Rock Art Workshops
It's not that you're good at art. It's that art is good for you.
In these workshops, we use naturally formed rocks and simple materials to create one-of-a-kind artwork inspired by the shapes, stories, and possibilities already hidden in nature.
There is no right way to do it. No artistic experience required. Just an opportunity to be creative, meet great people, and leave with a piece that tells your story.
Framed Art
Use my collection or bring your own rocks, sticks, and sea glass and create your original framed artwork. All supplies included.
I'll guide you through the process, share simple design techniques, and help you discover what makes each rock unique. Some people arrive with a clear idea. Others don't know where to begin. Both are perfect.
All supplies included.
Pep-Talk Power Pack
Holding, rubbing, or admiring rocks is a simple yet effective form of nature therapy. Engaging with natural stones provides sensory stimulation that reduces stress, encourages mindfulness, and promotes a sense of calm. The tactile experience of feeling a stone's texture and weight helps individuals focus on the present moment, offering relief from anxiety and stress.
Curate your own messages from my library of wise words, choose your message-carrying rocks (3), and the supporting rocks (5-7) for a unique display piece that is as beautiful as it is purposeful.
