“Beauty happens whenever your soul truth is expressed.”
—Aviva Gold
Intuition Painting® is not about technique or making something beautiful. It's about bypassing the inner critic, following your instincts, and discovering what wants to emerge when you stop trying to control the outcome. I had been painting for years as a hobby — always playing it safe, always small, always controlled. I was looking for a way to break free. I found it. No experience necessary. Just a willingness to show up and let go.
What is Intuition Painting?
Intuition Painting® is a journey into your inner world. A guided creative process that uses spontaneous painting, meditation, and inner reflection to help you access what's already living inside you — your instincts, your emotions, your unlived stories.
You won't be taught technique or told what to paint. Instead you'll be guided to listen inward, follow what feels alive, and let the canvas become a mirror for your inner world. Through a six-phase process weaving together meditation with spontaneous painting, you'll move beyond what your thinking mind wants to control and into something much.
What shows up on the canvas often has very little to do with art and everything to do with you. People leave with unexpected clarity, a sense of release, and sometimes something that feels quietly like transformation.
It's not something I can fully explain. It's something you have to experience.
What to Expect
In a typical two-day Intuition Painting® workshop we'll move through the full six-phase process together in a supported, judgement-free space. Each day weaves together guided meditations and spontaneous painting — building on the previous session so that each layer of your canvas reveals something new.
In person workshops are held at The Be Sanctuary in Columbus, Ohio and occasionally other locations. All supplies are provided — just bring yourself.
Virtual workshops are also available, allowing you to experience the full process from your own creative space at home.

Intuition Painting® is for you if:
You're ready to reconnect with the creativity that is already yours.
You're going through a transition and looking for a way to help process it.
You feel stuck — creatively, emotionally, or both — and want to break free.
You want to deepen your relationship with yourself.
You're an artist looking to move beyond technique and find more freedom.
You're curious about what might emerge if you just let go.
Or maybe you simply can't explain why, but something about this is calling to you.
That last one is reason enough. Trust it.
