Why this exists

Every week, students post incredible work in our Facebook group. Pet portraits that make me cry. Botanical studies I'd frame on my own wall. Lettering pieces I wish I'd made.

I want to share your work more widely. On Instagram. On our blog. In emails to 80,000+ students who need to see that yes, women in their 40s and 50s absolutely can paint like this.

But I'm never going to repost anything without asking first. That's what this is for.

The Featured Artist Collective is how you say “yes, share it” — and how I say “thank you” properly.

— Freya x 💛

01

I lead with what you get.

Your bonuses and features come first. Permissions come after. This is a celebration, not a rights grab.

02

Your work helps the next woman.

Your Rooster painting helps the next woman believe she can try. Sharing it is a gift to the whole community.

03

No pressure, ever.

This is an open invitation, not a limited-time offer. Join when it feels right. Leave any time.

The tier system

The more you share, the more you unlock.

Each tier builds on the one before. Start wherever feels right.

Tier 1

Why this matters

You painted something beautiful. Sharing it might be the nudge another woman needs to pick up her brush.

You can always start small and do more later. No pressure, ever.

Why artists join

In their own words.

I just completed the neon garden course, and to say that I loved it is an understatement!! Simple and clear instructions, amazing brushes, vibrant color palette. It made the whole process a zen experience I enjoyed very much. I would definitely recommend this course!

Floral Garden — Gouache

I started experimenting with Freya's gouache brush set, and over time, it helped me shape my own style. These floral pieces were created entirely using gouache brushes. In a way, I first learned gouache digitally, and now I'm exploring it through traditional fine art as well.
