Mixed Media Minis

Small acts of creativity can hold big meaning

Mixed Media Minis is an invitation to return to creativity in its most welcoming form.

Working small softens the pressure to perform and opens space for play, intuition, and presence. These miniature art pieces offer a calm, approachable way to create, especially when a blank page or larger format feels overwhelming.

This practice is a beautiful companion to meditation, reflection, or inner work. After listening inward, these small art tiles allow you to gently translate what you feel, sense, or imagine into form without overthinking.
In this online course, you will create multiple 3 x 4 inch Mixed Media Minis (Also known as ATC-Artist Trading Cards, or art tiles) using simple mixed media materials such as paint, collage, fabric, stitching, small found objects and more. I also share ideas for making your art practice portable, flexible, and supportive of your everyday life.
Come play small. Create freely. And allow these little pieces to hold something meaningful and help nourish your Creative Spirit.
Creativity doesn’t always want a large canvas.
Sometimes it wants a quiet corner, a small surface, and your presence.

Easy to follow step-by step techniques to help you create a variety of different style minis
