Meet Stella
I believe that everyone deserves space
to connect with the person they are becoming.
Beyond the Role of Motherhood
All I ever wanted in life was a family and to be a mum, and I am beyond grateful to have both. But like many mums, I had no idea what the reality of motherhood would actually look like.
I did not know about “matrescence”, the profound transition of becoming a mother. It is not that I lost who I was before. Rather, motherhood added new layers to my identity, and I had to learn how to navigate this new version of myself. During this time of change, outside opinions and unasked advice confused me and disconnected me from my own intuition.
Art has always been part of my life, but my daughter helped me find a different way. Watching how freely she painted, without caring about rules or the outcome, inspired me to do the same. This became my personal ritual. It was a powerful way to reconnect with myself. I could hear and feel my intuition again. It helped me trust myself, allowing others to have their opinions without them changing my behaviour.
The Workshops
That experience led me to create intuitive painting workshops. From the very beginning, they were designed as a complete practice. Every session consciously blends meditation, visualization, intuitive painting, and journaling to help you reconnect with yourself.

While these spaces originally began as a sanctuary for mums navigating the shift into motherhood, life brings periods of change for everyone. Because everyone needs a place to pause and recenter, these workshops naturally grew into a welcoming space for all. It is a journey of waking up the parts of you that have been waiting to shine through.
What started as a shared routine among friends and later expanded to the public has evolved over the years. Following a year of online-only gatherings, the focus has shifted to the energy of in-person connection.
We meet regularly in person in Vinohrady, Prague. However, if you prefer an online session—whether 1-on-1 or as a group—please do not hesitate to reach out. Everything can be tailored to fit your needs.
Guided by Heart and Experience
A professional journey starting over twenty years ago—including training as a Design Assistant, a year at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, and a Master’s Degree in Art Education—provided a strong foundation. However, the true shape of these workshops was born from real life, the journey of motherhood, and the powerful realization of what it takes to find oneself again.
What makes this practice special isn’t just the painting; it is the complete ritual. You are invited into a safe, welcoming space to catch your breath, listen to your inner voice, and reconnect with yourself.
As an artist and educator, the aim is to create a cozy, easygoing atmosphere where you can leave the daily rush behind, unwind, and simply enjoy the playful process of self-expression in the present moment.
