“I used to paint…”
“I’ve always wanted to…”
“I’m not creative, but…”

My workshops are designed for people who are ready to begin again — or begin at all. You don’t need to be ‘good at art’ — just open to the joy of making. I’ll guide you through composition, brushwork, and colour choices in a way that’s freeing, fun, and skill-building.

What My Students Say…

I’ve been attending Cheryl’s art classes for over four years. These classes have not only helped me grow as an artist but also personally. Cheryl has a gift for guiding each of us on our own creative path, while also teaching solid foundational skills. I learn something new every class I attend—and that’s so rewarding. She creates a safe and inspiring space, where we’re encouraged to take risks, trust our instincts, and truly see the world differently through paint. I always leave class feeling uplifted and motivated

.I’ve helped hundreds of students grow their confidence and creative voice — not by handing out shortcuts, but by offering a clear, supportive path grounded in solid painting technique and a deep love of art history.

We paint from real-life set-ups in my bright, inspiring studio, surrounded by fellow art lovers who “get it” — people who are also returning to their creativity or taking it further than ever before.

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to take your painting to the next level, you’ll find more than lessons here. You’ll find momentum, encouragement, and a community that celebrates your growth.
