Worried about screen time? This course is designed for you!

As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I know that too much screen time can feel overwhelming. That’s why this course is designed to be calm, immersive, and hands-on, so you can enjoy the creative process without screen fatigue.

✔ Less screen, more creating — you’ll spend more time engaging with your art materials than looking at the screen.

My Journey: How art became my sanctuary

Hi, I’m Jane. As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and an artist, I know the deep longing to express yourself creatively, but feeling stuck in self-doubt or disconnected from that part of yourself.

My story starts with a struggle. I loved art in college but stopped creating for years. I felt a powerful urge to paint again, yet every time I tried, resistance and fear crept in — I questioned why I was doing it, and worried I wasn’t good enough, and that left me paralysed.

One day, someone gently suggested I try making art again. When I searched for classes, everything felt too rigid, formal, and intimidating — none of them spoke to what I truly needed: a space for emotional expression.

So, I decided to create my own space. I picked up a brush and just let myself play. I embraced making a mess, releasing expectations, and trusting my intuition. Sometimes it felt joyful and freeing; other times, it was deeply reflective or soothing.

This journey back to art became a lifeline — a way to process emotions, find calm, and reconnect with myself. Later, I discovered I was an HSP, and everything clicked. No wonder art had always felt like a sanctuary.

Now, I’m passionate about helping other HSPs and empaths experience the same freedom and joy in creativity. I’ve designed my courses to be gentle, intuitive, and emotionally supportive — a space where you can explore art without judgment or pressure, just like I needed when I was starting again.

“Working with Jane was really fun!  I felt the process enabled me to be free, to experiment & to connect with myself. I also felt emotion rising in me & happiness and joy to put paintbrush to paper, & to immerse myself in the beautiful colours & textures of the paint.”

Rachel Allen

“What Jane does goes way beyond teaching art.  She is able to help you to bring to light & express your feelings.  Knowing the power of art, Jane generously shares that with others. I would highly recommend trying Jane's approach to art & self-expression.”

Thalia Carr

As a fellow HSP or empath, I’d love to welcome you into this space where we can explore creativity together.

    If you already have some of the supplies, feel free to get in touch. I’m happy to discuss sending a tailored materials box or offering a reduced rate if you have what we’ll be using. 😊

  • To get the most out of the course, here’s what you’ll need:

    A Comfortable Workspace:

    • A table with enough space for your computer/laptop and your art materials. A kitchen or dining room table would be perfect for this.

    • Good lighting so you can see your work clearly.

    Protecting Your Space:

    • Cover your table with a plastic cloth or newspaper to avoid paint spills.

    • Wearing an old shirt or apron is optional, but helpful if you tend to get a little messy while creating!

    That’s it! Just set up a cosy, distraction-free space where you can fully immerse yourself in your creativity.

  • We’ll meet on Zoom for each session, and I recommend using tile view so you can see everyone in the group.

    I kindly ask that you keep your video on throughout the class so we can create a more connected and supportive space together — I love seeing your lovely faces!

    Choose a quiet, distraction-free space where you won’t be interrupted. This helps us all feel more relaxed and keeps the space feeling safe and focused.

    Pets are more than welcome (just watch out for curious cats and paint pallets!).

    To minimize background noise, I may ask you to mute when you’re not speaking — especially for those of us who are particularly sensitive to sound.

    You don’t need to have your camera positioned on your artwork, but from time to time, I may invite you to hold up your work to share — this is completely optional and pressure-free.

  • No worries! If you can’t make a session, I’ll send you a recording so you can catch up in your own time and won’t miss out on anything.

    Let me know if you need any extra support — I want you to feel comfortable and enjoy the experience at your own pace.

  • No, this isn’t art therapy, and I’m not a qualified art therapist. However, the process of making art in this way can feel deeply therapeutic. If you’re looking for formal art therapy, I recommend checking out the British Association of Art Therapists.
