As a Creativity Coach and Art Coach, my vision is to help you learn to be more creative (access the joy of creativity.) This video was shot in my art studio, The Emerald Lady Duluth, MN. Video shot and edited by Bodhi Werner / @BodhiTheMovieMaker

On this channel, we cover all things creativity, home decor, home restoration, art lessons, art reviews, and more. In my videos, we will explore how to paint art, how to draw, how to be an artist, and more. I am inspired by modern and classic artists like Bob Ross, Georgia O'Keeffe, Frida Kahlo, and Beeple. Our home renovation videos will cover converting spaces to income-earning living spaces and other house tours.
