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

You are not alone.

Welcome to Spice Art Club!

The all-in-one art practice resource community designed to Empower you to overcome doubt and build confidence, abundance, endurance, and inner peace. 
All in just fifteen minutes a day!

I am thrilled to invite you to join me as we explore the world of painting together. Regardless of your experience level - whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist - there is always something new to discover.

As a member of this community, you will have access to a weekly painting session I will guide you through. Along the way, I will share tips and techniques to help you improve your skills. Whether you paint with me or sit back and relax while enjoying the show with a bag of popcorn, there will be something for everyone.

But this isn't solely about painting. It's about creating a culture of safe, fun, and inspiring space where we can learn and grow together.

Each session will include educational snippets about painting, design, mindset, and more. You'll develop your artistic skills and broaden your knowledge and appreciation of the art world.

As a member, you'll also have the opportunity to connect with other artists, share your work, and receive even more ideas from other community members and me.

This is a supportive and inclusive environment where we celebrate our creativity and encourage each other to reach new heights.

This is a safe space to build mastery with a community of like-minded artists!

Can I get one-to-one teaching and feedback from you?
Yes, you can. We have live Zoom calls on the first and third of every month. In one of these sessions, I give direct feedback on your work. I'm very active in the club, and you can ask me any questions you have, either live, recorded, or in regular posts.

Will I learn about color, design, etc.?
Yes, you will. Our main course, which has five stages, covers how to start, edit, and finish your paintings. This includes sketching, color, and design.

Can I contact you for guidance?
Yes, of course! You can use our chat channel to reach me or ask the community for ideas. I think many ideas can be better than just one.

Yes. The last stage of our course is about how to run an art business. I share my experiences, what works, and what doesn't work.

Do you guide on how to price art?
Yes, we discuss pricing in the last part of our course, which is about running an art business.

If you are unhappy with your purchase, contact us within three days of the next subscription charge, and your membership will cease. Unfortunately, there are no refunds for the Membership.

Is this suitable for beginners or advanced artists?
This course is perfect for anyone who needs some spice back in their creative practice. My five creative stages will serve both beginners and advanced artists alike. This is a continuous practice to help us grow our intuition and artistic muscle memories.

Will I need new art supplies?
If you've already been making acrylic art, you may have these already. Here are my go-to supplies: Montana markers, Posca markers, Lukas Acrylic or any acrylic paints, soft pastels of any brand, Chip Flat brush from a home improvement store, Tupperware buckets, and shop towels, to name a few. I will supply you with the list when you're in the club.

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

With my experience spanning 26 years as a visual designer and artist, I have had the good fortune of collaborating with numerous talented product designers and artists.
Throughout my career, I have focused on creating digital products that marry technical functionality with a soulful essence.

Despite this, I have experienced a troubling challenge that has threatened to undermine the efficacy of my creative practice: a "spiceless" art practice. This is a practice without a clear sense of purpose, leaving me without my unique voice or perspective. I struggled to enter my studio with confidence and vision, and most worryingly, I lost my motivation.

Determined to regain my creative spark, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery, seeking answers that would help reignite my passion for art. Through trial and error, I discovered a set of principles and practices that reignited my motivation and helped me cultivate a more vibrant, meaningful, and fulfilling art practice.

I am excited to share my discovery and help you find your own "spice." Together, we can transform your art practice and reignite your creative flame.
