About this Event

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

Celebrate the season with this guided watercolor experience inspired by DC in bloom. As spring softens into summer, this piece captures movement, color, and the feeling of being outdoors… light, playful, and full of life.


Class will start with a gentle introduction to basic watercolor techniques to help you get comfortable with the medium, even if you’ve never painted before or it’s been a while. Guests will be provided a pre-sketched image to practice their painting skills and see their creation come to life.


From there, we’ll work through the painting together step by step, learning how to layer color, create soft blends, and let the water guide your brush. You’ll leave with a completed painting and a renewed sense of creative confidence.

ABOUT OUR INSTRUCTOR:

I’m a visual artist specializing in watercolor, ink, and gouache — mediums that allow me to explore softness, strength, and everything in between. My art is a reflection of emotion — a space where I can translate what I feel into color, texture, and form.

I’m especially drawn to themes that explore identity, heritage, and the resilience and power of women. My perspective is shaped by life’s quiet strength, its chaos, and its beauty — and those experiences deeply influence how I show up on the canvas. They’ve taught me to embrace imperfection, to stay present, and to find wonder in the everyday.

You’ll find bold colors, soft gradients, and symbolic storytelling throughout my collections. Whether it’s a tender portrait, a dynamic cityscape, or an abstract expression of strength, each piece is crafted with care and intention. I often play with symbolism and abstract narratives, inviting viewers to find their own meaning within each brushstroke.

She’s Artsy began as a way to share my creative journey, and has grown into a space for connection, inspiration, and handcrafted joy. I hope that through my work, you find a little spark of something familiar — a feeling, a memory, or simply a moment of stillness.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Every kind message, story, and piece that finds a new home fills me with gratitude. A portion of proceeds from each sale is donated to local charities — a small way to give back and keep the cycle of love going.
