Why We Do What We Do

Katie Goodling smiling while working on galaxy-themed art – playful, expressive art for relaxation and self-expression.

Art that soothes, not stresses.

For anxious minds, tired bodies, spicy brains, and sensitive souls who want to feel safe making something real.

OUR VISION

To help 10,000 spicy, sensitive, spoonie, and anxious humans stop ghosting their creativity and finally claim daily art as a healing lifeline, not just a hobby, and definitely not a frivolous luxury.

OUR MISSION

We teach gentle yet fun, messy, and healing expressive art practices (with a little sass and humor) that work on bad days, sad days, foggy days, and flare days.

You don’t need to wait to feel “ready.”
You just need a softer way to begin.

Our Values

Process Over Perfection

We don’t care how it looks. We care how it feels. Creativity is a practice of presence, not performance.

Creativity Over Collapse

We refuse to build art practices that lead to burnout. Our way is sustainable, flexible, and co-regulating, because you matter more than momentum.

You Belong Here, Especially If You Don’t Feel Like You Do

Spicy, sensitive, spoonie, anxious overthinkers, you don’t have to “fix yourself” to be here. Come exactly as you are.

You Don’t Have to Be “On” to Make Art

Creativity lives in the in-between moments, grief, illness, overstimulation, and uncertainty. We make space for that.

Expression Is Medicine

Art is a tool for reconnection, identity repair, and emotional truth-telling. It’s not frivolous. It’s foundational.

We Respect the Ebb and Flow

Progress isn’t linear. We honor the loop, the ghosting, the restart. Every return is a creative win.

What this means for you:

You’re not too late. Not too inconsistent. Not too much.

At Inner Peace Art Studio, we help spicy, sensitive, scattered, and spoonie souls make art that heals, not stresses.

Find freedom with daily, imperfect art and become an Inner Peace Imperfectionist.
