It’s Your Time To Play

Hello! I'm Alex. Most people know me as an artist and a teacher. 

And I'm here to help you get back to doing the creative fun stuff that lights you up, so you can stop putting your joy on hold.

Over the years, I've worked in just about every medium imaginable. From paintings, wood sculptures, soft sculptures, watercolor drawings, monster puppets, to murals, and everything in between. 

I've had big studios and shoebox apartments. I've worked full-time making art and juggled multiple side jobs. I've shown in galleries and quit them all in a rage. I've been stuck, and I've gotten my butt unstuck more times than I can count.

Looking back, I can see that the magical thread weaving through my journey is my ability to embrace play despite my perfectionism. And this is why I do what I do! 

I’m passionate about helping you overcome your resistance so you can get started. My mission is to help you get into motion, from stuck to taking imperfect action. This is why I’m obsessed with simple prompts, basic supplies, and tiny tasks. Because keeping things easy-peasy gives you momentum. 

The easier it is for you to sprinkle tiny play breaks into your day, the more you’ll boost your energy and take  back your time for what truly matters - following your joy. As in, reigniting your love of all things creative and getting back to messing around with your art supplies. Yay!


Get on my mailing list and grab the free Permission To Play Training:

This is a short, fun training (less than an hour!) where I'll guide you through my own 6-step framework for getting unstuck through play.

This is for you if:
You're an amazing, independent, self-motivated, art-loving perfectionist who finds yourself trapped by your perfectionism. Your creativity feels stifled and your joy has been put on hold.

You feel overwhelmed, unable to carve out time for the creative projects you love, and it's costing you your vitality.

If that's you, know this:
You don’t have to put your joy on hold anymore. 

Think of me as your personal trainer for getting your creative mojo back on track. 

In this training, you'll be scribbling, doodling, making marks, and having fun with your art supplies. No fancy skills required. Just you, some markers or crayons, and a willingness to play. 

What you'll take away: 
• The satisfaction of giving yourself the gift of spending time on yourself 
• The joy of having fun with your creative side 
• A simple framework you can use anytime you need to jumpstart your momentum
