Welcome!

Hi!  I’m Hannah, a wife and mother of four beautiful children.  As a working artist, mother, and teacher, I have seen art transform the lives of both young and old.  I believe art is a powerful tool that creates bonds, says what we cannot say, and helps us notice the beauty that exists all around us.  I’m passionate about helping women and children grow in their creativity and I believe some of the best ways to do this is through the amazing medium of watercolors and inviting yourself out into nature.

Our Core Values

Connect Through Art

We believe that art has the ability to heal and strengthen family relationships. It has the ability to connect us with ourselves, our higher power, our family, our community, and the world around us.

Educate the Heart

We believe that as mother’s it is our job to educate the hearts of our children.  When we educate the heart of our child, we are creating connections with them and building their educated mind.

Simple and Easy

We recognize that your life is busy during this stage of motherhood which is why we focus on making connections with your family through art simple and easy.  We focus on the necessities and help you to bring art into your family’s life easily.

What our students say
I love Nature’s Art Club because it is grounding. Once the supplies are out and we’re settled, the time is filled with concentration and laughter, wonder as their paintings unfold, excitement, and overall just an intentional space in time.
Sarah Teeter
I love that I can sit down with all my kids at our table and work on a painting together. I love that it’s for all artistic levels and ages. And I love all the little extras; the questions, facts, and videos. I asked all my kids ages 15 down to 1 to try it with me. Most of the time when I ask them to all do something together/with me I get at least one who’s resistant. Now when I say we’re doing a painting all I get is “what are we doing this time” or “can we do the ‘insert subject’ this time”? I LOVE having this dedicated time with them creating beautiful things (even from my ‘non artist’)!

I’ve always loved creating and have been wanting to learn watercolor for awhile. Taking time to create helps fill my cup and I also look forward to doing some with my kids!
