"What a generous gesture and a great value! This class can take anyone from a novice to an expert when it comes to altering an old book and creating your own personalized Urban Journal. Roben-Marie's presentation style is enthusiastic, clear, detailed and creative! She offers great alternatives for supplies as well as incorporating your own art style to fit the project and make it your very own!" ~Susan Gallitto



"Your explanations on all parts of making this book have been wonderful. Sewing in signatures is easy doing it this way with a template. I love this remix of the Urban Journal. I can think of so many ways to use this book."
~Diane Kirtley

Meet Your Instructor...

Hey!  I’m Roben-Marie and I provide ideas, inspiration and quality instruction for hobbyists and art entrepreneurs. I teach artists from beginners to those making a living from their art through my blog and my popular online workshops.  Both in and out of the studio, my passion is helping my fellow creatives step into their full potential by creating confident and expressive art.

As a woman of faith I believe that I’m called to serve and support others, so I strive to be accessible to artists who need my help. Seeing other creators embrace their unique voices, build their online art dreams and gain confidence in their new skills brings me great joy.

I’ve been a working artist since 2004, am self-taught and believe that anyone can cultivate their creative spark. I’ve taught mixed media art workshops and retreats across the U.S. and my work has been featured in countless books and industry magazine.

In my spare time I love to read, bake and travel.  I live in Florida with my husband of 34 years and together we work with the youth in our church. I also have a heart for mission work, having served in Panama, El Salvador, Romania and Honduras.
