As a wellness practitioner and artist, I lead Inner Discovery Painting sessions through watercolor, guiding individuals to harness the power of visualization, art, and nature for self-exploration and transformation. My practice merges watercolor painting, herbal knowledge, and the healing essence of flowers, offering a meditative and intuitive approach to creativity. Through my sessions, participants engage in mindful painting experiences that inspire reflection, relaxation, and personal insight. Each session is designed to deepen the connection between art, nature, and inner well-being, creating space for both self-expression and healing.

Testimonials
“I learned so much about myself when I took Kris’ workshop. Watercolor is now a necessity for me to relax after a long day at work. I love the way Kris leads me but allows me to discover my own style. I highly recommend this for anyone who feels stuck and needs a creative outlet to move forward.”
-Jaren Jones
“Music and ambiance was relaxing and enabled me to focus on painting. I loved Kris's energy and support throughout the class.”
-Nobuko Kikekawa
“I never thought that I would have so much fun painting. That experience of closing my eyes, going back to my childhood and making me think about things that made me happy. And taking that energy and using it as strokes of color on the pad. It was therapeutic. And the tea was everything.”
-Ron Thompson
