Hi there, I’m Callen.
I help people live more creative lives.
I know how hard it can be to prioritize creativity - we can be too busy, tired, uninspired, or lack the confidence to make our ideas in the physical world. I know what it’s like to overcome creative hurdles; I have loved creating since I was a kid, and have been showcasing my multimedia art for over ten years across Manitoba.
Since 2023 I have worked one on one and in large group settings facilitating drawing, crochet, creative mentorship and more. I prioritize teaching foundational skills that enable participants to approach projects creatively and confidently.
I want to arm you with the knowledge to make anything, to problem solve, and to try again and again.
In my in-person classes I focus on community building, creating a welcoming environment and giving tailored support to each participant.
Making art can be challenging, yet it is so rewarding and so needed!!
Thank you for joining me!
What People Are Saying
“I had the great privilege of being part of the Botanical Shadow painting workshop (…) by the wonderful Callen Maude. It was incredible. I want to share that Callen had such a gentle and compassionate teaching method. Callen checked in with all of the members of the group more than once, and answered each question with care. We did such a fun entry activity and got to know our other group members well thanks to Callen making us feel welcome! Callen also encouraged each member to take chances and make mistakes and try different colours."
