Welcome to my world of creativity and art! I'm passionate about various art forms, including illustration, design, typography, traditional art forms, and sharing "art biz" advice. I even offer trend-forecasting classes that can spark inspiration and motivation for you.
One of my cherished activities is cozying up on the couch with my iPad, where I love to experiment. Currently, I primarily use Procreate and Affinity Designer on the iPad, but I'm also well-versed in the Adobe Creative Suite.
My creative outlets not only fuel my artistic expression but also contribute to my art licensing ventures. I work with two agents, and I want you to know that there's ample space for you to start earning from your art if that's your goal too.
Not interested in making money with your art? No worries at all! Creating art purely for the joy of it is amazing. It serves as a therapeutic and cathartic outlet. Personally, having a daily(-ish) art practice has supported me through challenging times, including surviving an abusive marriage and battling cancer. Art has truly been my anchor.
My practice ranges from creating surface pattern design collections to developing large POD (Print On Demand) art pieces, and of course sharing my knowledge through the education portion of my business. I am a fully certified teacher who taught professionally for 30 years.
Feel free to explore and discover the wonders of art with me!
The Procreate Bundle
This is my most robust bundle with over 70 Procreate projects, too diverse to mention. Learn everything there is to know about this popular illustration software. learn about repeating patterns, illustration techniques, brush making, and so many more techniques!
The Affinity Designer Bundle
Affinity Designer has become an outstanding piece of software being used by more and more people who want to avoid paying for the Adobe programs in their subscription model. I cover illustration and surface pattern design and I have a template club for patterns where I release a new template and short class once a month.
The Adobe Illustrator Bundle
Long an industry standard, Adobe Illustrator was the first vector program I learned to use, in 1987! I still use it for many specialized functions such as it's auto-trace and its pattern preview. I continue to teach this as it it still considered the industry standard for professionals,
The Adobe Photoshop Bundle
Adobe Photoshop is a staple in the industry and is used by most professional designers. I have been using Photoshop since its first version. I still use it in my professional practice and would love to teach you some of the key features I rely on.
Free Classes, Shorts and Zooms
This bundle stores any recorded sessions like Zooms and Coaching Meets, as well as free classes and short tips and tricks. Check it out! there are many resources attached to the classes.
Art Business Classes
This grouping of classes is for additional info with topics that can help you as you transition into making an income from your art. I am always looking for new ideas for classes to post in this section and plan to add much more about POD and diversifying income streams.

I have become addicted on Delores's courses;
they are such a great resource of useful hints and techniques, very useful and inspiring.
- Sonja Mtc
Very cool techniques that I would have never thought of doing... but now I can't wait to try.
Thankfully I live in Las Vegas so I can have some really cool photos to test out with these new ideas!
Thanks again Delores... you are always super creative!
- Rhonda Reagan
This class exceeded my expectations! This is a fantastic class.
Delores is very generous with offering free brushes and a ready-built canvas. Her instructions are clear and inspiring.

As with all courses from Delores, this is a great one with her usual generous sharing of information and technique.
Delores always gives wonderful feedback and gives detailed and considered answers to questions. A superb teacher.
