Not Your Ordinary Class.


Not Your Ordinary Year.




Create a beautiful, artful guide for the months ahead by exploring where you are, where you want to be, what you desire, and how you can live the best version of yourself through a series of inner and creative processes.


When you combine Life through Creativity in your art journal, you have a precious resource you can refer to over and over to remind you where you are headed.


You deserve to create your best life. 

You deserve to live your best life. 






Explore Life and Art to Create your best year.


Immerse yourself in creativity as you are guided in creating a rich blueprint for growth and change, making your upcoming year one that fulfills your wishes. 


You will learn how to create soul based intentions and combine words and images to create positive, soul fulfilling change through poetry, inner work, journaling, art and symbols.


Combine life and art as you explore yourself and your materials in your art journal. 


The first class begins with a session that was recorded live to kick off your 7 day soul based explorations with a powerful way to create intentions. We build so much from there so you can have a happy, strong, fulfilling year ahead of you in a way you never knew.




Dream Big


You will be guided and supported through 7 days of self exploration as you learn how to create tools to be the best version of you and make your dreams come true, all through your creativity and artwork!

Go Within


Words become things.

Finding and living words from your soul brings a high vibration of energy and will attract more of what you desire.

Create Treasures



All the inner work you do is expressed and documented in a beautiful art journal you will make and keep as a guide through the year.



What Others Are Saying


"This class filled me with so much joy and inspiration, and it has carried with me throughout a very difficult time. I look at my art journal and it brings me a feeling of happiness and peace even when I'm struggling. Chris is an amazing teacher, she is kind, funny, and so talented. I am not an "artist," but her guidance made it easy for me to create beautiful pages that I love looking at. The lessons are unique and really got me thinking. I cannot wait to sign up for another class".

“Another outstanding offering from Chris Karpiak! Classes with Chris are thought-provoking and creatively rich, delivered in a warm, inviting and encouraging manner that makes you feel like you’re talking with a friend. ‘Create Your Best Year’ is no exception. Highly recommend.”

-Jan A.



"I enjoyed this short course so much! I quickly learned that I’m goal-orientated so setting intentions and dreaming doesn’t come easily for me. I felt some resistance at first but with Christine’s gentle (and personal) guidance, she helped me realize there is so much more to life. Art is art, but with intentions it’s so much more! I also really love the personal symbols I created to use in my future artwork. The lessons were definitely manageable even on a work day and I found time to complete them. I can’t wait to open up my hidden message one year from now!

It was more than just an art course, it touched my heart."

"I just want to say that I think this class is so incredibly special, awesome, wonderful and unique; I have never seen anything like it. If you presented it to Hay House publishing I bet they would love it! Then thousands of people would be blessed by it. I am very 🍀 lucky".
