About Us · a letter from Sue Wachter
You ARE an artist.

Those who only saw art as something that needed skills they did not have gave up on their ability to be an artist.

Student work. From a Skills to Create session with Sue.
Why this exists
Are you the person, or do you know someone, who identifies with any of the following?
01
“I don’t have a creative bone in my body.”
02
“My brother or sister is the artist in the family.”
03
“My teacher told me, in some way, that my art was not good enough.”
I would love to hear your unique story. This is my motivation for Skills to Create. It is time to explore possibilities.
