making art + inviting you to, too

Become a member of our Patreon page to get regular updates on our art making process, finished art. Plus questions to instigate deep thinking and suggestions for techniques such as journaling (drawing, writing, scribbling in your journal). We love our patrons!

Our online gallery openings open first to

Patreon patrons and then to the public, generally a week later. We have a gathering online opening, where you can peruse through the art via a link while asking questions or listening in to the conversation. Once the opening is over the link is available for perusing on your own time. Check out the link from our January 2021 opening. The 'i' (for information) has details like titles, pricing, sold, etc.) and is in the gallery for each image.

We'll design and facilitate the kind of engaging workshop experience your participants crave.

Goodmorning!

I'm Amanda Lyons - artist, graphic facilitator, and experiential educator with a background in organization development working at the intersections of courage, creativity and productivity in traditional and non traditional work places. VISUALS for CHANGE was born in an intention to do small things differently and make big impacts - to draw while we communicate, to add movement to meetings, to create collaborations where teams further their mission, ultimately using art to create interactions that matter!
