A bit more about us

Follow Your Art is the brainchild of artist and creative facilitator Kathy Toka, born from a deep love of art, community, and the transformative power of creative practice. What began as a simple life-drawing offering has grown into a vibrant, inclusive collaboration between artists, models, performers, and creatives of all kinds.

At its heart, Follow Your Art offers weekly untutored life drawing sessions with a live model—providing a relaxed, focused space for artists to explore their own process without instruction or pressure. These are complemented by bi-monthly long-pose days, where artists have the rare opportunity to work with the same model holding the same pose for an entire day, allowing for deeper observation, extended studies, and immersive creative flow.

Adding a bold and playful edge is Kinky Drawers—an evening arthouse extravaganza combining burlesque models, live music, and visual art in a sensual, celebratory atmosphere that’s truly not to be missed.

While Kathy runs the show, what truly defines Follow Your Art is the environment she cultivates: warm, welcoming, and inclusive. Artists of all skill levels and experience are encouraged to come exactly as they are, connect with others, and—most importantly—follow their art.
