“These courses let me step outside my identity and expand what felt possible.”

I loved taking Pattie Miles’ Making Art in the Style of courses. Drawing in the Frida Kahlo course and sculpture in the Maya Lin course gave me permission to set aside my identity as a writer and experiment. The daily messages were thoughtful and nourishing, the exercises were engaging and fun, and the reflection prompts helped everything integrate. I’m still playing with rocks. Highly recommended.

“I woke up every morning excited to make art.”

Thank you for the five days of Making Art in the Style of Frida Kahlo. I immersed myself completely at home and experienced both focus and freedom. Each morning, I looked forward to your email and the day’s project. The exploration of duality in my own nature brought clarity to something I had long felt but never fully seen. I still wrestle with outcomes, but I love the process—and I want to continue with more classes in the series.

“Artistic Clarity kept my creativity alive when everything felt heavy.”

Over the pandemic, so many artists lost momentum under the weight of collective trauma. Working with Artistic Clarity helped me resist burnout and rebuild a sustainable artistic habit. Pattie helped me reconnect to my muse, my community, and my own sense of possibility.

“Pattie offers a way out of creative paralysis.”

I’ve forced myself back into the studio more times than I can count—sometimes creativity arrives, sometimes it doesn’t. Pattie understands this intimately and offers gentle, brilliant pathways back to flow. She is calm, centered, and endlessly resourceful.

“The course material is rich, generous, and designed for real artists.”

Pattie respects privacy and never pressures; instead, she invites. Her process helps you approach your art from many angles—practical, imaginative, aspirational. Her strategies are thoughtful, diverse, and creative, and her energy is infectious.

“You inspire me more than you know.”

Your creativity is fantastic and inspiring. Tonight I made something I’ve wanted to make for years—a tree light inside a cage. As I watch it, I’m reminded that growth continues even when we feel stuck. You sparked that for me.

“A master teacher who hands you the keys—but lets you choose the door.”

Pattie opens a corridor of creative possibilities. She seems to always have one more key, one more perspective, but she leaves the risk and reward to you. That autonomy builds true capability.

“My creativity expanded 100-fold.”

Before working with Pattie, my projects felt scattered. Through her guidance, I made space—in my home and in my mind—for my writing and video work. I now have a system that nurtures my current projects and welcomes new creative sparks.

Pattie’s thoughtful prompts draw inspiration from the deepest places. She creates a supportive, non-judgmental environment that surrounds you with artists on their own brave paths.
