Drastically Improve Your Drawing Skills
Do you ever:
...start in on books or courses about technique but then hit a wall?
...go through step-by-step tutorials and still don’t feel any closer to expressing a creative vision that feels like you?
...fear that the level you're at now is where your drawing skills will stay forever?
In Empowering The Inner Artist each skill-building practice is a gateway toward moving what's in your head and heart onto the page.
We'll teach you the hardcore skills and how to open up into intuitive expression, all the while cultivating the compassionate presence that transforms the learning experience from arduous to nourishing.
Your inner artist is ready.
You just need the tools, structure, and community to unleash her.

Meet Your Guides: Megan Saunders
I’m an artist based out of Nashville, TN. For the past few years my work has focused on the human form. In particular I aim to express the delicate strength and beauty that characterizes the human condition.
I've been a scientific illustrator for many years and my work has been featured in numerous journals as well as in teaching materials used at Duke University and the University of Toronto, from which I hold graduate degrees. My fine art paintings and drawings have been shown in galleries across the US.
I’m a certified meditation teacher with Suffering & Delight, a nonprofit that helps people with chronic pain and illness, and have been a Zen practitioner for over 20 years — first studying with a branch of Thich Naht Hahn’s Plum Village Sangha, and currently with Hobu Beata Chapman in No Walls Sangha.
I have had the pleasure of teaching art for almost 3 decades and I consider it an enormous privilege to help students find their unique creative voice while learning to ride the waves of the artistic process along the way.
...and Suiko McCall
I’m the Founder and Abbess of the Art Monastery, an international arts organization dedicated to personal awakening and cultural transformation through creativity, spiritual practice, and community.
I’ve authored two books and two workbooks, now available in 14 languages, and hold degrees from Yale and the San Francisco Art Institute. My large-scale paintings have been exhibited worldwide, from San Francisco to Rome. Certified as an International Transformation Host, Morning Altars teacher, and Mindfulness Meditation teacher, I spent four years in residence at Green Dragon Zen Temple. My spiritual practice blends Zen, shamanism, and intuitive exploration.
For nearly 2 decades, I’ve helped artists and non-artists alike embrace their creativity. It’s my passion, and I’d love to support you on your journey.
