Nature Works
Nature Works helps you live in harmony.
Nature works explore plants to uncover their full potential. Nature works teach how to grow the plants and best harvesting practices. Each program focuses on one plant. You get a starter plant and directions on growing it. The program fully discusses what the possibilities are to eat and drink it as well as how to use it topically. You get recipes and direction on how to incorporate the plant into your everyday life. The highly anticipated part of the programs is tasting and drinking. You will taste Kombuchas, teas, tinctures, meads, flavored vodka, salad dressings and more.
Once you start exploring the benefits of plants that simply grow around us, on the side of the road and the cracks of sidewalks you will see that the universe not only challenges us but also gives us the answers. Nature Works helps you awaken to the beauty of life.
Move past the idea of having a garden and see the possibilities of creating an environment that promotes your wellness both physically and mentally. Nature works help you see how to create an edible yard or forest. Instead grow mint, clover and dandelions, instead of grass. You and your yard will live in harmony with the planet.
Your life will change from how to get rid of a plant to how to use it. Plants and humans can live in harmony. Stop fighting nature and see how everything was designed to work together.
Engaging Arts
Building Communities one project at a time
Engaging Arts is a public art and design agency based in Georgia. We design and produce hands-on projects and programs. The programs are platforms for people to engage, connect, converse, and grow within their communities. The projects allow the public to point to a small part they created in a larger sculpture or mural. As a result, the public develops an instant connection and sense of ownership not just to the work of art, but to the location where it is installed.
We are guided by a passionate belief in the power of art to create inspiring personal experiences that transform communities and inspire stewardship. Art is a bridge that transcends challenges in language, culture, and beliefs.

Fearless Art
If you are overwhelmed by decorating or the idea of making art on your own, you’re not alone. Fearless Art will help you build a joyful space and a life filled with confidence. As you transform your space, it will in turn, transform you within. The process of making art will bring balance and clarity into your life. Fearless Art will help you find your creative voice in a stress free and supportive environment.
Classes are designed to help you find your confidence in expressing yourself and style. Starting with a wall, learn to transform it, to reflect all that makes you unique. The classes allow you to go at your own pace, make artwork of your own, print works customized to your space or work one on one with the artist . The goal is to hang a collection of artworks in your personal space that brings you joy.

Deargod
There are days when you are dealing with difficult times and in your mind you hear the chatter of judgment and resentment. Dear God / Dear Universe is designed to give you a physical presentation of the thoughts you are working to manifest. You are looking for strength, clarity, or just want to soften the pain you feel.
No matter your religion or even if you’re not religious, “Dear God / Dear Universe” can help you. By literally displaying your desires/prayers in a wall hanging, you are clarifying your goals and in turn the path will manifest itself.
The sculptures are designed so you can add and subtract statements as well as change the order in the list. You are a growing spirit and your needs will change throughout your life. What you need as a 20 year old will be different in your 40s. Hopefully as you understand the way to grow is to look within you will understand that your prayers and meditations are strengthening your relationship with your spirit and soul.
Believing that there is more to life than our bodies and our mind will strengthen the idea that you can cultivate a life you like. Don’t buy into the propaganda that life happens to you. You are life, you are the earth and soil. Your thoughts and desires are exactly what the universe wants for you. If you are looking for something, a particular request let me know and I will create it for you.

Tesitimonials
I first took a womens Carpentry to make a planter. Since then, She has helped me make a headboard and platform bed, a loft for my son and many other projects. If I want to learn how to do something Deborah is the first place I go. She is great to work with.
Deborah’s Workshops are addictive. All my projects are part of my party rental business. Deborah is literally helping me become self-employed. I love that I can learn carpentry, ceramics, sewing and making handcrafted tea at her studio.
I am a lifer. I took a class and never looked back. Deborah makes learning so natural that it is hard to leave at the end of the day. The people I have met are lifelong friends.
