Hi, I'm Colleen.

I'm a Creative Expansion Guide, intuitive painting facilitator, mother of two, wife, surfer, yogini, and lifelong explorer of what it means to live with greater awareness, authenticity, and joy.

Originally from Southern California, I now live on the beautiful northern NSW coast of Australia, where I spend my days balancing family life, creativity, and a deep curiosity about how we shape our experience through our thoughts, emotions, and the energy we bring to life.

I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts from California State University, Chico, but for many years after graduating, art took a back seat as I pursued other paths. It wasn't until after the birth of my second daughter that I felt a strong pull back to creativity. What began as a painting course soon became something much more.

I discovered intuitive painting.

What captivated me wasn't learning techniques or creating perfect artwork. It was the way painting became a conversation—a space to listen, explore, reflect, and connect with something deeper within myself.

Painting became a form of meditation, self-discovery, and conscious creation.

Through years of practice, I began to notice something remarkable: when we intentionally focus on the qualities we want to cultivate—whether that's confidence, peace, joy, abundance, self-trust, or authenticity—we begin to change the way we experience our lives.

Today, that's the heart of the work I share.

Through intuitive painting, workshops, courses, and community, I help people explore creativity as a pathway to greater self-awareness, alignment, and personal transformation.

Again and again, I've witnessed people discover insights they didn't expect, reconnect with parts of themselves they had forgotten, and leave the painting process with a renewed sense of possibility.

That never stops inspiring me.

If you're curious about using creativity as a tool for self-discovery and conscious creation, I'd love to welcome you into this community.

With love,

Colleen
