This course has been such a gift.
It's helped bring me back to where I need to be , immersed daily in creative thought and action. And that renewed connection with my own purpose flows outward with calm, deep, joy and wonder. I think that's one of the most inspiring aspects...the sense of wonder and possibility. It's been the most memorable and insightful course I've taken.

This course was a life changer for me. Coming into it I recognized that I had a block keeping me from expressing myself more freely. Doing the exercises helped me understand the 'why' of it. It has set me on a completely different journey. A game changer for me. It took me to another level of 'Being' as an artist and freed me to open up to creativity in new ways.

- Summer R.

It's the class I always wanted without knowing I wanted it. It was what I needed - to focus NOT on more technique but rather focus on discovering my own essence. This masterclass has helped me feel much more centred and confident in myself. Donna you are a master teacher, and I'm so glad I trusted my instincts to sign up.

This course is amazingly thought provoking. I realised that I have often held back my essence when creating because mistakenly I thought to have a recognisable body of work it all needed to be in the same medium. I can now see that my essence is recognisable in everything I create regardless of medium! Lightning bolt revelation today!

- Jenny J.

Doing this course has helped condense my thoughts and validated a lot of what I had been thinking, but have never articulated properly... I am now in the enviable position of being able to make the art I want to make without any financial pressure... a big thank you.

- Rosie W.

I am still thoroughly enjoying the 'opening' that I have found in this class. I have several visions of projects I want to create and am now exploring processes. Super excited.

Hi, I’m Donna Watson, a 40+ year mixed media artist, creative storyteller, and passionate mentor through different mediums and styles.

Today, I’m here to help you find yourself as an artist.

What does that mean? It means self-discovering even when you don’t know what you are searching for… It means self-expression even when you don’t know you have anything to say… It means a deep connection even when you’re in your studio entirely by yourself… And it means looking inward and letting go of external influences to fully create from within.

After falling into a black hole as an artist – with years of wasted talent, unknown purpose, dull meaning, and countless hours of work digging myself out – I’m here today so you can find your unique voice, express yourself through your work, discover yourself, emerge as an artist, and connect it to every creative piece you create.

- Donna
