Welcome to the Studio Vault:
A Living Archive of Art, Thought, and Becoming
This is not just a member’s page. This is the foundation,*the heartbeat*, of everything I’ve created, and everything still to come.
Here, I’m slowly opening the vault to over two decades of creative work: mixed media, photography, lesson plans,
worksheets, thought experiments, rituals, reflections, and personal practices I’ve gathered, tested, and lived.
It’s from *this archive* that I will continue to pull, expand, and refine the
lessons, workshops, and projects that emerge through Purple Inkwell Studios.
You are witnessing this space in real-time: being built, restructured, remembered. It is a living system.
Like an artist’s grimoire or a scholar’s private library, it will grow richer and more intentional with time.
A Studio for Every Story
At Purple Inkwell Studios, we believe that creativity is a birthright, not a privilege. Our membership and lessons are intentionally designed to honor and support people of all neurotypes, gender identities, sexual orientations, races, cultural backgrounds, and life stages. Whether you’re 19 or 91, newly curious or deeply seasoned, your presence here matters.
We are proudly an inclusive studio, welcoming anyone who is willing to explore, reflect, and create in the spirit of curiosity and respect. Our content is mindful of diverse learning styles, including neurodivergent thinkers, visual processors, and sensory-sensitive creators. The materials meet you where you are with options to read, listen, feel, and respond in your own time, at your own pace.
This is a circle, not a hierarchy. A sanctuary, not a gate. You belong here.
✧ Sliding Scale Membership Pricing ✧
All tiers recieve the same access
“Receive what you need.” This is for students, artists, single parents, or anyone in financial transition. Your presence is valued, and your creativity belongs here.
“Sustain the studio.” This tier reflects the true monthly cost of creating and maintaining the membership experience. If this price is accessible to you, it helps keep the doors open and the offerings growing.
“Give more, so others can receive.” This tier supports scholarship access, artistic expansion, and future projects. It’s for those who have the means and feel called to help hold the circle wider.
Not seeing an amount that tickles your fancy?
Whether your heart says “just a little something” or “take my gold, I believe in this,” you can choose your own contribution. Every drop of ink helps fuel the studio, whether it funds materials, storytelling hours, or quiet moments of myth-making.
Want to give more? Feeling generous?
Need to give less, but still want to be part of the magic?
This space was made for all types of creatives, dreamers, and patrons.
Contribute any amount that feels right for you,
because supporting art should never come with a paywall to the soul.
What You’ll Find Inside:
- Lessons, rituals, and studio exercises across storytelling, self-discovery, and creative practice
- Artistic elements and digital downloads for mixed media, journaling, and collage
- Exclusive content that is not available anywhere else, material I’ve used in my own healing and teaching. Books that I am writing, all of them, you have access to.
- And most of all: a philosophy that creativity is not a product but a *pathway* to meaning, power, and presence
This space is both a resource and a relationship. A place where I meet you, not as a finished brand, but as a lifelong student of story, myth, and personal truth.
Access to the Private Member Forum

What to Look Forward Coming Soon
This is just the beginning. The studio is expanding every week, and as the archive continues to grow, so does the creative magic you’ll have access to.
Here’s a glimpse of what you can look forward to as a member of Purple Inkwell Studios:
Writing & Creating Graphic Novels
At the heart of Purple Inkwell Studios is story. Here, you’ll get a rare, inside look at how graphic novels are born, from initial ideas
and worldbuilding all the way to panel layouts, visual pacing, and final ink.
Whether you’re here to write your own stories, learn how words and images work together,
Or just want to witness the creative process unfold, this space is for you.
Drawing Lessons
Step-by-step tutorials to help you build confidence, whether you’re a beginner or returning to drawing after years away.
We’ll cover everything from loose sketching and character design to emotional expression through line work.
These lessons are designed to be approachable, meditative, and deeply satisfying.
Art Journaling & Mixed Media Play
Get ready to create pages that *feel like spells.* We'll explore intuitive collage, layering techniques, texture tricks, and how to use writing, imagery, and symbolism
to turn your journal into a sacred, expressive space. You'll receive prompts, templates, and printable elements to make each page uniquely yours.
Studio Video Sessions
Watch me work in real time. You’ll get a front-row seat to my personal process, from raw sketch to refined page, from messy table to finished artwork.
These videos are filmed with care and honesty, showing you both the beauty and the behind-the-scenes of what it means to live as a working artist.
Audio Reflections & Creative Rituals
Sometimes, you just need a voice to walk beside you. I’ll be sharing personal audio essays, guided creative rituals, and reflections on topics like creative identity,
artistic healing, archetypes, and the messy joy of being a maker. Perfect for walks, journaling sessions, or quiet mornings in the studio.
Printable Resources, Worksheets & Collage Kits
You’ll also gain access to a growing library of downloads, habit trackers, goal sheets, visioning prompts, and themed collage kits you can print and use in your own creative practice.
This is a space designed to meet you *where you are*, whether you’re sketching in the margins of your day or diving deep into your next masterpiece.
The journey is unfolding, and I’m so honored to create alongside you.
