Coming This May...

As many of you know, we recently made the big move to Portugal, and it’s reminded me how vital creativity and community are. That’s why I’m so excited to introduce something new inside Studioworks Academy—The Sketchbook Society! Launching May 1st, this monthly group will keep us inspired and connected. Stay tuned!

Discover the magic of winter in Winter Findings by Kristy Kensinger. This class invites you to explore soft, expressive art through fluid ink washes, muted jewel tones, and delicate layers. With short, focused lessons, you’ll create moody winter-inspired pieces—perfect for busy schedules.

This month, we’re exploring the beauty of simplicity in art—how less can truly be more. As life shifts and settles, we’re inviting calm and clarity into our creative practice. Let’s step back, strip away the excess, and discover how minimalism can amplify meaning and expression in our work.
