Events & Art for Queer folks, Allies, & creative Misfits
My fellow artists & oddballs, Listen Up!
I know the world is heavy right now.
But your art matters.
Every brush stroke, every sketch, every wild, messy creation.
It’s healing.
It asks us to slow down. To feel deeply and fully.
Witnessing art does the same.
Your art is your voice, your story, your perspective, screaming out into a world that often wants to quiet us.
We need your vision, your joy, your courage.
Welcome to a creative space where all of you is welcome.
Where you don’t need to “fit” a certain mold to belong here—your voice, your creativity, and your perspective are valued and celebrated.
Make Braver Art
Express yourself in ways that feel vivid, alive and unapologetically you.
Inclusive Art Events
Feel seen and supported regardless of background, experience level, identity, or artistic ability.
Join Thousands of Artists
I’ve helped thousands of creative souls reconnect with self-expression through art workshops & retreats.

“It’s been life changing.
The word that comes to mind is phenomenal. I didn’t think I’d be able to afford this trip, but it’s been worth every cent. I think there is a lot of inner healing going on even if that wasn’t the intention. It just happens because there is a trust that builds sharing an unknown experience you never had before. There were people who came to this retreat with no art experience at all and Becky breaks through that right away so it’s not scary. I’m more professional artist and I learn new things every time. I didn’t want it to end!”
— Debbie - Italy & Costa Rica Retreat Participant -
“Beyond my wildest expectations.
I knew it would be fun because Becky is just so full of joy, and her essence for life is contagious. She was really great about taking away the fear of failure, fear of being judged, or fear of doing it wrong. She created a space where none of that shit was here. I love that! What's the most surprising thing is how much I'm going to miss everybody when we leave tomorrow. It's money well spent and time, it's like they're leaving an imprint on my life.”
— Ginny, Italy Retreat Participant

Hi, I’m Becky
I know what it’s like to sit in a retreat or an art class and feel like the outsider.
I also know what it’s like to lose touch with the things that make you feel most alive. To quiet the voice calling you toward joy, creativity, and belonging because life has convinced you there are more practical or important things to do.
It wasn’t that long ago that I had been away from art for nearly two decades, moving through some of the hardest chapters of my life and making little space for the part of me that wanted to create.
Finding my way back to art changed everything. And it’s why I care so deeply about creating the kinds of spaces I once needed myself.
My mission is to create welcoming, inclusive spaces where all voices belong, especially queer people and others who have too often been made to feel like outsiders. Spaces that celebrate individuality, joy, and connection, and remind us that art is for everyone. And you belong here.
