Lisette - Personal Portraits Student Said:
way more fun than only pre-recorded online lessons.
"I loved our live lessons and zoom meetings, for me the contact with Delight and the other participants was essential for the joy this class has been given me. Way more fun than only pre-recorded online lessons. It was very helpful to get direct answers to questions that pop up during the lessons. Sharing our progress and the struggles of the others was inspiring and educational. It is wonderful to see a comparable process resulting in totally different portraits. You learn many mixed media techniques and how to combine unexpected materials into a portrait. I highly recommend this class!

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.”

why i created this workshop
I created Personal Portraits to help you build a commitment to your creativity. I want you to disconnect from the chaos and reconnect with your true self.
what is a zoom workshop like?
If you've never tried a Zoom workshop before, you're in for a treat!
It’s just like attending an in-person workshop, but with the added comfort of being at home. You’ll get to paint alongside others, join in on discussions, share your work, receive detailed feedback, and even make new friends—all in real-time. And if you happen to be late or miss a session, don’t worry! We record all our Zoom sessions so you can rewatch them whenever you like, with lifetime access.
how it works:
When the course begins, you’ll have instant access to all the Mixed Media Art tutorials. Each week, we’ll add new demonstrations to the course hub, along with recordings of our open studio sessions and live Zoom classes.
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. The live zooms where the best because we got to ask questions and get answers quickly. We got to know our fellow students and shared our art and hearts with them. 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. A small group of wonderful people all bringing themselves and their experiences to the discussions and for this to be actual live meetups to discuss arty things with arty people was wonderful for me as I live quite remotely and find that other courses have a very large community so it is still hard to make connections. 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 learn 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. The structure of the class allows for different types of learning - in person teaching (zoom), watching or rewatching recorded content, and “meet ups” to work through and discuss your work and learn from feedback. It was so interesting to see how different all of our projects turned out

I'm Delight Rogers,I will be your guide on this special journey.
I’ve loved mixed media art since the moment I discovered it. I live in a small village in Northern Ontario, Canada, where the natural beauty fuels my soul. I show and sell my art in local galleries and offer art workshops, online, in person, and live on zoom.
With certifications in colour therapy and therapeutic art-making, my creative journey revolves around healing through making art and sharing what I do and know with others.
I am known for my unique creative process, guided by intuition, that unfolds like a journey of self-discovery, resulting in works that resonate with both depth and beauty.
