Sketching Memories July 2025

This class was such a surprise!

"This class was such a surprise, because it isn’t just an art class. Nicole brings in all her talents as a holistic health coach, mentor, and hypnotherapist. It’s not just, ‘Here’s a technique,’ but a creative experience tailored to each student’s needs. Her instructions are easy to follow, the materials list is simple and not overwhelming, and she always brings a new, interesting approach. I especially loved discovering how to get to the overall emotion of the story I wanted to tell. That’s something I would never have thought to do, and it’s made a huge difference in my storytelling. The group is heartfelt, inspiring, and I highly recommend it." - Monica A.

Class Testimionals from August 5th Beta Class

I have been "opened" up and turned to a totally new way of looking/thinking about things.

by Melinda Fay - Albuquerque, NM

This workshop was TOTALLY NOT what I expected, but, in attending, I have been "opened" up and turned to a totally new way of looking/thinking about things.  My art had stagnated and I was looking for a way to get started again.  Thank you sooo much for giving me this opportunity to see things and approach things in a whole new way. This one has been wonderfully valuable! I am so glad to have had the opportunity to be in on this workshop  THANK YOU!! - Melinda Fay - Albuquerque, NM

Settled my busy mind

"I’ve taken a number of Nicole’s classes, and this one helped me settle my busy mind and get back into a creative flow. Some parts were meditative, others helped me tune into my senses—what I saw, touched, and heard while recalling an event. It’s a grounding and inspiring experience." - Linda M.

Sketching Memories

This is a gentle, playful class that blends art and storytelling in a way that feels nourishing rather than overwhelming

  • It's not about being perfect. It's about connection

  • A safe space to explore your memories through sketching and simple prompts

  • A small group of women who understand the longing for creativity and community

  • Live feedback, real conversation, and meaningful pages you’ll keep long after class ends

  • You’ll be surprised at how powerful it feels to see your own life appear on paper in both words and drawings.

  • P.S. Why this class is free? This class is free because it’s part of my beta testing for a larger course I’m building. There may only be a handful of these sessions before I launch the full program, so if this speaks to you, now is the time to step in.

A surpise element...

"A picture paints a thousand words, and Drawing Memories uses images to express feelings—sometimes ones you didn’t even realize you had. There’s a surprise element as you work through your own vision, your own personal memory surrounded by emotions. You’re never pressured to share or feel a certain way. It’s a private, intimate experience, yet you’re supported by a creative community. Nicole guides you to express your interior world in paint and words, and it’s a beautiful process. I would highly recommend it." - Kim R.

It's a perfect class for me

"This class helps me identify where I’m getting stuck creatively and gives me ways to move forward. Nicole addresses the needs of the group and also zeroes in on what each individual needs to grow. One of the unexpected gifts of the class is learning from other students—their approaches and ideas often spark exactly what I need. It’s the perfect class for me." Ginger B.

Meditative, Personal & Positive Class

"Drawing Memories was a lot of fun. It’s a small, safe community where you feel free to be as loose as possible. This is a very loose, meditative, personal, and positive class, filled with kindness. I loved all the color and quick painting we did to capture our feelings. It’s so spontaneous, and you never have to worry because you’re surrounded by people who make it safe to express yourself. I had a ball in this class and can’t wait to do it again." - Kat C.
