Why I am a Coffee Artist?

Coffee is my muse and has been my favorite painting medium for many years. It’s taste and the way it reacts when painted on watercolor paper keep my creative juices flowing. The familiar aroma become part of my coffee painting experience.
I have found an unexpected benefit from painting with coffee. Teaching others how to paint with coffee is one of the unexpected pleasures painting with coffee continues to give me. People are not afraid to paint with coffee because it isn’t paint. Over the years I have experienced the joy of seeing blocked individuals paint for the first time. As an artist I am able to encourage a comfortable creative path for beginners to follow.
As a ”Coffee Art Coach" I provide Workshops/Classes/Private Lessons.

What first inspired me to paint with coffee?

• It is easy to quickly learn how to paint with coffee.

• Painting with coffee releases fears beginners have and offers new techniques for more experienced painters.

• Great conversations develope while talking about the possibilities painting or drawing with coffee offer.

• Coffee art is unique and people are fascinated by the idea of painting with it
