A creative journey to self-liberation.
Does this sound like you...
You’ve spent your whole life being the “good girl.” The one who says yes, makes others comfortable, and does everything "just right." You deeply want to be seen as a good human. However, you have started to notice that this doesn't come without a price. There is a deep, sacred part of you that longs to be free—to create without self-judgment, to make a mess, to express yourself in ways that feel wild and true.
This 4-week virtual (over zoom) course is your invitation to step into that freedom. Through gentle, therapeutic art-making, self-reflection, and a nurturing community, we’ll unlearn the conditioning that has kept you small and reconnect (or connect with for the first time) with the creative, expressive, and powerful woman inside you.
No art experience is needed—this is about the process, not the product. We use art as the modality -- but you don't have to be, aspire, or identify with being an artist. Although you may by the end. Therapeutic arts has a way of bringing up hidden gems deep within us. My life, and my work is a reflection of that truth. Take a chance on yourself, and join me.

Weekly Explorations:
Who is Good Girls Make Bad Art for?
This course is for all self-identified women who feel like they have to do things perfectly in order to show up at all.
-
The one who’s always played it safe—afraid to try something new unless she knows she’ll be good at it.
-
The overthinker, the self-doubter, the people-pleaser—who wants to create but gets stuck worrying about what others will think.
-
The woman who once loved art, writing, or creativity but lost touch with it because life got busy, self-doubt crept in, or she was told it wasn’t “productive” enough.
-
The one who’s ready to break free from the “good girl” rules—to take up space, make a mess, and create just for the joy of it.
-
This is for you if you’re craving a judgment-free space to explore, express, and reconnect with your creative self—without pressure, without perfectionism, and without apology.
No art experience needed. Just a willingness to show up, play, and let yourself be seen.
Supplies for "Good Girls Make Bad Art"
(No fancy materials required—just a willingness to play!)
This workshop is all about freedom, expression, and creativity without perfectionism, so your supplies don’t need to be expensive or professional. Also, if you identify as a writer and would like to use writing as the modality -- BEAUTIFUL feel free to do so!
Basic Supplies (Recommended for Every Week)
✅ A Journal or Sketchbook – For writing reflections and experimenting with ideas.
✅ A Variety of Mark-Making Tools – Pens, colored pencils, crayons, markers etc.
✅ Collage Materials – Old magazines, newspapers, scraps of fabric, or printed images to tear and glue.
✅ Glue Stick or Mod Podge – For collage and mixed media play.
✅ Scissors – For cutting paper, fabric, or images.
✅ Paper for creating on! Suggestion: 8.5 x 11in paper (standard paper size)
No Need to Overthink It!
Use what you already have, or grab supplies that spark excitement. This isn’t about having the "right" tools—it’s about using what feels good and inspires play.
If you’re unsure, start with just paper, paint, and something to write with. That’s all you need to begin! 💛
Meet your instructor: Stephanie Chinn
Stephanie Chinn is the Indigo, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon best- selling author and illustrator of her debut book Here Sister, Let Me Help You Up: Messages of Sisterhood, Self-Care, and Body Love. She is a speaker, artist, and therapeutic arts practitioner whose work is centered around reminding women of their inherent worth in a world that often attempts to diminish it.
Stephanie is on a mission to create safe and healing spaces, for women, through the practice of art-making and will be guiding every live call.
"I have lived with the good girl narrative for my entire life. It has made me feel like I have to make sure the world know I am a good person, which in theory — feels harmless, but it made me shrink myself significantly more than I would have ever thought. It ramped up my perfectionism, anxiety and silenced the part of myself that just longed to explore this big beautiful life of mine. One thing I have learned through guiding women through this work the past 5 years, is so many of us hold ourselves back because we believe we have to be perfect to show up, to try. This has been built into us as young girls, and unraveling this will liberate you in ways you cannot yet see." - Stephanie

Workshop feedback:
"Stephanie is so absolutely magical, creative, and a joy to be guided by in any and all workshops!"
— Diana G
Workshop feedback:
"My experience with the workshop was so magical and healing. Having no previous art experience, I was quite nervous about being able to create, but Stephanie's prompts to make it about play and not about creating a finished piece really gave me the permission I needed to explore."
— Amanda N
