That’s it. SPARK does one thing.
It will reignite who you are and who you are becoming, using art.

“SPARK changed my life, literally.”
“SPARK changed my life, literally. It was the right thing at the right time. A simple thank you seems inadequate to describe my gratefulness for Nick and his team and for each one of you. SPARK… sparked me to life in so many ways. My vision board became a map of the steps I would take. I took CVP and now have doubled the size of my art studio. In the beginning, hope was the first to come back to me. Hope I could still do something with my life that was meaningful. I just turned 70. Hope was a lifeline I grabbed with both hands. You all became my tribe.”

“I’ve discovered my inner artist…”
“Before joining SPARK, I wanted to paint but had no idea how to start. SPARK exposed me to the basic principles so I could gain some skills, but of course being part of Art2Life has given me so much more than that. I have a new vocabulary, a new way to nurture my deep desire to make art, a new view of my personal art, and a focus more on process rather than the product. I have a daily art practice now, which includes play, experimentation, and exploration of materials. SPARK solidified my commitment to dive in deeper with confidence. It really does start at the beginning. It was such a great experiment to discover my inner artist and allow her to emerge and grow!“

will show you how to:
FIND YOU (AND FIND YOUR ART)
When you experience something new and different, It moves you. It stirs you back awake. This is because your SOUL craves it. To experience life more directly. To feel more. To make you feel more alive. To have you feel more and more like YOU. And then your Art will, too. And that is the secret to making extraordinary art. SPARK will teach you how.
REKINDLE YOUR CREATIVE FIRE
SPARK is an open invitation to awaken your creativity. To get clear of whatever creative deadzone you might be in. SPARK will get you ENERGIZED about art again, find new possibilities, embrace new techniques, and turn the creative flame within you into a firestorm of new ideas, dreams and possibilities.
Become Fully Self-expressed
SPARK is the path back to what you have always known and desired, but forgotten. Your true meaning and purpose. We connect you back to yourself, so you can become fully self-expressed. Side effects include: better health, wellbeing, and the feeling of being ALIVE. (And of course, better and better Art!)
It all starts with your SPARK Playbook…
You’ll begin SPARK with a blank sketchbook and a commitment to play.
During our 3 weeks together, all of your learning, experimentation and art-making will take place inside this sketchbook, and you’ll finish with a collection of your new favorite ideas, colors, shapes, textures, art-making insights and so much more.
You’ll use it to:
Paint. Draw.
Collage. Explore.
Reflect and take notes while you learn.
Mix your new favorite colors.
Jot down
insights +
exciting ideas.
Discover what’s working and what isn’t in your art.
Make space for the things you love.
This sketchbook is something you’ll treasure and return to for years to come.
Consider it your one-of-a-kind, indispensable reference guide to making art that lights you up…
Ready and waiting for you, whenever you need to re-ignite your creativity and find your way with your art.

“Using the sketchbook was a game-changer… a living, working guide that I can add to over time.”
“I’m rarely short of ideas and inspiration but didn’t know how to “go deeper”. SPARK gave me a new way to approach my work.
The way that SPARK unfolded, the exercises and specifically how we used our sketchbooks was a huge game-changer for me.
I’ve been able to use what we did in SPARK to help me explore my subject more thoroughly, to experiment, and document the things I’m working with in a way that makes them easy to refer back to.
I continue to use my sketchbook to explore ideas, practice color mixing and just play. It’s a living, working guide that I can keep adding to over time.
SPARK has a great balance of guidance and flexibility. It’s totally accessible, regardless of how experienced you are.”
