Testimonials From Past Live Workshop Participants
Volta is such a wonderful artist and teacher! I took a painting meditation class with her online – she created such an accessible space that was not intimidating at all, as someone with no painting experience. I got in a zone and kept painting for over an hour after the workshop! In the end, I was pleasantly surprised by my creations and how present and relaxed I’d felt the entire time. Volta activated that side of my creativity; she is so wonderful at helping people tap into that part of themselves.
Further to that, her work brings such joy, and you can’t help but pay attention to the brands she designs for and event experiences she creates. Volta sparks joy, colour and possibility in everything she does! I can’t recommend her work enough!

Recently, I participated in her Watercolor Meditations workshop through a Creative Mornings virtual field trip that was amazing–I learned 6 different ways I can meditate using watercolors, each way providing a different meditative experience based on what I might need in the moment. Volta was a great teacher, constantly guiding us with easy to follow examples and reminding us that there was “no right way” to do it, but that we should just let our creativity flow and see what happens.
If you are looking for someone to help you start your watercolor journey or to bring a spark of creativity into your company, Volta is definitely the right person to help you do that.

Volta led an introductory watercolor workshop virtually in the fall of 2020 for the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, and it was such a hit! We had a lot of fun learning the basics and her thoughtful teaching style meant everyone was on the same page and understood the process together.
Her virtual setup was perfect for remote workshop participation, and she regularly checked in with all the Zoomers to make sure no one was confused. She focused on two artworks in our collection, and we had so much fun recreating them at home! I look forward to working with Volta again in the future!
