Welcome to The Art Process!
We are an innovative in person and virtual art studio in southern California. The idea behind "The Art Process" is to nurture a love of art making as a healing form of creative expression. We LOVE to provide inspiring mixed media art classes, workshops and retreats for ALL levels.
If you are a beginner, we guide, encourage and inspire you to develop your own creative voice. If you have more experience, we help you to break through creative blocks and develop a body of work that is uniquely yours. If you are in the corporate world, we have developed a highly successful method for nurturing worker wellness, team culture and group bonding.
Our mission is to make art accessible to everyone, allowing for personal and professional development along the journey of life!
Kathy Leader, Artist and Mindful Creativity Coach
Hello and a warm welcome to the best way to de-stress!!!
Creativity for me, is a path to mindful self discovery. Through my own personal journey, I have moved from harsh self criticism (partly due to having a judgmental artist mother!) to nurturing a deeper understanding of what supports my creative growth. I want to share that all with YOU!
Come along for the ride! I have a deep belief in the healing power of art accessible for ALL ages and stages of life. If you are just beginning to walk this path, I provide support and guidance. If you already have a creative practice, I help you to move to wherever your next stage is, whether it is learning to challenge yourself with new materials and new subject matter or developing a more powerful creative voice. If you are part of a team in an organization, I work with your goals such as organizational health, team building and creative problem solving. You can learn more about that HERE.
I help my participants develop creative self confidence by taking the fear out of art making. HOW? By focusing on the PROCESS rather than the final PRODUCT and combining meditation as a certified facilitator.
My goal is to inspire, encourage and facilitate the art process through all of what I have to offer as a fine art graduate, a mixed media artist and a lover of kindness, mindfulness and creativity.
