the kitchen-workshop evangelist who hands you a brush before hello

Origin: accident
Personality
A creature that shoves a paintbrush into your hand within four minutes of meeting you and refuses to accept any 'I'm not creative' as a valid response. Runs three workshops out of her kitchen. Considers every wall wasted until it has paint on it. Buys clay wholesale. Cries at her students' final presentations.
