Frequently Asked Questions

My workshops and courses are for creative women who feel a tug to explore their artistic side — whether you’re a complete beginner or returning to art after a long break. If you crave a playful, judgment-free space to create, experiment, and express yourself boldly, you're in the right place.re

Nope! You don’t need any prior experience or “natural talent.” You just need curiosity and a willingness to show up for yourself. My approach is all about fearless exploration and joyful expression — no rules, no pressure, and definitely no perfectionism here.

That’s exactly why I created these experiences! You are creative — you just may have forgotten how to access it. Together, we’ll quiet the inner critic, let go of expectations, and rediscover your playful, fearless side.

These workshops aren’t just about learning techniques — they’re about stepping into your courage, silencing self-doubt, and creating from a place of joy and curiosity. You’ll get permission (and encouragement!) to make messy, imperfect, authentic art that feels like you.

Each e-course includes a supply list, but I always encourage you to use what you have first. You don’t need fancy or expensive materials to make meaningful art. Most of my lessons are designed to be flexible, so you can adapt based on your budget and what feels inspiring to you.re

My e-courses are self-paced, so you can learn on your schedule. You’ll get lifetime access to video lessons, and printable supply lists. You can revisit the content as often as you like and move at a pace that feels good to you.

Because of the digital nature of my courses and instant access to content, refunds are not available. However, I want you to feel confident and excited when you join, so feel free to reach out with any questions before purchasing.

Yes! Many workshops and e-courses include access to a private Facebook community where you can share your work, ask questions, and connect with other brave creatives. You’ll find support, inspiration, and new creative friends cheering you on.

My lessons are designed to fit into real life. You can start with just 10–15 minutes a day or set aside a longer stretch when you’re feeling inspired. There’s no “falling behind” — you create when you can, and every small step counts.

My Facebook community offers plenty of opportunities to share your work and receive encouragement and feedback either directly from me or within our community. You can always share tag me — I love seeing what you create!

That’s completely normal. You’re not alone! In our community, bravery is celebrated more than polish. You’re encouraged to share as much or as little as feels safe for you. Remember, showing up is already an act of creative courage.

Absolutely! My e-courses are open worldwide. You can join from anywhere as long as you have a reliable internet connection.

There’s no pressure here. You have lifetime access, so you can return whenever you’re ready. Art is a journey, not a race. I’m here to support you however and whenever you decide to show up.

Once you complete a course, you’re invited to keep exploring! You’ll have access to advanced workshops, new creative prompts, and our ongoing community support to help you continue building your brave art practice.

Yes! I occasionally offer in-person workshops and art retreats for those who want to dive deeper and connect face-to-face. Keep an eye on my newsletter and website for upcoming dates and locations — or reach out if you’re curious.

Creatively Misty is based in beautiful western Oregon, and most workshops happen right here in my local creative playground — places like Springfield, Walterville, Leaburg, Vida, and Blue River.

Retreats are usually hosted in inspiring Oregon locations too, but sometimes I love to sneak away for an artful adventure in Washington or California. You never know where the next creative escape might pop up — and that’s part of the fun!

A workshop is like a creative playdate — a few fun-filled hours (2–5) where we focus on a single technique or project. You’ll get hands-on, make a little mess, and discover something new, all in a joyful, laid-back atmosphere.

A retreat, though? That’s the ultimate creative getaway! Over three to five days, you’ll enjoy a mix of inspiring workshops, activities, and plenty of “free creative time” to play with your own ideas and materials. It’s your chance to step away from everyday life and fully immerse yourself in color, texture, and fearless exploration with kindred spirits.

Signing up is a breeze! Just hop over to the workshop or retreat page, find the experience that lights you up, and click that big, happy registration button. You can also head straight to the shop and snag your spot from there. Easy peasy — and then you can start counting down the days to your creative adventure!

Once you’ve snagged your spot, you’ll get a cheerful welcome packet sent right to your inbox. It’ll include all the fun details — exact addresses, check-in times, what to bring, and everything else you need to feel excited and ready for your creative adventure!

Of course — you’re more than welcome to bring a friend, as long as she’s an adult female and registers as a paid participant!

All Creatively Misty workshops and retreats are designed exclusively for adult women. It’s a special space to connect, create, and explore alongside like-hearted women who are ready to dive into their art and themselves.

So if you’d love to bring a friend, sister, or your favorite creative soul sister — go for it! Just make sure she signs up too, so she can join in on all the magic.

Nope — all in-person workshops and retreats are designed exclusively for adult women. These gatherings are meant to be a special space where women can connect, create, and explore freely alongside like-hearted souls, without distractions.

It’s your time to focus on you, your art, and your creative journey.

I’ve got you covered with all the goodies you need for each workshop! The supplies, tables and chairs, so you can get comfy. Just don’t forget to bring your favorite snacks and some refreshing water to keep those creative juices flowing!

Workshops are cozy, joy-filled gatherings for up to 10 creative souls. I keep things small and friendly so everyone gets plenty of one-on-one support, space to explore, and time to bring those fabulous projects (and bold ideas!) to life.

Art is all about exploration, and every creation will be as unique as you are! Even though I guide you step by step, your piece might not look exactly like the sample (or your neighbor’s) — and that’s part of the magic.

It’s totally normal to feel unsure about your piece sometimes, especially when you’re trying something new and brave. Please keep in mind that even with all the guidance and support, you might not always love your final result — and that’s okay!

Just a little note: there aren’t discounts or refunds if you’re unhappy with your finished project. But I promise, you’ll learn, grow, and leave with new skills (and maybe even a new perspective on your creative journey).

My retreats are designed to be cozy and intimate, with space for up to 10 overnight guests (depending on the location). This small group vibe makes it easy to connect, make new creative friends, and feel truly seen — no getting lost in the crowd, just lots of laughter, inspiration, and heartfelt community.

Creatively Misty provides all the crafty goodies you’ll need for our fun, guided projects — so you can just show up ready to play!

For your personal creative time, feel free to pack your favorite art supplies or any projects you’ve been itching to work on. The venue will have tables and chairs all set up for you.

Depending on the retreat location, you might also get cozy perks like bed linens, towels, and a kitchen stocked with all the essentials (plus coffee and tea for those creative mornings).

Just be sure to peek at the specific retreat info page for all the juicy details. And don’t forget to bring your favorite snacks and something to keep you happily hydrated while you create!

The dining setup depends on our retreat location! Some venues treat us to delicious, prepared meals, while others offer a fully stocked kitchen so you can channel your inner chef (or keep it simple and snacky).

Be sure to check your retreat’s info page for all the tasty details. And don’t forget to pack your favorite snacks and drinks to keep those creative vibes (and energy) going strong!

Nope! You’re always free to spend your retreat time however your creative heart desires. All activities are included in your retreat package, but there’s no pressure to join in — you can dip in, sit out, or do your own thing. Just a little heads-up: if you choose to skip an activity, there aren’t discounts or refunds, but you’ll always have the freedom to follow what feels right for you!
