Hi, I'm Debasree...

… your guide on this mixed-media art journal journey

After a decade in the IT corporate world, I returned to art and found healing in collage — the quiet joy of bringing fragments together to create something whole. It became a way to slow down, listen inward, and express without needing words.

Since 2016, I’ve had the privilege of teaching nearly 30,000 students worldwide, encouraging artists to trust their intuition and create fearlessly. 

My classes are gentle, tactile, and rooted in the belief that creativity should feel calming, soulful, and deeply personal.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or simply looking to reconnect with your creativity, I’m here to guide you through an experience that nourishes both your hands and your heart.

Over 30,000 students have joined my classes. Here's what a few have said:

 

The textures, the layers, the fabric… this class feels like building something alive. My art journal now has so much depth and character.”

 

 

“The mastersheets process alone is worth it. I used to feel stuck working inside sketchbooks, but creating on loose papers first completely changed my flow. My mixed media art journal feels so much more expressive now.”

 

 

I never imagined a simple paper bag could turn into such a beautiful art journal. It completely changed how I look at everyday materials.”

The inspiration behind this class

This class began with a very simple idea — I had a growing collection of painted mastersheets on loose papers that I love creating. Instead of letting them sit stacked away, I wanted to bring them together into something meaningful.

Why Paper Bags? The idea of having that built-in handle in an art book felt exciting and different. 

In Gathered Art Journal class, we worked with discarded boxes, but this time, using paper bags allowed me to keep those beautiful, ready-made handles as part of the book itself.

At its core, this class is about creating and working in your own handmade art books. Instead of relying on store-bought sketchbooks—building something from scratch and then making art within it.

😮 Why Paper Bags? (Yes, Really.)

Because the best art supplies are the ones you’d never expect.

Paper bags come with something no sketchbook ever will — a built-in handle. That alone makes your finished book one-of-a-kind.

But more than that, this class is about a mindset shift:

  • Stop waiting for the “perfect” supplies
  • Stop letting your painted papers sit in a pile
  • Start building something beautiful from what you already have

🧠 Why This Works So Well

Because it removes the 3 biggest creative blocks:

❌ Blank page pressure
❌ Not knowing what to do with supplies
❌ Fear of “messing up”

✔️ Replaces them with:

  • Texture
  • Structure
  • Freedom

🎁 🌿 The Outcome

By the end, you won’t just have “learned something”…

You’ll have:

  • Multiple handmade art journal books
  • A system to create more anytime
  • Confidence in how to make an art journal
  • A natural flow with intuitive art journaling
