Maybe it's been a while...
Life got busy, and somewhere along the way creativity slipped toward the bottom of the list.
Maybe you’re thinking:
- “I haven't painted in years.”
- “I'd love to start again, but I don't know where to begin.”
- “I have art supplies. I just never seem to use them.”
- “I'm not sure I'm artistic enough.”
- “I'd love something creative to look forward to.”
If that sounds familiar, this five-day adventure was made for you.
Imagine five days from now...
Your paints aren't hiding in the closet anymore.
You’ve made a place for them.
You’ve picked up a brush.
You’ve painted something wild.
And instead of saying:
“I used to paint.”
You might find yourself saying...
“I'm painting again.”
YES, I WANT TO START PAINTING AGAIN
This is for you if you...
- Used to paint and would love to begin again
- Have always wanted to paint but aren't sure where to start
- Have art supplies you've been meaning to use
- Love wildlife, birds, flowers, landscapes, and the natural world
- Want encouragement and connection without pressure or competition

Meet a few fellow creatives, get a quick peek at the week ahead, make sure you have what you need, and do a little creative dreaming before we begin.
You’ll leave thinking: “I’m ready for this!”
P.S. There may be a little surprise waiting for you! 🎨

Remember the Artist You Were
Reconnect with what you once loved creating and what still sparks your curiosity.
You'll leave thinking: “I really did love being creative.”

You'll leave thinking: “I have a place for this.”
DAY 3: CREATE
Paint Something Wild
Follow along as we create an approachable nature-inspired painting together.
You'll leave thinking: “Look what I made!”
DAY 4: FIND YOUR RHYTHM
Make Creativity Part of Your Week

“This is only the beginning.”
Every day we'll...
LEARN
Discover something that sparks curiosity.
CREATE
Take one simple step toward a more creative life.
REFLECT
Notice what you’re learning about yourself along the way.
No grades. No pressure. Just curiosity, creativity, and a little progress each day.

Hi, I'm Glenda.
Artist • Naturalist • Creative Life Guide
My love of nature began with evening walks around our family farm and eventually led me to a degree in Wildlife Biology and work as a park ranger and naturalist.
Art has woven through my life too — drawing, painting, photography, illustration, and plenty of experimenting along the way.
And like many people, I also went through seasons when work, responsibilities, and everyday life pushed creativity aside.
Today, through Discover the Wild Side, I bring art and nature together to help people rediscover the joy of creating.
I don't just want to teach you how to paint something.
I want to help you get excited about creating again.
