Unleash Your Creative Genius!
Coming Soon
Announcing Painting Your Heart's online multi-module course. Check back soon for dates and enrollment details!
Hi, I'm Christine!
I created Painting Your Heart workshops for people to experience the fun, playful process of making art together.
Here are some questions to ponder…
• What’s keeping you up at night?
• What keeps replaying over and over in your brain?
• What are you holding onto that’s keeping you stuck?
• What’s pulling at your heartstrings demanding attention?
Exploring creatively, with an open mind and a curious heart, can expand the imaginary boundaries you place around yourself. When you wander, dream, and play, you discover new things about you. It’s the free flow of inward and outward, expressing and releasing, using color as your language. It’s therapeutic, cathartic, and tremendously healing.
Did you know all humans were born with a creative gene? When’s the last time you tapped into yours?
Painting Your Heart Workshops – they’re fun, relaxing, and a remedy for our times!
The Inspiration for Painting your Heart Workshops
Who takes our workshops?
Teens

Exploring creativity freely, inspires curiosity and nurtures imagination without boundaries. Given the chance, they will share endlessly as they are energized and validated by being seen and heard!

Envisioning the journey to a healthy body and mind!
The cancer community’s mental and emotional wellbeing improves tremendously when they bond and create together. Being open and vulnerable uplifts and empowers this impassioned tribe. Each painting is an opportunity to recreate the story of their lives!
Aging Population
Eager to feel reconnected in their communities!
Elders can release pent up feelings of loneliness, isolation, and grief when making art together. Bonding in an intimate, relaxed environment allows their imagination and creativity to flourish in the hands of a paint brush!

Create a Remarkable and Memorable Party Experience! Take the boring and mundane out of your monthly meetings or put a unique spin on family gatherings. Host a themed Painting Your Heart Art Party to CELEBRATE, HONOR and THANK all the wonderful people in your world!
What They're Saying
A fun, wonderful experience…
Christine’s Painting Your Heart Workshop helps release emotions that can be both trapped and or tangled within our human experience. The painting process can bring you closer to your feelings in a group setting which can make you laugh, cry, be thought-provoking or bring a sense of calm. It’s fun, a wonderful experience wanting more.
A great, corporate activity to boost morale…
I’ve been wanting to do a group activity to increase team morale. When I heard about Painting Your Heart, I thought it would fit my need. I surprised my staff with a Saturday morning painting workshop and everyone was engaged and had fun. If you are looking for a great, corporate group activity to boost morale, I highly recommend a Painting Your Heart Workshop.
A sense of wonder and joy…
I would highly endorse Christine and Painting Your Heart Workshops. Beyond teaching art, Christine taught tolerance, appreciation for art, teamwork and created a sense of wonder and joy in celebrating one’s individual and group achievements in art. Thank you so much!
Allowed my true emotions to surface…
I experienced Christine’s “Painting Your Heart” program as a participant and as the nonprofit leader of Cancer Kinship. Christine’s methods allowed my true emotions regarding my own cancer diagnosis, to surface and I was able to express my feelings in a different way and without judgment. I was eager to partner with Christine because she truly cares about our participants, and I saw first-hand, how empowered they felt after going through her program.
I feel much better!
I feel much better after taking this workshop. I’m more self-aware from allowing myself to explore through creativity. A two-week course on EQ wouldn’t have gotten me here!
