Kara - Personal Portraits Student said:
this has been a wonderful, joyful experience!
"My personal portrait is layered with prayers, family heirlooms, keepsakes and dreams. Choosing a direction, I found my way to the Patron Saint of Bees and Beekeepers. Leading me to incorporate my Italian heritage with my great grandmother’s, circa 1913, hand embroidery and items of my grandmother’s. Then, honoring my Irish heritage… “If we venture to the lush green landscape of Ireland, you will hear wonderous stories about St. Gognait, the patron saint of bees and beekeeping.… she was actually a beekeeper in her time. “Celtic lore believed the soul left the body as a bee or a butterfly thus bees were held in high esteem.”
Would you love to create artwork that feels deeply personal and true to you, but…
You want to try mixed media, but the materials feel confusing,
and you’re never quite sure what goes together or how to build layers that look intentional instead of accidental.
You long to make art that holds your story,
but you’re not sure what to include or how to translate your memories, keepsakes, and emotions into a meaningful piece.
You want gentle, step-by-step guidance
that helps you feel confident in the process so you can focus on what really matters: your story, your intuition, and your emotional connection to your art.

why i created this workshop

I'm Delight Rogers,I will be your guide on this special journey.
I'm Delight Rogers,I will be your guide on this special journey.
I’ve been in love with mixed media art from the moment I discovered it. I live in a small village in Northern Ontario, Canada, where the natural beauty around me fuels my soul and finds its way into everything I create. I show and sell my artwork in local galleries and teach workshops online, in person, and live on Zoom.
As both a certified teacher and a certified art therapy practitioner, my creative work is deeply rooted in the healing power of making art — and in sharing that healing with others.
I’m known for a unique, intuitive creative process that unfolds like a quiet journey of self-discovery, leading to artwork that holds depth, emotion, and gentle beauty.

so glad I took this amazing journey
"Every class was a learning experience for me to incorporate Delight's techniques into my own style of art. Her teaching style is so down to earth and easy to follow. I was amazed with the mixed media she uses, there are no limits to it. So glad I took this amazing journey!"
Dawn - Personal Portraits Student
my finished piece really captures my soul and i love it.
"I chose to sign-up for the personal portraits course as I wanted to learn Delight's wonderful collage techniques. What I actually got from the experience was so much more. Delight's teaching style is open and sharing her thought processes, not just the techniques, really does provide such a useful insight. I learned a new way to create life-like portraits and a way to blend different images together. My finished piece really captures my soul and I love it."
Lauriel - Personal Portraits Student
this is for anyone seeking to push themselves creatively
"I learned new mixed media techniques and portraiture. My goal was to learn how to incorporate portraiture in my work but I learned so much more! Delight is a very good teacher - she encourages play and creative experiments and gives excellent feedback. I enjoyed the weekly creative prompts and learning how to use new materials.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I’m a complete beginner. Will this be too advanced?
Not at all. This workshop was designed with beginners in mind. The pace is relaxed, and every step is clearly demonstrated. Even if you’ve never made a mixed media portrait before, you’ll find it approachable, forgiving, and most importantly joyful.
I can’t draw faces. Will I still be able to do this workshop?
Yes, absolutely. You don’t need to know how to draw at all. Inside the lessons, I show you two simple ways to transfer a photograph right onto your canvas — no sketching required. From there, you’ll be gently guided through painting and layering until your portrait starts to come alive. Most participants are surprised by how natural it feels once they begin.
When can I start, and how long will I have access?
You can start the moment you register. Every lesson is ready and waiting inside your course hub, so there’s no need to wait for scheduled classes. And you’ll have ongoing access, meaning you can return to the materials as often as you wish, your creative journey can unfold on your own timeline.
What supplies do I need?
More than likely you already have what you need on hand and we encourage you to be innovative and use what you have. However, you can access the detailed supply list here.
