Alex + Mom Creations
A Child's Imagination Plus Professional Art
When Alex was five, she saw me creating art for a charity auction to support children with a rare genetic disorder. Inspired to help, she grabbed her crayons and drew a magnificent lion unicorn. This act of kindness filled my heart to the brim, and her art was so precious and beautiful. I digitally recreated her drawing and together we submitted it for auction. Our 'mommy-daughter' artwork sold for $450, thrilling and further inspiring Alex. Now, Alex is eager to continue making a difference.
We have officially teamed up! Mommy and Daughter will donate 50% of our joint artwork profits to Alex's chosen charity. The rest goes into her future education fund.
About Kendra
I discovered that I loved... or rather needed art, when I was a teenager. After receiving a Bachelor Of Design Degree at the Alberta College (now University) of Arts and Design, I received a scholarship to study art in Manhattan at The School of Visual Arts.
Upon finishing my studies I became an advertising art director in NYC. I created advertising campaign for a wide variety of clients, including Denny's, sunglass hut, Meijer, Duane Reade, Newmans Own, and Chobani Yogurt.
Next stop on my journey; Cambodia. I moved across the world to join a marketing agency focused on humanitarian efforts. Some clients included Lucky Iron Fish, Friends International, Better Work Vietnam, and the United Nations.
In 2015, I returned to Canada to be with family, launching my career as an independent creative. Today, I lead Creations By Kendra, a versatile creative company specializing in illustration, design, and creative development.
Art Lessons
In 2016, I began offering private one-on-one art classes. In 2020, I joined Outschool as an Art and Design Instructor, where I've had the privilege of teaching thousands of learners! I can proudly say that I have taught people from age 3-95
My teaching covers a broad spectrum of art, including fundamental concepts like perspective, lighting, composition, color, and shading, as well as various drawing styles such as realism, cartooning, contour drawing, pointillism, and abstract art, using mediums like colored pencils and markers. I also teach watercolor and acrylic painting, as well as graphic design, advertising, and creative problem-solving.
During my classes, I lead by example, actively creating alongside my students.
Art is more than a valuable work place skill. It is a means of healthy self-expression, communication, and personal reflection. Through art, I instill the importance of patience and persistence, fostering both mental and emotional growth.
For one-on-one lessons, please contact me directly. For group classes, you can find my offerings on Outschool.

My teen took drawing classes in person and on line for more than a year and greatly improved their drawing skills. Kendra presented a variety of projects, mediums and substrates with great aplomb. Would highly recommend her for kids, teens, and adults"

"Our daughter’s taken 3 classes with her now, and has never felt either rushed or bored, waiting for a next step. It’s beautifully paced, and her frequent check-ins with her students ensure that no one falls behind. We also love that Kendra compliments her demonstrations with fascinating trivia about the subject they’re drawing. Our daughter will definitely be taking more classes with Kendra"
