Create Your Best Work
Do you ENJOY creating your art?
What if you could draw and paint without the struggle?
Wouldn't it be fun to KNOW where you want to go with your work, HOW to get there, and to LOVE the journey along the way?
Being a confident artist isn't just about talent and skill. It's about knowing what mark to put down next. It comes from trusting yourself. You get that from practice--and from working with the right teacher.
When you study with Maggie Parr, you don't just learn to draw. You learn how to SEE. You reconnect with the joy that made you want to create in the first place. Here at ParrCreate, we help you realize certain truths:
Your art is your birthright--and only you can claim it.
You can access your Muse energy and inspiration at any time--it's always inside YOU.
Once you get clarity about what you're drawn to and why, your path forward will create itself.
You can paint/draw/express almost anything with a handful of fundamental skills. You only learn the rules to break the rules!
At ParrCreate, you can take online and in-person classes, ranging from Oil Painting Basics to Uncovering Your Purpose. You can also join the Art Ship, a productivity group for committed artists. You'll learn to create masterful work that feels intentional, alive, and ready to be shared.
"I help artists strengthen their craft, clarify their vision, and build a sustainable practice--one fun step at a time. I've distilled almost 40 years of painting into practical lessons that anyone can use. Most of all, I love seeing the spark of excitement in students; eyes when they realize what amazing things they can create!" --Maggie Parr
