Are you still feeling disconnected and unfulfilled? ...Even though there are countless self-help books, podcasts, and wellness apps at our fingertips?
If you’re like me, a creative soul who's been searching for deeper meaning, the mainstream “quick fixes” just weren’t enough.
...I've experienced traumas and set-backs
...I've tried a million and one solutions to try to "fix" myself.
...I've lost myself while serving others and following other people's rules
...and I needed to re-discover who I am while feeling lost and wondering how to reconnect with myself.
What if I tell you the I discovered a fresh approach that blends creativity, self-discovery, and personal empowerment in a way that goes beyond just “thinking” or “talking” through our struggles?
Painting...
Painting has a unique power. When we pick up a paintbrush or start creating, we’re not just using our minds — we’re connecting with our hearts and souls. We're tapping into something deeper, something that can’t be accessed through logic alone.
That’s why I collaborated with Whitney Freya and created the Artisan of Your Life courses. It’s not just about painting; it's about painting your story — about releasing old patterns, rediscovering your passions, and creating the life you truly desire.

Welcome from Lori and Whitney
A Little More of Lori's Story
My name is Lori Poff Kellogg and I am a recent graduate of Whitney Freya's Certified Creatively Fit Coaching program.
I am now an intuitive and prophetic artist...but I wasn't always...
For most of my life, I didn’t feel like the artisan of my own life. I was always someone’s something…someone’s daughter, wife, mother, employee, congregant, follower. Various traumas and obstacles made me feel broken, small, and silent.
And at the same time, creativity has been my sanctuary, my solace, but I never did anything with it. I did not pursue art school or to improve my skills in any way. I just enjoyed art making and writing as I had extra time…which was pretty seldom with raising 3 kids and working as a special education teacher turned social worker.
Until the Covid-19 lockdown.
At that time I was working as a manager of a shelter for families experiencing homelessness. In a job that was already stressful, the tension and worry I felt became debilitating.
I needed to find a container to put my anxiety into that was outside of my body, or it was going to make me physically ill!
In fact, it already was!
Amidst the chaos of a worldwide pandemic, my sketchpad became a haven for my imagination. I turned my jumbled emotions into color. I used my art to express all the feelings I could not say in words. I felt like I was teaching myself a whole new language!
But I felt alone. I needed a guide.
That is why I enrolled in Whitney Freya's Certified Creatively Fit Coaching program! I was hoping to learn to become a better painter, to create online courses and find like-minded community...but I didn't expect my life was going to change!
For me, painting became a threshold. The canvas, an invitation. It is a place of self-discovery, of reflection, and of challenge. When I allow it, the canvas reveals to me what I most need to see in myself. As I have found joy and liberation in the process of art-making, I have experienced a profound transformation. And now I feel called to share it as authentically as I can.
Which is why when Whitney Freya offered me this opportunity to collaborate with her on a special edition of her Rise Above Course, I leaped at the chance!
Now, I get to tell everyone how I applied the prompts Whitney presents in her course to my life.
Which I present in my course...
This isn't just a course, It's a painting JOURNEY.
No Painting Experience Required...
...just an open mind & heART.
This is not your typical “how-to-paint” course, this is about remembering how to live your
LIFE as ART.

Lessons Include...
Design Principle: Contrast
Aspect of You: Playfulness
Probably one of the most frequent comments in this arena of personal development and spirituality is, “I want to know my purpose.”
The answer to that question is simpler than you think. JOY is the vibration that is intended to signal to you that you are following the golden thread, leading you into your most purposeful life. How cool is that?!
Design Principle: Balance
Aspect of You: Wholeness
The true BALANCE is about light and dark, night and day, warm and cold…. As you reclaim your SELF you are called to reclaim ALL of you, ALL of your story, your life experiences, your “successes” and your “failures.”
It is about embracing the WHOLENESS of this life in this painting session’s experience.
Creating Abundance
Painting as Meditation
ABUNDANCE, truly the greatest, most sublime version, can ONLY come from within. And when you begin to source that (I am seeing tapping a reservoir like a wellspring) this energy of abundance from within, and share it in your simple presence, attracting whatever forms of abundance you desire becomes more and more like a magnet just doing its thing!

And 8 lessons created by Lori Poff Kellogg
Lessons Include:
Redeem the Dream
For too long, others had the authority to determine how my life would be because I gave it to them. But along the way, I stopped being myself.
I needed to begin understanding that my ideas have worth, power, and wisdom. I actually have good intentions and a loving heart, and that I am worthy of my dreams
Standing in Your Power
When we work through our resistance and overcome fear, when we bring what we want into more focus and push through the limiting beliefs, what we gain is vision and clarity.
This is the place we are called to live our life from…not fear, not limiting beliefs, not narrow expectations. But from a place of trust, a place of power, and hope, and love.
Creating Out of Love,
Not Fear
I notice when I create out of fear, I make what I think I should, what I think others will like, what I think might sell, etc. When I create out of love, I create what makes me happy. I can listen to my intuition and follow its lead, And the difference is pretty amazing
Example Curriculum
FAQ's
Q: When does this course start and finish?
A: It is a completely self-paced online course. YOU decide when you start and when you finish. You decide how quickly or slowly you go through the material. Stop. Start. Replay. Delay. Restart. It's all up to YOU.
Q: How long do I have access to this course?
A: How does lifetime access sound? After you are enrolled, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any device you own.
Q: What supplies do I need?
A: In the lesson there is a detailed list in the membership area once you are registered. To get started here are the basics:
For your CANVAS: We are painting BIG! Why? Painting bigger is easier. Most beginning painters think that painting smaller is easier...it is the opposite.
In this course, we are painting TWO paintings...one with Whitney and one with Lori. For Whitney's canvas, use as large of a canvas as you are comfortable with. Whitney is using a 36" x 48" canvas. For Lori's canvas, she is using a recycled THRIFT store canvas. (She explains how to prepare a thrift store canvas in the supplies lesson)
For Paint: We use acrylic paint. There are no colors you HAVE TO have, but red, blue, yellow, white, black, and magenta are the basics. We also love turquoise, purple and pink...but its all up to your preferences.
Brushes: Various sizes but make sure to include one BIG brush (could be an old house painting brush).
Other needed supplies: water, rags, palette (we love old recycled food containers).
Optional: Acrylic paint pens (Posca is the brand Lori uses) but markers will work just as well...as will a small paint brush with paint. Any other materials that you'd like to play with...grab those, too!
Q: I can't find the location. Where is this all happening?
A: Everything is online so you can paint from the comfort of your own home, studio...or patio. We've even had participants paint while traveling!
Q: Do I need to be present with the class is released?
A: All videos are pre-recorded. Everything is self-paced so you have access to each lesson after it is released.
However, we are having a LAUNCH PARTY on August 11, 2024 at 7:00pm EDT that you might want to be available for! On that night, we will be doing Lesson 1 of Artisan of Your Life LIVE on Zoom together! I'd love to have as many people as possible that day, but it is not a requirement.
Q: What if I have questions or get stuck? Is there a way to communicate with Lori directly?
A: Each lesson will have a comment section. This is where you can show your painting progress, share your experiences and reflections, ask questions, and receive feedback. Lori will receive a notification every time there is a comment and she WILL reply.
Q: Will there be any live Zoom meetings or calls?
A. Lori hosts a free, virtual open studio on the 11th day of every month. Whitney also hosts open studios periodically. If you are on Lori's and/or Whitney's email list(s), you will receive an invitation and a Zoom link in your email. Whitney and Lori are also available for private coaching through our courses for anyone interested in pursuing this. If you would like further information on this, contact Lori at the email below.
Q: Still have questions that I haven't answered?
A. Contact Lori at [email protected]
