Have we met? Hi, I’m Josie!

I’m a lifelong full time artist who loves color, process and fun! I’ve also written a book on color mixing, had my line of art materials on sale at Michaels across the USA and Canada, been a college art professor, had my art collected around the world, and my art process videos have had more than 1 billion views. (Dude. What???) You can find me everywhere as @josielewisart and I hope you say hi!

I’ve also taught thousands of art-curious creatives in workshops and online courses, and I love inspiring people to take bold moves for their art passions!
