Embrace your Inner Sparkle

Inner Sparkle Arts was created based upon a lifelong love for creativity, a passion for connecting with others, and a desire to promote positive mental health.

Creating art has been both my passion and outlet for as long as I can remember. This led me to pursue a degree in Studio Art at Western Washington University, with the intention of pursuing a masters in Art Therapy and becoming an Art Therapist. While this was a beautiful path, I felt like it wasn’t quite right for me - but I wasn’t sure what else to do.

Then, seemingly by fate, I got an opportunity that shifted everything for me!

During a shift at my previous job at a brewery, I was asked by a customer if I’d be interested in teaching an after school art program for elementary and middle schoolers. Even though I had no experience teaching at the time, this excited me and I said yes!

Teaching these classes was incredibly fun, fulfilling, and meaningful. It filled me with joy and purpose to provide a space for these students to be creative, have an outlet, and connect with their classmates.

I realized that sharing my love of art with others is what I’m meant to do - It’s my inner sparkle!

From there I decided to switch gears, and pursue teaching art full-time. After graduating from college, I dove head first into building this business to help others unleash their creativity.

Today, I partner with local Seattle businesses to provide creative experiences for the public, and teach private painting parties to bring an unforgettable art experience to you!

I bring my experience, enthusiasm, and sparkle to every partnership, event, and class -and I can’t wait to share that with you!
