The Art of Decisiveness: How Clear Choices Unlock Creativity and Inner Peace

For years, I struggled with decision-making—not just in my creative practice, but in life. Every choice felt impossible.

One day, my best friend (my “Daily,”) shared a piece of wisdom that changed everything: "If the answer isn’t ‘Hell Yes,’ then it’s ‘No.” (She’s Brilliant!)

That shift in perspective was transformative. It applied to everything…Red paint or blue ?
Which paintbrush?
Is the painting complete?

And the biggest life decisions? Wow.
Breakup or stay?
Move to another state?
End a friendship?
Release a family member who only hurts me?

By practicing decision-making throughout my day, I built strength, peace, and grace. My creativity blossomed.

If you want to strengthen your decisiveness, start small.

Go to the grocery store. Choose the perfect apple.
Take your time.
Feel it in your hand.
Ask yourself, Which apple wants to nourish me today?

Decision-making is a practice, and like any practice, it deepens over time.

This is a core part of what I teach in my private coaching and retreats—through vision journaling and soft, intentional choices, we train our minds to embrace clarity and confidence.

I would love to support you in this journey, whether in painting, writing, or simply the art of being human.

Love to you all. 💙

Santa Fe has always held an undeniable magic, but when snow blankets the land, it transforms into something ethereal—otherworldly in its quiet grace.

The soft hush of snowfall mutes the world, making space for my creativity to quietly breathe through me. Each morning, I step into a dreamscape, walking through my new studio’s surroundings, feeling as if I’ve entered a living Narnia.

Nestled amidst this land, my new studio is a haven warmed by the crackling wood stove. It’s my sanctuary for inspiration.

The snow clings to juniper branches.
The sky shifts through endless hues—blues, silvers, the gold of a sun fighting through the clouds. These colors find their way into my work, guiding my latest abstract sunset series, “SkyDance,” with an energy that only winter’s hush can summon.

At the heart of my walks is an earthen sculpture inspired by Chaco Canyon’s ancient sun dagger.

It lies beneath a delicate veil of snow, its spiral lines holding time, memory, and intention. Each step through it feels like an offering, a meditation in motion.

Nature and I collaborate here.

Soon, I will welcome my first private painting client to enter this new sacred space. The warmth of the fire, the scent of pine and earth, and the enveloping quiet will provide the perfect cocoon for us to explore creating.

This is what I’ve dreamed of—a place where art is not just made, but felt, absorbed, and lived.

I feel enormously Blessed.

If you’ve ever longed to step into yoru creativity, an invitation may be waiting for you. The snow has its own way of whispering, calling those who are meant to listen.

Santa Fe Art Classes has evolved into a world-class, luxury art experience, offering an unparalleled opportunity for both you, as my private guest artist, and for me, as your dedicated mentor.

This new chapter allows us to dive deeper into creativity, artistry, and personal expression, fostering a truly transformative journey unlike any other.

Dear Creative Soul,

Imagine yourself stepping onto a quiet, sun-drenched property, where the scent of piñon and sage lingers in the air. Santa Fe’s rolling hills stretch before you, and in the distance, the opera house stands like a sentinel of inspiration.

The world slows here. Your thoughts soften, your breath deepens, and before you even lift a brush, you sense the stirrings of creativity waking within you.

The retreat begins with a moment of stillness.

A cup of tea, a conversation, a gentle invitation to step into a space of pure artistic exploration. Inside my studio, light spills across expansive canvases, colors waiting to be shaped by your hands.

Whether you have never held a paintbrush or have spent years longing to reclaim your artistic voice, this is your time. Together, we will coax out the images hidden within you, guiding each brushstroke until two—perhaps more—paintings emerge, entirely your own.

Beyond the studio, the experience expands. We might wander into Santa Fe’s vibrant galleries, stepping behind the scenes into the private studios of renowned artists.

Perhaps we will toast to creative breakthroughs at my personal home, surrounded by breathtaking sculptures and a curated collection of museum-quality works.

Evenings bring slow, luxurious dinners prepared by local chefs, where the wine flows as freely as the conversation.

By day’s end, you will feel lighter, freer—alive in a way you may not have felt in years.

Between sessions, the land itself invites you deeper. Hike along quiet trails where ancient stories whisper through the stones.

Sit beneath a vast sky streaked with sunset fire, letting the colors imprint themselves in your mind.

Every experience is crafted just for you—no two retreats are alike. We will sculpt the journey together, ensuring that this time is uniquely yours, an immersion into beauty and artistic discovery that cannot be replicated.

By the end of your retreat, you will leave with more than just paintings.

You will take with you a renewed sense of self, a confidence in your creativity, and the exhilarating memory of stepping fully into your artistic power.

And for those who continue beyond, the three-day retreat includes a year of personal mentorship, a tether to keep your inspiration alive long after your time in Santa Fe.

Only six artists will experience this retreat. If you feel the call, reserve your place. Let us create something unforgettable together.

An Invitation to the Few

If you feel the call to step into an extraordinary artistic journey, reach out today to reserve your private retreat.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience, for a select few.

Let’s create something unforgettable together.
