Do you find the process of growing your art practice overwhelming, uninspiring and unsustainable? 

You are not alone.

As a member of the Spice Art Club, you can reduce art practice overwhelm, feel inspired and receive support from fellow art entrepreneurs as you build your sustainable practice.

This is A SAFE space for creativity, imagination, and sustainable art practice from inside my studio.

It's about creating joy in our everyday art practice.
Incremental movement and consistency. I believe that making art is more sacred than the art itself. Enjoying our journey to our destination is where we feel most alive!

This membership will offer monthly lessons with live demonstrations, bite-size inspirations, and a community supporting like-minded artists to back you up. We'll learn together, we'll grow together!

I will show you
- Inspiration behind my mark-making
- Techniques and exercises to sharpen our design skills
- My juicy color mixing techniques
- How I produced my sketchbook
- How I troubleshoot my paintings
- My art-making stages from the beginning, middle, and the end
- Everything you want to know about my practice. :)
- And occasional fun art videos.

• Not recommended for artists who are entirely content with their current practice and don't need help or inspiration to develop their practices.

Spice Stories

Spice Art Club has changed my life! 
Before spice I would sit on YouTube and watch all your videos over and over. Then came the opportunity for a direct line to you! You have no idea how grateful I am and how much I've learned, but continue to learn from you.

- Hayley Gecelter


I love the variety and especially appreciate being able to go to recordings when I am able. I work full time and can't always attend live events.
- Barbara Weber

This is my favorite type of lesson - it helps me - to hear you consider changes, what you are thinking, and how relates to design and what you do and show/talk about what happens - thank you, Nino!
- Debra Stanis

Last Friday's session has been really freeing me up, a lot of my gears have disappeared since then, thank you and the Club!
- Benedicte Allee

An intimate community of artists in his group and is developing a series of mini-workshops within the membership-one of which is about using acrylic paint markers. After watching it, I finally got some big markers and experimented with them a bit today. He's got a lighthearted but diligent approach to art-making that resonates with me.
- Darla Myers

Wonderful - It is meditative and you use colors I would not think to put together and they look great. Very inspirational. Since the sketching demo - I started sketching daily and love it. 
Thank you!
- Debra Stanis

I can watch this for hours! It’s as exciting as a nice film on Netflix!
- Loes van de Ridder

I have been a member of Spice Art Club for a little over a year. In this safe place, as a beginning artist, I am learning daily about process over results and how to just post my artwork for accountability, letting go of more results. So much generosity and support from my Spicey Art Pals!

- Vicki Seastrom

I love the encouragement and sharing that takes place in this community. I also get a lot out of the feedback sessions and am enjoying the videos you've created. I'm still rather new to the group and haven't had the time I'd like to devote to exploring more of the site. There's a wonderful sense of playfulness here too! 

- Karen Miraldi

I feel I have more confidence when throwing the paint around (on the canvas, I mean). The paint on the floor, well that has always been there. I am less judgmental of my work. Just letting it flow. Also working in shorter bursts of time so I stop earlier before I have created mud. That alone was a huge step forward.  I was always ruining everything by overpainting & not letting it dry between layers.

- Nancy Fern

I have learned to trust myself. I have learned to simplify. I could go on, I have 100 good things to say, but I am trying to simplify. haha.

About me

I have been a visual designer and artist for over 24 years. Creating alongside other talented product designers and artists alike, honing my skills in shipping digital products and giving them some souls.

For the past four years, I became aware of a problem I've been experiencing that challenged the effectiveness of my creative practice. A "spiceless" art practice.

It was a practice where I didn't know where I was going and why. I didn't have my voice or point of view about my work. It was hard to visit my studio because I lacked confidence or vision.

Most importantly, I had lost my motivation.

I began searching for answers that would free me to do work that would rebuild my motivation.

I have tried and tested my findings, and I'm so excited to use what I know to help you find your very own spice. I'm so excited to share what I know with you!
