  • Jumpstart Your Creativity: The 1514 Experiment Challenge

  • YouTube Art Tutorials that Address Your Internal + External Process

    Watching other artists work is always inspiring. My videos focus on techniques, tools and materials, but also the internal thoughts and mindsets that shape our vision, support our risk-taking, and give us space to grow.

Hello Artist! I’m Marabeth Quin

Smiling woman in a green top and mustard apron leaning forward, with paintings in the background.

I'm a self-taught artist, which means I've likely taken the long way on many things. However, my journey has been shaped by two key approaches that have greatly benefited my work: learning through experimentation and observing other artists. I believe artists are among the most generous and open people on the planet, and when we share our knowledge, we all grow together.

I love teaching and sharing what I’ve learned, and every time I do, I gain new insights from the artists I engage with—it’s truly a win-win!

Whether you're just starting out or have been creating for a while and want to deepen your connection with your work, you're in the right place. I spend most of my time exploring art practice, process, and what it truly means to be an artist.

I hope you enjoy these free resources. I'm glad you're here and we are connected!
