Iām the creator of five groundbreaking books, beginning with Spilling Open, which was published when I was 23. I went on to write Brave on the Rocks, Messy Thrilling Life, The True and the Questions, and The Story Is Happening.
For more than three decades, my work has explored creativity, self-expression, and what it means to live an authentic, fully inhabited life. Along the way, my singular visual language and approach to storytelling have connected with a generation of readers and makers around the world.
Iāve had the privilege of guiding hundreds of people in reconnecting with their creative voice, loosening the grip of perfectionism and expectation, and finding the courage to make and share what is uniquely theirs.

Untether is made up of inspiring video modules, behind-the-scenes glimpses into my process, creative prompts, and invitations to make.
And let me say this right away: this is NOT a homework-heavy course.
Itās self-paced and designed to be lived with. You can take in the talks and imagery, follow the prompts that spark something in you, and return to the material again and again for the lifetime of the course.
Iāll be sharing my own creative process as we explore what it means to work big, loose, and without overthinking. Weāll look closely. Weāll explore color and begin finding your palette. Weāll use writing prompts to unlock memory, uncover language, and discover what happens when words, images, and color begin speaking in your own voice.
These are not exercises in making something āgood.ā
They are invitations into self-expression in its truest form.
And we are not getting precious about art supplies around here. ;) I work with simple, affordable materials you can find almost anywhere. Thatās kind of my thing. When we take our supplies too seriously, we tighten upāand then we donāt MAKE.
Weāll also be finding and gathering materials from the world around us. Your total supply cost should be no more than about $40.
Come curious. Come as you are. Bring what you have.
Want to hear what the experience is really like?
Youāre also invited to watch my conversation with Elisa Elliot, as she shares her experience with Untether and the impact the course has had on her life.
One tiny strategic thing Iād protect: āThese are not exercises in making something āgood.āā That line gets right to the emotional problem your buyer has. It tells them this isnāt another art class where theyāre quietly grading themselves the entire time.
This is meant to be a nourishing, enlivening, and recentering experienceānot another thing on your to-do list.
You can devote as much or as little time to Untether as feels right for your life. There are no deadlines.
That said, if you can give yourself about 45 minutes a week, I think youāll begin to feel the rewards of the experience moving beyond the course and into your everyday life.
Some weeks you may want to stay longer. Some weeks you may simply watch, listen, and take something in.
There is no falling behind here.
You get immediate access to all the modules of Untether.

There is a 7-day money-back guarantee. If for whatever reason you are not satisfied with the program, we will gladly refund you.
Not at all. Untether is open to everyone.
Nothing weāll be doing requires you to know how to draw or paintāor to consider yourself āartisticā at all.
This isnāt about technique or making something perfect. Itās about curiosity, expression, experimentation, and discovering what happens when you give yourself permission to create.
You donāt need to arrive knowing how. You just need to arrive willing.

Untether is self-paced. I created this version specifically to fit into your life and your scheduleānot the other way around.
I want the experience to feel easy and natural, something you can weave into your own rhythm without ever feeling like youāre behind or āmissing outā on something.
You can move through the course when it feels right, linger where something is speaking to you, and return to the material whenever you need it.
No keeping up. No falling behind. Just a creative experience that meets you where you are.

Iāve recently shifted the rhythm of the studio to create a little more space and balance in how I work, so weāre no longer in the inbox every day. We check in regularly and will be happy to get back to youājust allow us a little time to respond with care.
Thank you for being part of this slower way of doing things.
