The short answer: ANYONE! The Creative Circle is a monthly membership for curious souls looking to enrich their lives and explore the possibilities and gratification of a lifelong artistic practice.
Whether you are a true beginner just starting out in your creative practice, someone who has painted before but may be a little rusty, or an artist who is looking to level-up in their skills and find your artistic style, the Creative Circle has resources to support you.
The Creative Circle has a monthly theme that we will explore over four (4) weeks. You can view the syllabus here:
- Week 1: Skill Builder - an exercise to develop or revisit a fundamental piece of your creative practice
- Week 2: Small Painting Demonstration - Shelby shows you how to apply the month’s skills in a small tutorial meant to be done in less than an hour!
- Week 3: Full Length Painting Demonstration - A pre-recorded start to finish of a full painting that usually runs 1-2 hours
- Week 4: Live Q&A/Group Critique - chat with Shelby and your fellow Circle members via Zoom
Membership is month-to-month, so you may cancel at any time. Should you have to cancel, we can discontinue membership but are unable to refund any months already paid. You will have access to the course materials through the end of the month paid.
There are no refunds on annual memberships.

Facebook is not required to join the reactive Circle, but will serve as the central meeting place where you can share your progress, seek feedback from your fellow creatives, and participate in our Live Q&A sessions. All of the Live videos will be recorded so don’t fret if you can’t make it!
There will be periodic enrollment periods when you can join the Creative Circle. The next time it will be available is late 2023. Be sure to sign up for our waitlist so you don’t miss the next opportunity!
We have a beautifully designed, dedicated website with course content, including video demonstrations, instruction packets, and resources to help you learn and thrive. The Creative Circle (private) Facebook group is your place to share your progress, seek feedback from your fellow creatives, and participate in our Live Q&A sessions. Your participation is self-paced, so don’t worry about missing out - it will all be there when you are ready.

This will be a self-paced class with a combination of recorded video demonstrations, PDF instruction packets, and live sessions to answer your questions.
The Live chats are your opportunity to work with me and your peers through your individual painting challenges. There is still plenty of learning and feedback available if you miss them though - we will have a Facebook community where everyone can support each other and we will be checking in regularly to answer questions and provide guidance. Each module will have a comment section as well, where specific questions are addressed.
