From Endless To-Dos to Creative Me-Time

You can’t remember the last time you had meaningful me-time.

You’ve always wanted a creative hobby but don’t know where to start.

You feel guilty taking time for yourself amidst family or work demands.

You miss having something fun and fulfilling just for yourself.

Do These Sound Familiar?

You worry that starting a creative hobby will take up too much time.
You’re hesitant because you think you’re “not artistic enough” to succeed.
You’re afraid of failing or creating something that doesn’t look good.
You fear investing in another hobby only to leave it unfinished.
You’ve been told you’re “too old” to start learning something new.
You think creativity is only for professionals or artists, not busy people like you.

that's ok

It’s completely normal to feel unsure about starting something new or taking time for yourself. Whether it’s guilt, exhaustion, or fear of judgment holding you back, remember: that your creativity matters, and you deserve moments of joy and relaxation.

Cozy Sketches is here to make it simple, approachable, and fulfilling—one step at a time.

A Sneak Peek into Your Creative Journey

Picture this: Your sketchbook opens to a page filled with soft, colorful sketches.

A glowing candle flickers beside you, casting a warm light as you add the finishing touches to a charming teapot or a steaming cup.

You feel the tension melt away for the first time in ages—this is your moment.

Feel the transformation.

You’ve carved out time for yourself, and it feels empowering.

The simple act of drawing has become your go-to way to relax, reconnect with your creative side, and recharge. As your sketching skills grow, so does your confidence—not just in art but in your ability to make space for what matters to you.

Imagine how this newfound calm spills into your life.

You're more present with loved ones, more patient with challenges, and more at ease during the day. That sense of accomplishment from learning something new lights up your conversations, sparking curiosity and admiration from family and friends.

You’ve gone from “I’m too busy” to “I can do this.”

And it’s not just about the drawings—though they’re beautiful.

It’s about what they represent: your commitment to creativity, balance, and yourself.

With every sketch, you’re not just making art—

you’re making space for joy, mindfulness, and connection.

The skills you learn are a bonus, but the real gift is the way this experience makes you feel—fulfilled, happy, and whole.

Cozy Sketches is more than just a course—it’s a moment of peace in your day, a chance to reconnect with yourself and create something beautiful.

Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My Art & Design career spans 20 years, and I have over 30 years of experience working with people.

My lifelong creative journey has taught me one essential truth: creativity isn’t just a skill—it’s a way to connect with yourself and others, to find joy, and to create something meaningful.

I believe that everyone has the potential to be creative, no matter their age or background.

My mission is to make art approachable, fun, and fulfilling for all my students.
