Into The Myst

Let go of expectations and rediscover the magic of painting with Into the Myst, a soulful new class by Katrina Koltes. In this gentle, intuitive journey, Katrina invites you to release fear and create from a place of joy and personal meaning. Instead of focusing on perfection or outcomes, you’ll be guided to connect with what truly matters to you—what you feel called to express through your art.

Together, we’ll ask deeper questions: What do I want to paint? What do I want to say? You’ll be encouraged to silence the inner critic and step into a space of curiosity, courage, and self-trust. This is about making art that feels honest, heartfelt, and uniquely yours. With Katrina’s warm guidance, you’ll explore expressive techniques that help you create without pressure—and instead, with purpose and play.

Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just starting out, Into the Myst offers a nurturing space to reconnect with your creative spirit and uncover the quiet beauty of painting from the heart.
