Hi, I'm Ivana

It gripes my ass seeing beginners struggle with making art because they aren't confident in their decisions or can't get ideas, and spend months (even years) fighting the blank page thinking they aren't creative enough or artistic enough. Dude, let's get you a different experience so you'll realize you CAN be a BADASS ARTIST, in your mind, soul, and heart. To anyone that tells you differently, talk to the hand!
