A new playful watercolor/gouache painting workshop is in development but I’m not sure when it will launch; add your name to the email notification list.

Hi! I’m Tammy 💁🏻‍♀️ a self-taught artist. I work in many different formats including art journaling, watercolor/gouache, acrylics, ink, stitched paper collage, digital collage, photography, and drawing. I began this adventure in 2007 after working as a data analyst for many years. I’ve been teaching workshops since 2012. Find my writings & art at Substack and here at the blog.

My work has been published in Contemporary Collage magazine, Elsie Magazine, Featuring Magazine, and in the book A World of Artist Journal Pages by Dawn DeVries Sokol. I’ve also taught workshops as part of 21 Secrets and Wanderlust.

I started the annual Index-Card-a-Day Challenge in 2011 and have been facilitating this challenge every June/July for 15 years! The goal is to create a small project every day for 61 days. Working on index cards is ridiculously fun & so good for generating ideas. To get a feel for what index card art is all about, get The Simple Beauty of Small Format Art.

Kind Words

“I love your casual, approachable vibe. Your content is great, and you present in a way that is very welcoming, not at all intimidating… and fun!”

"I'm always looking forward so much to the videos and activities! They're so creative, inspiring, playful and fun that I can't get enough of them and they're definitely my favourite part of Muse!”

"Tammy, you created such a delightful and fun class for us to learn in and I now have a new "love"!!! Thanks so much for sharing your passion with us all!! It has been so refreshing."

"I love Tammy’s class because it’s focusing on the creativity process rather than how to create a specific product. There is good instruction on the techniques she features while being very open-ended. It’s been easy to incorporate these ideas into my work without feeling like I’m copying or recreating hers. The techniques are adaptable to a variety of materials and I find myself combining the things I learned in different lessons."

“All 42 pages of my altered book have art on them. All of the techniques taught in Groovy Grunge/Novel Approach appear at least twice and the influence of Tiny Museum (done in a separate book) included. While there are pages that need collaging and/or grungifing, the book is essentially complete. It represents a year's effort that makes me smile when I page through the altered book. Thank you!”

"Tammy - thanks for teaching this class. I've never embraced doodling, maybe because markers and pens aren't my tools of choice. I think this technique will carry me very far. I know I'm quiet (I'm an engineer), but I really, really enjoyed this class."

"Tammy's workshops are pure delight - she is very thorough in her approach and always leads you down wonderful and imaginative paths. I highly recommend them!"

“Thank you for the most consistently creative period of my life. I have started my first art journal and created something pretty every single day. I hope for a second round of Muse, because I know I'm going to miss it!! I cannot thank you enough, you're a great enabler!”

“Plenty of inspiration and great to turn to when the mojo just isn’t there. I love it!”

"I have loved making pages for each lesson in the workshop, learning something great from each and just plain having fun! I still have more ideas to play with and that's a great thing about having extended access to the workshop. The time frame and the build up of techniques allows me the room to let it all evolve. I highly recommend your workshops for their laid back ease and generous inspiration."
