For over 20 years, this powerful, one-of-a-kind approach to painting has been highly praised by artists and non-artists alike as a tool for release, growth, and transformation.



This experience was unlike anything I have ever done. It unlocked blocks I’ve had in life currently, as well as found peace with the past. It may sound like a lot but it truly is remarkable.

I’m not a painter, and for years have felt intimidated by even trying. This class allowed me to simply put paint on paper and not worry about the “how” or any “professional techniques”. I was able to have fun, let go, and even cry.. .there is a lot of pent-up emotions that so many of us have, and this class is a healthy way of unleashing those emotions.

Just like our lives and mental health, it’s not always pretty, but getting it out of yourself for the world to see helps lessen the load we carry.

Intuition Painting is at first fun, creative, and then goes deep to
places that might take years to reveal and process.
When it’s hard to find words, art finds them for you.

I encourage my fellow veterans to make the decision to enroll, attend and complete Intuitive Painting workshop. They will be amazed that the course brings them closer to their inner most feelings and provides them an opportunity to explore their talents in a safe and sane environment were bad is good and good is always good.
— Male Veteran, Survey Response, 2023
As a veteran, and unlike civilians, we carry with us the faces, places, and experiences we’ve dealt with, sometimes in very deep and emotional places. These are things that only another one of us can identify with and understand. Most of us don’t talk about these things, yet they can fester inside from the very carrying of them, these wounds or unique challenges.

The process of Intuition Painting was unlike anything I’ve done before. For one, it felt safe within a small group of fellow veterans; most of us didn’t want it to end. Secondly, I think all of us benefited from the actual doing of the process. We were able to tackle obstacles in a way that felt freeing, without the expectation to produce, or tell, or reveal. What came out was organic and free-flowing, and was built on a certain trust we gained in each other.

I would highly recommend Intuition Painting for any veteran as an avenue of self-exploration and possible healing.
