You’re Invited: Welcome to Doodle Friends Art Club

We’re so excited to officially welcome you into the Doodle Friends Art Club

What began as a simple art community has grown into a true home base for artists, coaches, and entrepreneurs who want to weave more creativity into their lives each month.

Inside, you’ll find 6 monthly workshops from creativity and painting to Hot Seat Coaching and Instagram Magic. I share guided lessons inspired by my current art collections, along with practical Instagram tips to help you grow your online presence. It’s become a space to recharge, spark inspiration, and grow together.

New Group Starts: October 1, 2025

 

Begin Here: Download This Month’s Calendar

The best way to stay on track is to begin by downloading this month’s calendar. It’s your snapshot of everything happening inside the Art Club — from live sessions to workshops and new lessons. Pin it up in your studio, keep it in your planner, or save it on your phone so you never miss a creative moment.

What’s Included in Your Membership

Every month inside Doodle Friends Art Club feels like a fresh burst of inspiration. Here’s what you can look forward to:

  • Monday Morning Meditation with Markers On the first three Mondays of the month, we’ll ease into the week together with a gentle creative ritual. Think of it as a peaceful reset that sets the tone for everything else you’ll create.
  • LIVE Monthly Art Workshop Once a month, we gather on Zoom for a live workshop. It’s a chance to create together, learn something new, and leave feeling totally inspired.
  • Hot Seat Coaching: This is where we get personal. You can ask questions, share your goals, and walk away with a simple plan to keep your creativity flowing. It’s also a wonderful way to connect with other members on the same path.
  • Instagram Magic: I love Instagram and have grown a huge following over there. Each month I will share tips of how I use Instagram to grow and scale my business and share my creative process.
  • Access to the Lesson Library Missed a session? Want to replay a favorite? The growing lesson library is always there for you, ready when you are.

Quick Start: The Love Your Artwork 5-Day Challenge

If you’re wondering where to begin, I encourage you to start with the Love Your Artwork 5-Day Challenge (it’s already included in your monthly membership).

This challenge is designed to gently guide you back into your creative flow. Over five days, you’ll:

  • Build simple habits that make it easier to sit down and create.

  • Explore fun, approachable exercises to boost your confidence.

  • Begin shifting the way you see your own artwork — with more joy, less self-criticism.

You can move through the challenge at your own pace (no pressure to finish in exactly five days!). Many members tell me this was the spark that helped them fall in love with creating again.

Think of it as your personal jumpstart — a way to set the tone for your journey in the Doodle Friends Art Club.
