Here’s what you get as a member…
Weekly Art Challenges
Get a new, straightforward prompt every week to keep you creating consistently.
Some are playful, some go deeper—but all help you build momentum, expand your skills, and grow a body of work you love.
Exclusive Online Community
Become part of our private membership website — our artist’s clubhouse! Connect with fellow creatives, collaborate, and share your journey in a supportive space.
Being part of this community keeps you motivated, accountable, and inspired every week.
Monthly Online Gatherings
Join us online on the first Thursday of each month to talk art, ask questions, and connect with fellow members over coffee or tea.
If you can’t make it live, a recording is always waiting for you. These gatherings keep you motivated, supported, and creating.
Fuel Your Creativity Every Week
Engage in diverse, thought-provoking challenges designed to inspire creativity, self-expression, and personal growth.
Each challenge includes prompts exploring themes that connect art and life — encouraging reflection, experimentation, and fun.
Once a month, join a live online gathering to share your work, laugh, and learn with fellow members.
Know this all
too well?
Going it alone squanders your creativity — art fuels your soul when shared.
You want inspiration and a space to explore your love of making art.
You’re done putting everyone and everything above your need to create.
Sharing your art in a supportive group might feel scary, but you’re ready to shine!

Mary's challenges are not only clear and inspiring, but a healing journey of self-discovery. The live Zoom sessions are so relaxing and supportive I am comfortable sharing even when I am not feeling great about my work.
Mary and the other artists are kind and give constructive ideas to follow through, encouraging me to continue and complete the artwork.

I love that Mary fosters such a supportive and positive environment... everyone in this group feels that.
We can create something that has value to us and to others. Mary fosters a fabulous environment... that's key!

Founder
Mary Telfer
Hi, I’m Mary — artist, mentor, and founder of The Creative Collective, a thriving online membership that inspires and supports artists of all levels. Whether you’re a seasoned creator, a “closet creative” longing to make art again, or someone who doesn’t feel like an artist but wants to try, I believe creativity should be joyful, freeing, and accessible to everyone.
With an MFA, 20+ years of teaching experience, and features on Martha Stewart Radio, the Chicago Tribune, and Home Business Magazine, I bring both passion and expertise to nurturing your creative journey. Through art challenges, online classes, and workshops, I help artists break through creative blocks, experiment fearlessly, and build confidence in their unique artistic voice.
Each week in The Creative Collective, I offer engaging art challenges to ignite ideas and push creative boundaries. My online classes provide a welcoming space for learning, feedback, and connection, helping artists develop skills in a supportive community.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck, unsure, or too busy to make time for art. That’s why I’m passionate about helping people reclaim their artistic voice, embrace imperfection, and find joy in the process. No matter where you are on your journey, there’s a place for you here.
Let’s create something amazing together!
Create. Share.Connect.
Let your art speak in community.
