Your Time is Now, to Start Creating!
Hi I'm Kerri...
I’m a full-time wildlife and nature artist who teaches soft pastel art to creatives of all skill levels—and I’m here to help you build confidence in your art and in yourself. Six years ago, I sold my business and moved to a farm to follow my creative calling. I know how scary it can be to start (or start again), and how powerful it is when someone believes in you. That’s what The Creative Barn is all about. I’ll be beside you the whole way—cheering you on, helping you grow, and celebrating every single win (including the ones you don’t think count yet).
"I went from part-time hobbyist to full-time artist after joining—this membership gave me the skills, confidence, and support to make it happen."
"After 35 years away from art, I’m now creating daily and loving the encouragement, feedback, and connection The Creative Barn brings."
"I always believed I couldn’t do art. But this community is fun, supportive, and makes me want to keep creating — and yes, buying more supplies too!"
