What makes Create2Breathe Courses different?
Here we lean into our own unique WEIRD - and work to release and express our own creative voice. I'll show you how to experiment outside the rules, and share tips and creative prompts to help you learn to trust our own creative instincts. I'll guide you through painting in a way that feels uniquely you!
Push Beyond Perfect to Find Passion
I truly believe that when you give yourself permission to enjoy the process of creating, your spirit is open to explore your own natural curiosities without fear or judgment. When we release the pressure of expectations and simply breathe in the present moment we gain creative clarity and experience more joy in the act of making.
You will not find courses here with step by step instructions on how to make your work look just like mine - although I am very open-handed about my own creative practice. Instead I want something bigger for you! I want to help you find your passion and learn to fearlessly express it with paint!
Create2Breathe courses are designed to help you:
Follow your curiosity and see where it takes you
Let playful prompts do the guiding
Paint it again. Get something new every time
Carve out sacred time to show up, play, and BREATHE
Find new passion and your creative voice!

Hi, I'm Tish.
I'm a professional painter and the artist behind Create2Breathe™
If you've ever stood in front of a canvas feeling like whatever you make won't be good enough, like it has to be perfect before it counts, I know that feeling. I lived it for years. It's the reason I walked away from painting for almost a decade after art school.
What brought me back wasn't more rules or better technique. It was letting all of that go and learning to PLAY again. That's the whole heart of Create2Breathe. This is your space to slow down, tune in, and return to your creativity with curiosity and care, not pressure.
Whether you're brand new to painting or a lifelong artist ready to feel free again, you're welcome here.
Now take a deep breath and come PLAY with me. Together we will discover the joys of Creating to Breathe.
JOY + LOVE,

Recent Works FROM the Studio
Having a daily creative practice is like being able to take a deep breath. I Create to Breathe. This practice allows me to slow down and tune in without judging the work as it is in the process of becoming what it wants to be. My process is built around playful curiosity, asking questions, and staying open to change. Letting go of perfectionism, and allowing the canvas to tell a story has truly transformed my work and allowed me to find my own creative voice. Now I'm passionate about teaching my students how to do the same. My courses don't teach you to paint like me - but they give you the tools to find your own beautiful way!
