Watercolor for Wellbeing 🎨 — Teen Night in Lake Nona!

This Friday we’re running a low-key creative night for teens (16–21). No pressure, no need to be”good at art”— just watercolor, music, and a space to hang out and make some art in a guided session.

Come solo or bring a friend. It’s beginner-friendly and a nice way to switch off the pressure, while meeting other creative people your age.

If you have a teen (or know one who would enjoy this vibe and chance to meet like-minded people), pass this along! 🧡

Dinner and all art materials provided!

Location: @lnperformanceclub
Organized by: @consciousnona
Facilitated by: The Ugly Art Studio (that’s us! 😌)

We’re celebrating 1 year in business!!!

A letter from our founder:

On April 15th 2025, The Ugly Art Studio was officially established. I was working from home while taking care of my 6 month old son when the idea for The Ugly Art Studio landed amongst my whirlwind of thoughts. It started as a blip of light, just a spark of a thought, that grew and grew until it could no longer be contained in my head. It had to come out, had to be manifested as physical reality.

Over the next 6 months, with my youngest son still at home, and while teaching college art classes remotely, I began to develop the pieces of the business. One by one, elements began coming together - the name, the branding, the website, the products, the offerings, the network.

Finally, in October, the first batch of products were ready to launch. I opened my online store and signed up to vend at a few craft markets. I was in full-blown research and development mode, trying new products and assembling new art kits and activities, discussing possibilities, and doing our first sales a few wonderful clients.

I brought my cousin Shannon on board to help with sales outreach and community building to start expanding our network. We started to book sales calls and deliver customized art solutions and proposals to healthcare organizations and businesses.

At the turn of the new year, we got our first contract with a California hospital to provide art kits to their long term patients and palliative care patients. Then our kits made their way to Wisconsin to support family grief gatherings, and as donations for Milwaukee’s science center’s Health and Wellness Fair raffle prize.

Now, we have added weekly Art for Wellbeing classes in person in Orlando, Florida, with more time slots opening next month. We are partnering with local organizations to run Art for Wellbeing activities for employee appreciation and wellness activations.

Needless to say, the last year has been an absolute whirlwind. From the very seed of an idea, growing into a small business with professional clients and onboarding freelance employees, has been a dream of a lifetime.

Air Dry Clay Workshop in St. Cloud near Lake Nona | Art for Wellbeing Class

This Wednesday, we’re getting hands-on with air dry clay — exploring playful techniques, experimenting a bit, and letting the process lead (no experience needed, ever).

It’s not about making something perfect. It’s about giving your brain a break, using your hands, and maybe surprising yourself along the way.

🧡 Beginner-friendly
🧠 Creativity backed by wellbeing benefits
🌿 A different kind of midweek reset

📍 @visitthefamilyfarm in St. Cloud
🕥 10:30–11:45am

Stop trying to make it make sense.

That was the rule of today’s Surrealist Collage Workshop.

We started with ideas.
Then we let them fall apart.

Pieces moved. Plans shifted. Unexpected combinations took over.
And somewhere in that… flow.

Surrealists like Salvador Dalí believed the mind works best when it’s not over-managed. Today, we practiced exactly that.

Less forcing. More noticing.
Less control. More curiosity.

Art for wellbeing isn’t about getting it right. It’s about letting the process change you.

This is what art can look like when we remove the pressure — engaging your brain, lowering stress, and opening space for something new.

That's what The Ugly Art Studio is all about 🧡✨🎨

This is your un-needed permission slip to make art without having to be good at it ✍️🧡

Just some low key, wholesome, nervous-system-approved art time.

No need to explain it to anyone. No need to show it to anyone. You can even throw it in the trash when you're done --- it makes no difference!

The simple act of *doing* the art is where the benefits come from. So when your activity ends, the benefits have already been integrated.

Pick a medium and create 🎨

This is our favorite creative kit right now. 🌸

We made this kit for people who want to make art with nature and share it with friends.

The Pressed Flower Greeting Card Kit walks you through pressing flowers and making simple, thoughtful greeting cards using real materials. It’s structured enough to feel easy, but open enough to make it your own.

Everything’s included (just add flowers). No special skills, no complicated steps, no pressure to make it look a certain way.

It’s calm, hands-on, and genuinely enjoyable—especially if you’ve been wanting to make something but didn’t know where to start.

I’m not a team-building expert.

But I am an art educator.
And I work in arts-in-health.

So I’ll share what I see—again and again.

When adults make art together, something shifts.

Not because art is a cure-all.
Not because other approaches don’t work.
Just because art creates a very specific kind of environment.

Here’s what actually happens:
People relax.
Pressure drops.
They talk — without being told to.

This is art doing what it does best:
creating space for connection, regulation, and shared experience.

From an arts-in-health perspective, that’s art working exactly as biologically intended.

They talk — without being told to.

This is art doing what it does best:
creating space for connection, regulation, and shared experience.

From an arts-in-health perspective, that’s art working exactly as biologically intended.

✨ Throwback to Lake Nona’s Oh What Fun Market ✨

Still thinking about this magical little moment, tucked inside the gingerbread houses, surrounded by twinkle lights, curious passersby, and so many conversations that started with “I’m not an artist, but…”

One of our favorite details from the day: we set up a shared watercolor painting that dozens of people contributed to. Art tables turning into connection points. Strangers painting together. People smiling, exhaling, and giving themselves permission to create, just for the joy of it.

This is what happens when art becomes a gathering place. When people linger. When creativity feels welcoming instead of intimidating.

Lake Nona, thank you for showing up with openness and heart. More of this in 2026! 🧡
