Paint From Your Soul™ Workshops
Join Carla in an art experience where we will fuse the energy of the Divine Feminine into a powerful painting that connects you with your authentic Self.
Paint From Your Soul™ was designed for people who want to experience the deeper, spiritual side of art and the hidden meaning it can hold for its Maker. Even though Paint From Your Soul™ was designed by an art therapist, it's not therapy. The focus is on using art as a self-reflective tool that takes you on a journey.
Overcome creative blocks -> reveal your authentic self with art
Move from creatively BLAH to -> Creating from your Divine Feminine energy
Let go of the guilt of NOT making art -> Express emotion ON your canvas - feels great to let it OUT!
Instead of not trusting -> Enhance your intuition and let the image guide you
Make a deeply meaningful painting that embodies your feminine empowerment in a sacred community
This will be a VERY unique experience of the deeper, spiritual side of art.
We will build up layers of emotional expression and color as the base layer for your Divine Feminine woman to emerge.
Fuse in archetypal imagery to AMPLIFY the meaning and energy you want to convey.
Learn how to "trust the image" and let it guide you to what wants to happen, enhancing your intuitive knowing along the way.
This is a transformational art journey held within a sacred container that will reveal surprising things about
WHO you are…
And who you're becoming…

What Participants are saying!
“Wow! Carla did an amazing job. Her workshop exceeded all of my expectations. I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical at first. I had never heard of art therapy. But Carla patiently guided us through a step-by-step process that helped me let go of issues I had been holding for far too long. I put intention into my work and the work itself spoke back to me. I’m not an artist and had never put paint to canvas before, but I’m amazed at how my portrait turned out. Simple steps. Deep insight. I learned a lot – about art and myself. I would love to do this again and recommend Carla’s workshops to anyone who’s eager to explore how creating art connects to your soul.”

— Myronie
My husband and I found the concept of Paint from Your Soul intriguing and even though my painting career peaked in kindergarten, we took the plunge.
With Carla’s guidance I was able to explore the many virtues of the goddess. My experience was amazing, I recommend Paint from Your Soul for anyone looking for a creative way explore their emotions.

No, I am not in favor of critiquing artwork in general. I don't find it therapeutic or supportive of the art maker.
