Here's what past participants are saying:

"Artist Zoom Play Dates are a fun and safe way to grow in my art practice.  We try new things and Briana provides both connections for participants to go deeper on a topic and recorded directions for those that need to review.  I love this art community that I can join from my basement art space."

-Deborah 

"I so enjoyed the Live Zoom Art Play Dates and Learning Sessions. I learned so much and I became more open and comfortable in my own abilities. It was great to see the same participants each time. Briana gives really good instructions and shares so many additional resources."

"I always learn so much from Briana. Her passion is infectious and it always inspires me! Her classes are also engaging and fun and always a no pressure just play environment."

"I highly recommend the Live Zoom Art Play Dates with Briana. Tuesdays are my favorite day of the week! Briana makes it fun, and I learned so much each week. Also, I enjoy working with the other participants and sharing."

"Briana'a weekly Zoom Art Play Dates have been a highlight of my weeks. I've learned so many new techniques and had a lot of fun! Briana's focus on the process rather than the outcome is so supportive . . . . really frees me up to just dive right in."

Thank you for taking care of yourself through creativity and community. I truly can not think of a better way to get through these challenging times.

I honor you and am so grateful to be here with you.

New Art for the Holidays and Other Updates

Greetings, Everyone,

I hope you are well and finding some peace and calm in the midst of your days.

I have been busy making art to sell in my OrangeSpiralArts Etsy shop! 

This is a new push for me, and so far, I am pleased with the response.

I created a series of Angel paintings. I have sold 3 of the 6.

Here are the ones that are remaining at the time of this writing.

From left to right:

Angel of Faith 

Angel of Forgiveness

Angel of Reason (SOLD)

Angel of Serenity

I also am working on a series of pinwheel collage art ornaments.

I have 8 Pinwheel Heart Ornaments available, and 4 more smaller ones in the works.

If you are subscriber to the Orange Spiral Arts newsletter, you have an email waiting for you with a discount code for FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING Friday, Dec. 10-Sunday, Dec. 12, 2021.

(Look for my photo at the bottom or sidebar of this page and the words "Subscribe to our mailing list" to get yourself subscribed).

Another fun project I have been working on is making zines for the MN Visual Journal Collective 2021 zine swap.

I had a few extras, so I may list those in my OrangeSpiralArts Etsy shop soon.

On top of preparing art to sell, I have also been participating in the art challenge called CarveDecember. It's hosted by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer. The idea is to carve a stamp a day for the month of December. There are prompts, but I do my own thing.

Last, but not least, I will be offering more Live Zoom Art Play Dates and Learning Sessions in 2022. This fall and winter of 2021, we've been meeting on Tuesdays at 11am CST. If you have additional times and days of the week to suggest, I am all ears! I am deep in the planning stages of 2022 right now. 

 

 

 

Small Business Saturday 2021-Thank You Discount

Thank you to all previous, current, and future customers! I have almost everything in my OrangeSpiralArts Etsy shop for 25 % off, Nov. 27-28, 2021.

Thank you for shopping small this holiday season!

I appreciate your support and business so much!

Take good care out there! 

With Love,

Briana of Orange Spiral Arts

Live Zoom Art Play Dates and Learning Sessions-Fall 2021

2021 Live Zoom Art Play Dates and Learning Sessions

Greetings, Everyone!

My name is Briana, and I am a mixed media artist and teacher.

I am excited to announce that this fall, I am hosting an 8-week session of LIVE Zoom classes.

Each class is only 1 hour, which is a wonderful amount of time to squeeze into your busy life.

Class takes place Live on Zoom- Tuesdays, beginning Sept. 14, 2021 at 11am-12pm CST. 

The 8-week session continues through Tuesday, November 2nd, 2021, 11am-12pm CST.

These sessions are NOT recorded. My hope is that will be motivation to join the Live session, so you can get the most out of each class, while connecting with other human beings.

After registration, you will receive an email with the Zoom link, and all suggested supplies to gather for each session.

Policy Note: Due to the nature of running a small business as a solopreneur there will be no refunds.

Sample Images

I must tell you that my artistic style is loose and free. I prefer the look of imperfect art and making art that is imperfect lights up my soul!

When you sign up to work with me, you will surround yourself with love and color!
