Hello, I’m Josephine!

I’m an artist who discovered the healing power of drawing during one of the hardest times of my life — jobless, living with chronic illness, and stuck in a global pandemic. In the middle of it all, my mother handed me a stack of plates and told me to just draw. From that day, drawing became my way back to joy.

“Dessine” means draw in French, and it’s been part of me since childhood. My family would call out “Josephine Dessine” — Josephine’s drawing — and it stuck. My mother, a painter herself, filled our home with her art and passed those creative roots on to me.

I started Josephine Dessine so others could experience what I did: the comfort, expression, and beauty that comes from making art with your own hands.

This course is my invitation to you — to slow down, to play, and to discover the joy of drawing. Together, we’ll create work that feels personal, meaningful, and uniquely yours.
