METAMORPH
online art journaling workshop
Your creative practice offers a pathway to meaningful personal growth and artistic development.
Through art journaling, you'll discover not just new techniques, but new perspectives on your experiences and stories.
Every element you incorporate—paint, collage, mark-making—becomes a tool for self-expression and understanding. This isn't just about filling pages with color and texture—it's about documenting your journey through visual diaries, exploring your personal history, and intentionally shaping your creative voice.
Since its successful launch in 2016, Metamorph has helped hundreds of artists develop their unique visual language while deepening their connection to their personal narratives.
Now, by popular demand, I'm offering a streamlined experience, building on this proven approach while introducing fresh material, more accessible structure, and practical demonstrations that connect art-making with storytelling.
The next round of live sessions begins May 11, 2025.
Early bird price = $197 (until May 1).
Regular price = $297

I have had the pleasure of working with Erin Faith Allen in many of the roles she embodies; art coach, archival research expert, family history and war historian, publisher, writer, and of course in her main roles as a prolific mixed media artist and mixed media art educator.
I have taken workshops online and in person with Erin, and find her skills as a teacher translate fluidly and intuitively in both forms. I wholeheartedly can say that Erin has taught me more than I could ever express in this short review.
I approach my work with a similar perspective as Erin does: as a deep dive into my own creative expression and even further as a way to find and use my unique voice to communicate to the world. So when I am looking to move my soul and my expressive art work forward, I always look to Erin for her guidance and education.
As an expressive arts therapist, I also am very particular about the way that I am taught...I love comradery, group experiences, and technical learning of new skills, but most of all, I adore the freedom to express myself uniquely without intervention.
I find Erin's workshops a deep invitation...to growth, insight, depth, exploration, and creativity. I highly recommend Erin's ability to facilitate the kind of engagement necessary for real learning and to open doors to insightful soul connections to your Self, possibly your history, and the future you hope to create.

Erin's teaching is not for the faint of heart. She goes deep and excavates the roots of her students. She has this amazing ability to drop her students into the unconscious realms that make up 95% of us - that we are not aware of on the surface.
She has an insatiable fearless curiosity of what lies below the you that is YOU. She is a psychopomp of the soul that steers you across the dark oceans while tenderly encouraging you to bring your inner artifacts up to the surface and onto paper. Bit by bit she guides you to slowly re-assemble the bones to discover your deeper, soul-self through artistic expression.
Her art is not of this world, and it invites the viewer to spend time with the layers that lie within us all. It's personal and universal at the same time. Her art encompasses the expanse of space between the light and dark we each have inside. Her focus is on healing not only ourselves but our ancestors forward and back. If we take the time to explore our inner world we will change the trajectory and legacy of those we interact with. We become the ripple.
Erin is a powerhouse of creative potential. She lives and breathes art - it is who she is. Her art combined with her intellect and intuition along with her vast knowledge of history is like nothing I've experienced before.
Learning from her has been one of my life's biggest blessings. I've made some of my most favorite art pieces under her guidance. I highly recommend her courses to anyone who is ready to make art that transforms lives.

I used to hold the belief that calling myself an artist was a stretch until I had the opportunity to work alongside Erin - especially through her on-line art program which was a game changer!
From the very first class, it was clear that she was not just an all-knowing teacher imparting knowledge; she was a creative and transformational guide, walking beside me. She recognized the artist within me long before I did.
Erin’s teaching goes beyond techniques though she excels in that area, too.
What truly sets her apart is her ability to help artists confront their insecurities. I not only learned how to manipulate mediums, but I began to embrace my own artistic voice and have now developed my own vibe and genre. The transformation was profound—what once felt like an insurmountable challenge became a thrilling exploration of creativity.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Erin’s classes is witnessing as she helps others uncover their inner artists. As a trauma-informed legacy expert, she empowers students to explore their narratives and express their unique stories. With an innate ability to encourage self-exploration she addresses insecurities that hold people back, and they melt away.
Erin is a catalyst for transformation. If you are looking for someone who can help you discover your potential, I wholeheartedly recommend Erin. She will inspire you to see the artist within yourself, just as she did for me.

Erin is a gifted author, artist, teacher, and excavator of stories.
She has helped many women unravel the stories of their histories to get at the truths these tales tell.
So much of our humanity is bound up in our stories - those fairy tales we’ve longed to become realities, those stories we’ve made up and believe are our truths, and those stories that have been handed down through generations or assigned to us by others.
Raw, vulnerable and intuitive, Erin leads her classes by example and guides attendees gently down rabbit holes to collect the fragments of their personal histories.
Once found and illumined by a fresh perspective, these old narratives can be rewritten from a place of strength, compassion and love.

Working with Erin Faith Allen is an intervention of creativity and soul.
She expertly weaves the thread of art and history into a revolutionary body of work that is at once moving and necessary.
She has a gift for illuminating the dark night of the soul and enticing one to go deeper and farther into both personal and collective stories.
Her work offers not only profound insight but also a path to healing, inviting transformation through the powerful intersection of creativity and truth.

Erin is a master storyteller who weaves magic with her raw words and art. She is a brilliant alchemist who is able to see the astounding beauty and deep darkness in all things, and she melds them together into new vision. Erin is a gifted teacher who leads you into your own self-discoveries through her wealth of talent and examples.
When you take part in one of her workshops you are immersed in a new way of doing, and a new way of being. Boundaries are pushed, layers are peeled back. Thoughts, ideas and emotions are exposed; and your own wild, inspirational creative freedom is the payoff.
Every creative soul striving to go deeper should give themselves this gift ... you won’t be sorry.

I first met Erin in 2017, at a workshop gathering she’d organized at the Ghost Ranch in New Mexico.
She is the embodiment of soul-connected energy and intuition — possessing a rare combination of creativity, integrity and passion.
Spending time with her has had a profound and lasting effect on my own creative journey.

Working with Erin has been a truly transformative experience.
Her eye for detail and deep care for those she works with create an environment that feels both inspiring and safe.
Erin’s teaching style is a rare blend of warmth, clarity, and intuition, inviting you to explore new creative depths and discover fresh perspectives.
Her artwork speaks to the soul, calling you to journey inward and connect with your most authentic self.
I’m so grateful for her guidance and the insight she brings to her craft.
