You May Have Seen Me On
I created Magic Makers as a nurturing, creative safe space for artists who are coming home to themselves.
It is an invitation for artists and creatives at any level (from beginner to burned-out) who want to lose themselves through making art as a way to reclaim peace, find wholeness, and heal their childlike creativity.
We use working with the magical pigments of soft pastel as the vehicle to express yourself and the beauty of the natural world around you.
There are SO many benefits to exploring this tactile medium: Indulge in a sensory experience, get back into your body while you’re holding the pigments & feeling the textures, move through your emotions, silence the spin of your mind long enough to hear your true voice. Art, creativity, expression…it’s home.

What is Magic Makers?
Magic Makers is a monthly membership experience that will provide you with ongoing art teaching, coaching, accountability, inspiration, and support on your artistic and creative journey. It is also a kind, and welcoming, community of creatives, just like you, who are ready to cheer you on and support you.
If you’ve been thinking about seeing what’s next for you as an artist or creative, the Magic Makers Membership is for you. The life of a creative is often lonely and isolating. Art communities can wind up feeling competitive, critical, and tense. I set out to solve these problems. I get it and your fellow Magic Makers also get it.
Each month is themed with different aspects of soft pastel painting to help you grow deeper in your artistry. There are live workshops, paint-along sessions, tutorials, sessions with special guests, and even a book club!
Plus, you get access to my monthly Magic Makers Journal, a digital lifestyle magazine filled with more learning, seasonal content, beauty, and inspiration.
Members also receive VIP access to special events, workshops, and discounts on all of my products.
Oh, and it’s SO MUCH FUN!
I’d love for you to join!

What makes this painting membership different?
Magic Makers is not like any other art membership, group, or patreon.
Taking care of yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally is paramount to thriving inside your creative practice and living a life of wonder and magic.
For many, being an artist has come with trauma. Perhaps you’ve been told you’re not good enough. Maybe you’ve been shunned by “professionals” or hurt by an art teacher or your friends and family don’t take what you do seriously. Or perhaps, the biggest voice undermining your confidence is your own! Walking an artistic path takes a great amount of courage. It is vulnerable and fraught with blockers that can keep you stuck.
I want you to experience a life of creative freedom in all facets!
It is a fact that we become the people we spend the most time with. Surrounding yourself with positive, encouraging people who “get it” will help you not only grow but thrive. I believe you have the power to make magic that ONLY YOU CAN and the world needs your voice.
In the Magic Makers Membership, you receive BOTH the art instruction to get the results for materializing your feelings onto the paper AND an emphasis on your creative well-being. If you’re not enjoying it, then what’s the point? I am here to support your painting journey and your artist’s heart.
If you’ve been putting yourself off, ignoring the creative promptings whispering to you, or tamping down your true desire… your time is now.

What's it like inside Magic Makers?
- Live Teaching
I will be LIVE with you multiple times per month. The first call of the month is a workshop call where we will deep dive into a particular subject matter or topic of soft pastel painting. The live format is raw, real, and vulnerable. Nothing is held back in teaching or sharing. If you can’t make it live, all calls are recorded and posted for you to watch at your own pace.
- Mentoring & Support
At the end of each month, we have a Mentoring Call. This is your opportunity for live coaching, Q&As, and painting reviews. You can always expect a light-hearted, playful spirit on these calls. This is a nurturing, safe place for you to get the support you need.
- Paint Together Hours
Think of the monthly Paint Together Hour as a standing “creative spa” appointment! It will make you feel just as good! This is a chance to paint in the energy of the group or simply sit back, relax, and watch. I always pop on my favorite painting playlist and paint with my camera on for you to watch the piece unfold.
- Tutorials
Throughout the month, I release two recorded painting tutorials. Be a fly on the wall in my studio as I paint for you and take you along for the process.
- Exclusive Facebook Group
So much of the magic lies in the community! Share your wins, struggles, ask for help, feel less alone. The Facebook community is filled with kindred spirits ready to meet you and welcome you!
- Monthly Magazine
The “Magic Makers Journal” is an exclusive members-only digital lifestyle magazine that features articles on an array of topics from mindset to painting tips, recipes, favorite product recommendations, and much more. It’s designed to inspire and uplift you!
- Curiosity Sessions
Each month I invite a special guest, some of the top names in their fields, to share their passion and artistry! These sessions are a chance to hear from another creative soul and learn something fun! Creativity and beauty is abundant- when we tap into our creativity it expands to other areas of our lives! It is the poetry of living. Past sessions have included bookbinding, flower arranging, wax sealing, and creating tablescapes.
- Book Club
We always have an inspiring book we are reading as a group! Each week, I go live on Facebook to discuss. Some of our past books have included, The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and The Creative Act by Rick Rubin. (All past lives are saved for you to go back and watch.)
- VIP Events & Discounts
Magic Makers receive VIP treatment for all live workshops, courses, and products! Throughout the year, I will host ticketed pop-up workshop events that are always included for members.

Pause for a moment.
And ask yourself, what is settling for the status quo really costing you?
Perhaps you’re experiencing daily life as a “groundhog” day that your nervous system just doesn’t want you to let go of… even though you desperately want the creative life you deserve.
You’re thinking to yourself, “this is just how it is.”
- Maybe you’ve already spent time and money in search of the creative joy you’re looking for, but it still eludes you…
- You’ve poured countless hours and hundreds or even thousands of dollars into art courses and patreons, but still aren’t where you want to be.
- You’ve watched just about every video on YouTube you can get your hands on and while you may have learned good technique, there is still something missing, something much deeper than perfecting your next stroke.
- Your bookshelf is filled with art and self-help books, but you lack the motivation to put them into practice on your own.
- You know you want more, but continue to let the voices in your head, from friends and family, or even past art teachers to keep you locked away from expressing your artist’s heart.
- You've been working so hard, grinding and hustling to make things happen, yet it doesn’t seem like enough. It’s only leaving you burnt out and empty.
I don’t want you to continue to miss out on the magic and flow that comes from living a truly lit-up and creative life!
The fact that you’re reading this right now means you’re ready for so much more! More freedom, more ease, more peace, more abundance, more joy… more FUN!
You could:
- Keep repeating the same patterns of negative self-talk and belief.
- Join yet another art course and learn more techniques, thinking it will finally make you “good enough,” but do nothing to actually fill and heal your creative heart.
- Continue searching the corners of the internet for more free lessons, videos, and tutorials only to come right back to the place you are now.
- Go at your creative journey alone and blocked.
OR you could join our community of peaceful, joyful, and supportive creatives who do art differently, experience flow, and create beauty from their true authentic selves.

Is Magic Makers right for me?
Magic Makers is for ANY creative looking for peace, joy, happiness, color, and creative fulfillment in your life. While the workshops and tutorials focus on the medium of soft pastel, many of the principles, theories, and philosophies can be applied to many forms of visual art.
If you’re an artist or creative sick of going at your art journey alone, if you’re ready to accelerate your learning, if you’re interested in expanding to your full, creative potential…and letting it feel good, the Magic Makers Membership is for you.
Bottom Line
You’re not ready. You’re overly ready.
You’re overly ready to create in flow, heal your creative heart, learn a new means of self-expression, put more beauty into the world, and unlock your potential.

Who leads the Magic Makers Membership?
The Membership is taught and coached by Valerie McKeehan, renowned artist, teacher, and host of The Peaceful Creative podcast.
In 2012 she founded the global brand, Lily & Val.
Throughout her art career, she worked commercially with clients like Starbucks, Anthropologie, TLC, Brit+Co, and The Food Network, and published a best-selling book with Workman Publishing about hand-lettering.
After the change that 2020 and two little ones created in her world, Valerie began making art for art’s sake again, exploring painting and pastels that led to commissioning her original art pieces and opening up her passion project: education for artists to unlock their creativity and heal their creative hearts.
She now offers 1:1 coaching and an artist membership to her community while she continues to create artwork that moves her soul.

“Valerie is as much life to the soul as honey is healing to the body, she’s raw and sweet, vulnerable and kind, and she creates a space to make all kinds of masterpieces and mistakes alike. Always chasing joy, beauty and creativity, she handles technique incredibly well for the advanced, and simplifies it perfectly for the beginner. There’s nothing that’s off the table when Valerie is teaching, which is truly a rare gem of a gift among the arts community.”
– Sophia
“I can not begin to say enough about how Valerie has helped me in my soft pastel journey! From understanding the basics to even now as I dig even deeper into them, she has been a huge help and wonderful teacher.
I started out knowing little to almost nothing about this medium. Thanks to her tips and suggestions, I’m beginning to feel more confident with my pastels. I’m better understanding how to take a one dimension painting and turn it into something with depth and value – and this is SO exciting to me. My goal has been to create the nostalgic landscapes from my childhood, and now with Valerie’s help, I feel like I can finally achieve that!”

Have questions?
That’s A-OKAY! All of the LIVE content is recorded and posted in your portal to watch any time you’d like.
Membership is only $89/month. Which is significantly less than: Orange Theory, Pure Barre, a monthly massage, and even a Tall Latte from Starbucks every day! AND – this makes you feel just as good (if not better), we promise!
Nope! You get full access for as long as you decide. You can cancel anytime.
If you choose to purchase a full year, there are no refunds, but do you do get 12 months in the membership for the price of 10 (which is an instant $178 savings!).
Magic Makers works like a gym membership: as long as you’re a member, you get access to everything. Once you cancel, however, you lose access to everything.
How much time you invest is completely up to you! Because all of the content is available to you on-demand (after the live calls), you can really consume it at your own pace. Many members enjoy participating live, and several others just go at their own pace.
It really has been designed to fit your schedule and take as much or as little time as you choose works for you.
Engaging in the community aspects of the Membership is completely up to you too.
We have members at all levels of skill! Whether you’re a seasoned artist, or just dipping your toe in the water, the Membership will work well for you!
We do suggest exploring Valerie’s 2-hour mini-course: Discovering Soft Pastel for Beginners! (And, it comes with 1-month free in the membership so you may want to start there) 🙂
Yes! A lot of Valerie’s teaching revolves around art principals that would translate to other mediums. That being said, she does still teach soft-pastel.
However, Magic Makers is so much more than medium-based art lessons and workshops. We focus on artist-mindset, mindfulness, creative practices, and living the full peaceful life of an artist which is super helpful to any creative person.
Your membership renews on the same date every month. You will have full access as long as you have an active account! If you decide to cancel, you will continue to have access until your next renewal date at which point you will lose access.
Due to the nature of a digital membership, once you’ve seen the videos, you cannot un-see them! For that reason, we do not offer refunds or prorates.
Cancelling is quick and easy should you choose to do so.
Super easy! We welcome any and all questions by emailing: [email protected]

If YouTube Tutorials, Patreons, Books, and courses were enough...
You would already have the RESULTS you’ve been looking for by now.
You do not need another course to sit on your desktop collecting digital dust.
In order to make real progress in both art and mindset, it’s about connection. Live, real, intimate, vulnerable connection. You don’t have to do it alone and that will make all the difference.
I love surrounding myself with like-minded artists who, like you, have been searching for a place to feel supported and seen. That is what we are all about.
And if you’ve read this far, it’s pretty obvious we’re your people. I believe in you and I am rooting for you – for the beauty you are meant to bring to this world, but especially for your artist’s heart and living the most lit-up, authentic version of you!
The world is ready and needs your unique, one-of-a-kind creativity. Please share it.
