You’ve waited long enough.
Many of my students tell me they used to love making art and experimenting with drawing, painting, or calligraphy. Modern life has a way of distracting us away from our creative nature.
A virtual treasure trove of art tips and tutorials.
I designed The Ferns to take the guesswork and isolation out of learning drawing, watercolor, and illustration.
When you join The Ferns, you gain a community of unfurling artists re-igniting their creativity. Membership includes exclusive access to my growing library of written instructions, demonstration videos, and even online courses so that you can learn at your own pace.

“I was most inspired by you to start watercolor painting when I met you sitting on the edge of a pond at the Japanese Gardens in Portland. You had your travel sketchbook out and I immediately went home and ordered.
You were a big inspiration to me and for that I am eternally grateful. Especially when the sun goes down and it gets dark … what else do I do but pull out my paint and start painting. Thank you, thank you.”
