When was the last time you and your best friend did something that wasn't catching up over coffee or running errands together?

Real question. And honestly, no judgment — because same.

Life gets full. The things we do together get smaller. And before you know it, your deepest friendship is mostly surviving alongside each other instead of actually being together.

'Dear You' is a two-hour girly playdate — for you and the woman who just came to mind when you read that.

You'll paint. You'll laugh. You'll probably get a little emotional and blame it on the 'paint fumes'. And you'll walk out with actual art you made side by side — and maybe a few things said that needed to be said for a while.

It's not a painting class. It's a VERY good excuse to show up for each other.

April 18. 4–6 PM.
Deja Brew, Parker CO.
$75 for the duo.
Only 4 duos — link in bio.

'Wannabe 'came on my Spotify and I was gone. 😄

Suddenly I was 14 again — jamming out with my best friend, word for word, move for move. Passing notes in class. Inside jokes nobody else got. That feeling of just... being a girl with your girl.

I've been chasing that feeling ever since.
So I built a space for it.

Two hours at our favorite . Your person. Paint, chaos, girl band anthems on full blast, and a moment midway through that I genuinely cannot stop thinking about.

I don't want to spoil it. You're just going to have to come.

Spots are limited and going fast — link in bio to grab yours.

And go tag your person right now. She needs to see this. 👇🎨"

I was driving somewhere recently when 'Wannabe' by the Spice Girls came on my Spotify.

And just like that — I was 16 again.

I could see my best friend and I jamming out, word for word, move for move. For the record — I was Posh Spice. 😄

It brought this huge smile to my face. And then I went down a rabbit hole — old photos, old memories... and notes. Notes we wrote to each other. I still have them.

And sitting there with all of that in my hands, I thought — when did we stop doing this? When did life get so busy that we stopped just... being girls together?

That's when I knew I needed to create this.

Because here's what I know — art can hold all of it. The emotions. The joy. The nostalgia. The friendship. As much as you want to throw at it — it can hold it.

You just have to give it the chance.

And I've watched women walk in unsure and leave with paint on their hands and a smile they didn't expect. That transformation is so much sweeter when your person is right there next to you.

That's exactly what 'Dear You' is.

A girly playdate for you and your BFF — paint, girl band anthems on full blast, zero rules, and a moment midway through that I genuinely cannot stop thinking about.

I don't want to spoil it. You're just going to have to come.

You showed up in my DMs, you shared the posts, you told me you were interested — and I heard every single one of you.

Life is busy, and sometimes the timing just isn't right. So instead of pushing forward, we shifted things around.

And now? We're coming back to with a new date — AND new energy. Because this time, your BFF is invited.

Yes. BOTH of you.

Okay, let me tell you what this actually is — because I can barely contain myself.

Dear You: A Girly Playdate for You and Your BFF.

Remember passing secret notes in class? The inside jokes nobody else got? That feeling of just being a girl with your girl — no agenda, just pure fun?

We're bringing that back. Your favorite girl band anthems, some really fun art making, and a special moment I genuinely cannot stop thinking about — I just don't want to spoil it yet. 🎨✨

DM me READY and I'll send you all the details. Spots are limited and I'm keeping it that way. Go tag your person. 👇

Okay let's properly meet. 😄

I'm Dhruvi - therapeutic artist, studio founder, and the woman who will hand you a paintbrush and say "don't think, just feel" while you internally spiral a little. (It's fine. That's part of it.)

I have a Master's in Counseling, lived experience with ADHD, trauma and anxiety, and I truly believe that sometimes color says what words just can't.

The work we do here ranges from "wait... are we really painting with a FORK right now?!" 🍴😂 all the way to the quieter, deeper sessions where something actually shifts inside you. Sometimes in the same afternoon.

The Art Alchemy Studio is for women who are really good at holding everything together (or maybe not so much lately) - and really need a space to just be.

Come make a mess with me. You're so welcome here. ✨

Fork painter or deep feeler? Tell me which one you are (or if you're somehow both 😄) 👇

And if you have questions about what I do or how this all works — ask me anything. I'm an open book.

I wasn't expecting this one. And honestly, I'm still tearing up about it.

Shannon Day from the Heart of Parker Podcast mentioned me in a recent conversation with Eric from The Hive Community Center.

She shared that before we met, she was scared to create — she believed you had to be good at art to do it. But since our conversation last year, she picks up a brush and just plays. For the pure fun of it.

It was just a conversation. I had no idea the impact it made.

This is exactly why I do this. Because art was always meant to be for everyone. And if you've ever told yourself you're not creative enough — that is not true. It never was.

So pick up that brush and just play. No agenda, no rules. Pure childlike fun — the way it was always meant to feel. And then tell me how that feels. 🤍

Thank you Shannon, and a huge thank you to — a space that truly champions small businesses and the people building them. I am so lucky to have you in my corner. 🤍

I know what's stopping you. And I want to talk about it.

Swipe through — I'm answering every question, every hesitation, and every "but what if..." you've had about the Creative Restoration Workshop.

Because you deserve to have all the information before you decide. And honestly? I think once you do — you'll know.

March 10 & 17 | Parker, CO

Can I tell you why I really created this workshop?

I have ADHD, and honestly the best way I can describe it is that there's a magnifying glass on all of my emotions. All of them. And I only know how to give my all - as a mom, a wife, a new business owner, a friend. I want to be fully present for every single one of those parts of my life.

But when I didn't give that same attention to myself? I could barely show up for any of it. The people I love most, the things that matter most - I had nothing left to give them because I had given nothing to me.

And the hard part is, I couldn't even fully express the gravity of what I was feeling with words. But art could hold it. Art had a way of expressing what I couldn't say out loud, of giving my emotions somewhere to go, and honestly - giving me some reprieve.

Then I started having conversations with women everywhere I went. Networking events, organic connections, friends. And I kept seeing the same thing over and over again - we are all in the same boat. Exhausted, stretched thin, and taking care of ourselves isn't even a priority for most of us. It's not even on the list.

That's why I feel this is SO important. This isn't a nice-to-have. This is necessary.

The Creative Restoration Workshop is the space I wish I'd had. Two Tuesdays — March 10 & 17 — in Parker CO. Spots still available.

Link in bio. I would truly love to hold this space for you. 🤍

Okay I have to be honest with you.

March 10th is one week away and I still have spots open in the Creative Restoration Workshop — and I've been thinking about the women who haven't signed up yet.

Maybe that's you. Maybe you've seen my posts, felt something stir, and then kept scrolling. I get it. Life is busy. The timing never feels perfect.

But here's what I know: the women who need this the most are usually the last ones to give themselves permission to show up for it.

So consider this your loving nudge from a friend — you deserve two Tuesdays where the only thing you have to do is show up, breathe, and paint. I'll handle everything else.

📅 March 10 & 17

📍 Deja Brew, Parker CO

🎨 No art experience needed — seriously, none

👯‍♀️ Women only, intentionally small group

This piece was meant to be heavy.

I sat down to paint everything that’s been living in my head lately. The thoughts, the noise, the constant processing, the feeling of holding a lot at once.

But as I kept painting, something shifted.

Layer by layer, it started getting lighter.
Brighter.
Warmer.

Without planning it, the painting moved from weight… to release.

What came forward instead was this fiery, almost celestial energy. A reminder that even when my mind feels full or tangled, there is still movement, creativity, and life happening inside it.

Sometimes the painting leads.
Sometimes it shows you where you actually are, not where you thought you were.

And apparently… my inner world wanted celebration more than heaviness.

Lately I’m learning to trust what unfolds instead of forcing meaning.
