Create Your Best Work
What if you could create art that astonished you?
Most people think that artists are innately endowed with talent, and some invisible hand guides them to create masterpieces. Or some other story that sets artists apart from everyone else.
But talent is only a small part of the equation.
The main ingredients to becoming a good artist are:
Passion for creating things
A way to connect with "Muse" or "Creator" energy
Learning skills and techniques that interest you
Practice over time
Here at Parr Create, you'll learn all of these skills. You can take online and in-person classes ranging from Oil Painting Basics to Uncovering Your Purpose. You can also join the Art Ship, a productivity group for committed artists. You'll learn to create masterful work that feels intentional, alive, and ready to be shared.
"I teach artists how to strengthen their craft, clarify their vision, and build a consistent, sustainable practice. My approach is informed by theory but grounded in practical experience. " --Maggie Parr

“When pressure drops and attention sharpens, your best work naturally emerges. That’s the beautiful zone of genius that makes creative work so fun.” – Maggie
