Happy Holidays!

Bright Ideas For The Holiday Season

FREE

December 2nd - January 2nd 2025


Inspired by the season's magic and my gratitude for this creative community a few years ago, I introduced Holiday Cheer. Little did I know the joy it would spark! Soon, the creative community was alive with beautiful handmade tags, exquisite gift wraps, and stunning embellishments—each a heartfelt expression of generosity and artistry. 

Watching it all unfold was pure magic. My heart overflowed as messages shared how Holiday Cheer had inspired artistic moments with children, grandchildren, family, and friends. It celebrated creativity and connection, spreading warmth and wonder during the holidays. 

Whether you've been here since the beginning or are just joining us now, Holiday Cheer is my way of saying thank you. Thank you for walking this creative journey with me, taking classes, collecting artwork, and being a cherished part of this community. Your support means the world, and I appreciate you more than words can express! 

love, Renée

About Me Renee Mueller

Thank you for choosing to take my class, I'm so thrilled and honored that you're here. I want to tell you a little about me. I hold a BFA from the University of Michigan where I studied Art History, Dance, and Choreography. I danced professionally and had the honor of teaching dance at the University of Michigan's Musical Theater and Theater Departments. Most of my life has been spent in the dance studio and the theater. Because of this, I have had the privilege to work with many talented dancers, costume designers, set designers, lighting designers, and musicians. One of the many things that I learned from this experience in the performing arts was to honor your ideas and devote yourself to a subject. Also, to share, support, and collaborate. Once I decided to "exit stage left", it was challenging to find another creative outlet. Like many of us, I loved to draw, paint and create as a child, but never really invested a tremendous amount of time in cultivating that practice. About 10 years ago I began drawing again and decided to commit to a daily practice. I was challenged and inspired!. So, I continue to practice, experiment with materials, and allow my ideas to guide me through the process. When creating art, I draw upon the many methods I learned as a dancer, choreographer, and teacher. Research, gathering inspiration, honoring my point of view, and sharing ideas. It is my hope that by sharing my creative practices, my process, techniques and what inspires me, you will find something that works for you.
