Welcome! I’m Danielle Folkerts. As an artist and art educator, I create engaging, educational, and enjoyable artistic experiences. I aim to inspire and instill creative confidence through innovative opportunities that allow you to explore and experiment with art. You don’t have to be an artist or have previous experience to create. I am happy to provide you with the support you need at your own level. When attending my classes, I don’t want you to simply go home with a new piece of art, I want you to go home buzzing with inspiration and a sense of creative potential and community. All you need to do is show up with enthusiasm and an open mind, and the rest is taken care of. Through creating a comfortable and upbeat learning environment, supporting local businesses, and sharing my own skills and expertise I hope to provide you with a unique and unforgettable experience!

For over a decade I have organized and created workshops for schools, community centres, small businesses, military groups, private parties, fundraisers, and more! I work with all ages and I am happy to adapt each workshop for the appropriate audience and experience level. With my wide range of experience, I am able to organize and tailor workshops that fit your specific needs and interests.

"Danielle's workshop was simply fantastic! She is a knowledgeable and engaging instructor, and creates a fun, non-judgmental environment that allows people of all abilities to learn and have a good time. I will definitely be doing more of her workshops in the future and would recommend them to anyone who wants to improve their skills or just have a fun evening!" - Katherine, Watercolour Student, 2020
