keep things cozy, with just 2 to 3 people per workshop, so I can give everyone plenty of personal attention.

Whether you’re brand new to art or you’ve been dabbling for years, you’ll fit right in.

I break everything down into simple, doable steps, but there’s always room to put your own spin on things.

Don’t stress about supplies-I’ve got everything covered. Just bring yourself and maybe a friend, and get ready to relax and create.

My studio is in Santa Monica - it’s a bright and peaceful spot to unwind and get inspired.

Workshops are three hours long.

If you’re curious or want to try something new, I’d love for you to join us!

I haven’t done any art since grade school, but after a couple of hours working with Julie I felt like my creative muscles were finally working again!
