Join our relaxed, come-as-you-are open studio space!
Connect with like-minded creative others in our virtual studio space, where you can share inspired visual expressions, ask questions, or simply witness others creating.
No sales pitches, no slides, and no specific “to do’s” other than whatever feels right to you in the creative moment.
The idea is to:
- encourage open dialog,
- share our art or writing projects;
- exude our visually expressive energy
- build creative connection and community
This is a safe, INCLUSIVE space for collective presence and creative connection.
Creatives from all walks of life, interests, and genres are welcome, including:
- Visual writers, diarists, memoirists, poets, and other scribes
- Illustrators and designers
- Mixed media and paper artists
- Analog creatives of all types
- Junk journalers
- Mindfulness spirits seeking nourishment and inspiration
and more!
These OPEN STUDIO SPACE HANGOUTS are LIMITED to 10 people per session.
This helps keep our studio time manageable, cozy, and personalized.
Tickets go fast so if you miss this go ’round, check back soon because these hangouts will be a regular staple throughout 2026.
I, Mayra Yadir, will be your host 🙏🏽
I am the author-artist behind EXUDE, a collection of visual poetry, illustrated introspections, and mixed media memoir. In addition to my publishing endeavors, I’m also a trained media psychologist, visuality strategist, mixed media artist, and communications professor.
I use my combined expertise to help Creatives:
- reconnect with their innate, creative and communicative selves
- rediscover or further explore their creative passions or artistic callings
- learn, and leverage, the art of visual expression to catapult ideas & aspirations
- breathe new, creative life across personal and professional projects
My LIVE EXUDING / OPEN STUDIO sessions are guided by my experience in nurturing creative communities where Creatives are invited to share in-progress (art or written) work, discuss ideas, ask questions, and enjoy camaraderie and artistic kinship.
