Congratulations Sarah and Michael! So excited for the Sarah’s Version of Let’s Make Art! I will totally support this new and improved Let’s Make Art! Hopefully Keenan and Nicole will be coming back!
I met LMA in your beginning... I saw things "change" and I honestly felt it without knowing what had happened... I dropped off quite a bit in the last few years because of it. I'm SOOO happy that it feels like I'm going to be reinspired to get back at it again. YOU and your concept of Lets Make Art Matter is what drew me to you from the get go - so I am thrilled for you. I love your heart and I feel like I'm back too. Blessings over you and your family and now: your company
Sarah and Michael, you wouldn’t even know how we, as your followers of this channel, are thrilled to know that you both are the new owners of this wonderful art studio. This is so fabulous and even when it was under this umbrella of other art creators , i wanted to follow only your watercolor tutorials and now finally we get to watch only YOU and no one else and it would be sooooooooo wonderful to get such quality and beautiful artwork you create for us. Thank you thank you and good luck in this to be YOURS only and no one else!!! I love to see your projects and have gotten a few of the subscription boxes and your books. Awesome!!
I am so happy for you both!! You have always been the beating heart of LMA. Sarah, you were my company every sleepless night during the pandemic after my daughter went to bed. I didn't leave my house or yard for almost 18 months because I was high risk and trying to stay alive. I started with some Prangs, dollar store watercolor paper, and you as my teacher. I painted every day, and am still painting. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You helped me keep going during the very worst of times.
I’m so happy for you. I started painting with you in 2019. As a woman in my 70s living in South Africa there was no way I could subscribe to the boxes or buy supplies from you so I really appreciated the free tutorials and outlines. Just loved the happy vibe! I was so sad to see things deteriorating recently - Keenan leaving, lots of complaints about late or no delivery of orders, or badly packed orders, items missing or broken. This could not be the Sarah we all know and love, something must be going on. I’m so glad you’ve got the company back and can run it your way.
I started painting with you, Sarah at LMA during COVID! And I'm crying right along with you and am SO THRILLED and happy for you and Michael!!! Congratulations and thank you for continuing what we all love about LMA and loving us enough to buy your wonderful company back!! SUCH A HAPPY DAY!!
I am sobbing with joy for you! I can’t even begin to tell you what you have meant to me. You are what kept me sane during Covid. You taught me how to watercolor without fear. And, you gave this old woman a reason to get up every morning. You kept me company, and it was a joy to laugh along with you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Congrats! Your company brought me back to art and now I’m in school to hopefully become an artist full time. I’d lost art for a long time because I didn’t think I was good enough and I didn’t think you could make a living from it. I came across your company 6ish years ago and tried it out. It truly changed my life. So thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Just bought the digital box! I love these paintings! My husband got me a subscription to LMA for Christmas 2019 on my request. I’ve always been creative and wanted to get into Watercolor. Here I am 4 years later with an Etsy shop and family and friends who ask me to paint for them. It has been a wonderful outlet for me. I thank you, Sarah and former LMA staff for the love and care you put into making the world a better place with art!
To me, since my art has started, you were the first RU-vid channel I watched to learn painting and how it makes you feel. I always thought of you when I thought of Let’s Make Art, I thought of you. I had a heart attack halfway through my 3rd year (of many years K-HS) teaching Kindergarten. The school decided to put me back in HS, art was added as alternative certificate. I had to have a crash course in art, therefore, RU-vid tutorials. I learned enough of watercolor to get the students started. I am proud you are back as owner.
I am so very happy for you. You made me remember that I love creating art, as I did when I was a kid/teen. I am so grateful for what you have done to make art accessible to millions of people. May you be ever richly blessed. -DFC
Took me 2 weeks to watch this & only did bc TODAY My Hero, Love & BeautiFULL Living Jesus kept wooing me here & I came. I just watched this whole thing on my TV & good thing, bc I would’ve commented every other second! Oooo, I wish you could hear the breadth & width of love from each of us. I have had a drawing, was going to paint but couldn’t, I HAD to pour the HUGE river of love back 2 u. It says, “Let’s Make Art has my HEart!” from ~4 yrs ago. Everywhere I turned, my joy & love filled & ❤crushed on 🔁. Loving the one is worth standing on & shining for…& yes, my rare medical complications had me standing out & a target I became. To hear you, Sarah, say all you did & Michael. I’M NOT NUTS 2 have loved so much. The REAL Beauty never burned up. Not ever burned. THANK YOU for not letting your Light shine. Home = 100% LMA family. I’m home, disabled from gangrene anatomy while pregnant in 2008. Son is great! To live is 2 love. To love is 2 be there. I pray you experience the 💝from those who’s been holding your hand & ❤ all along! Let’s GO! I’m in Maryland but would LOVE to help every way I can. Just LOVE TO! 🎉 DM @Purejoy4ever on Instagram!
This is so fantastic!!! I love being a part of this! Thank you so much for doing this! Love you all, love you all!!!! I'm so excited! Have purchased the May box! This is the best May Basket ever!
Wow! Congrats! I did think you were the owners already, but I am so glad to know you have it to call your own again! Please bring back Nicole, Jess, and Keenan! I miss them!

This is terrific news! Sarah, you have been such an inspiration to me and helped me grow as an artist. Your and Michael’s positive spirit is a gift to all of us. So happy for the two of you. And yes this video made me cry!
You go, Sarah & Michael!! Proud of you. This 75 year old timidly started watercolor during covid and thanks to you, feel in love with it. Now I teach seniors, like myself, again thanks to you! Keep on going.
Congrats y’all! So proud of what y’all are doing and what you have become. You have helped so many enjoy, create, heal, and have a safe place to learn in a fun environment!
When you got up and left I suspected and I was right! Heck even when you started talking about new owners I guessed and hoped! Congratulations! So happy for you guys!
So incredible Sarah and Michael! Congratulations and cannot wait for this next chapter. You've brought so much joy into my life and my mom's life and we are better humans for it. Thank you for all you do. Would love to come to a retreat one day!
Congratulations Sarah and Michael! This is amazing news!! I have been following you from the beginning, you inspired me and helped me find my own love for watercolor, for that there is not enough thanks. Can’t wait to see where the next phase of this journey takes you!
OMG! THATS THE PAINTING IM OBSESSED WITH AND YOU PUT IT IN THE BOX! 😭😍❤ I'm so happy for you and so excited to see what you do with all this new potential! This is what I always envisioned let's make art turning into and it's lovely to see it come true ❤
This IS a dream come true! 🎊 🎉Your heart, all of who you are, your impact on so many lives, is from YOU! Not from any other group or organization. God bless you deeply and daily❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations. You deserve all the success. You will grow this to be the best company. I can’t wait to see how things progress. I ordered the May digital box and can’t wait to paint! ❤️💕
Looking forward to great things to come. It means a lot to know that you and Michael own LMA again. To be honest, didn't know you weren't owners anymore. Congrats to you and yay for all your fans!
Congratulations to you both! I enjoy watching the videos and the tutorials and I learned something each and every time and I especially love the repertoire and the laughing and all that good stuff between
Yay, Sarah and Michael! My first painting was carrots with a lot of help from you, thank you for starting me on my painting journey! The first tutorials I watch were when you were pregnant with your son. ❤
Congratulations! I am not a very good artist. However, I am inspired by you to just enjoy and never compare my work. It has been a pleasure to follow your tutorials. I look forward to following you in this new era. Good luck!! 🎨 🖌 ❤
If you can afford it buy an acreage with a building that can be used as a warehouse. Or build one on it. It will save rent and build equity. And you can live there as well.
So so happy for you guys! Good luck navigating this fresh start! I'm excited to see where you take Let's Make Art and I appreciate all that you do to make art accessible.
Congratulations! I have learned so much from your tutorials and you have been so motivating. I started in 2020 when I broke my ankle and have been doing your projects since. Your tutorials gave me the skills in order to complete some original paintings as well. You have giving me a love and passion for watercolor!
I love LMA! It was the beginning of me learning watercolor and it created a safe place to develop my new passion! Thank you for all you do, for the tutorials and the supplies you offer.
Wow guys! I'm so exited for you! You are amazing and I am so happy for you! ❤ P.s. I'm on maternity leave and I didn't realize that let's make art is owned by someone else...I missed that info...anyways, that's not important, what is is that you guys did it! It is yours now ❤ you are constantly an inspiration for me. Love you! Muah😘🤗❤️
So happy for you! I have been with you from the beginning. You are the reason I have picked up my paint brushes again….thank you! I personally LOVED receiving your art boxes as it helped start my collection of art supplies, and of course I have just expanded from there! I wish you so much success in this new adventure of yours and Michael’s ….. love, love, love!!!
Yes how to have a consistent creative process- some of us go slow- we desire it to be a process that is a lovely as your heart and spirit…. Seniors- some with cognitive challenges. 🙏🏼 thank you So Much
Sarah and Michael, I am so happy for you! I am really looking forward to continuing forward with you through all your changes to come, and I do hope you are able to get another store front at some point . That was one of my goals - to come see your store and meet you. Thank you for all you do and thank you for your “no pressure” ways. 💗
I would love your take on MERMAY! I love your style. I adore mermaids....not the little girl cutie, buy the siren's of the sea. Also enjoy adult Fairy's. YES on the workbooks! I love to be behind with projects so I have something to take with me on trips, etc! Again, CONGRATULATIONS!
Oh my God! This is amazing! You should of seen the look on my face haha 😮 CONGRATULATIONS!!!🎉🍾 I’m so excited! I found you under our Vendors from our Charter School! My kids loved your tutorials and kits! They did the leopard rainbow box! We LOVE Let’s Make Art! 🖼️ Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Sarah & Michael, I'm excited for you and for the Let's Make Art community! I've worried you would leave us to explore new avenues, and while that would be exciting, it is scary for those of us who rely on your spirit to ignite our inner artists. Thank you for being an inspiration to so many, thank you for sharing your time, energy, and talents with us, thank you for reminding us to be kind to ourselves, thank you for holding our hands and guiding us as we try something new and scary. You have blessed my life in ways you'll never witness, thank you! I'm pumped to take the leap with you. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Sarah, welcome back! You were one of my original watercolor teachers, after a really rough time in my life. You will always hold a dear spot in my heart. SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH! Looking forward to some old-style watercolor vids :)
I hope you open a big bottle of champain and had a great toast to a wonderful thing you are giving us thank you for all you do and I will be looking forward to this wonderful new beging.
So excited for you and Michael. I am so happy for you both. This will be a journey and I am hopeful that I can be a part of it with you both. I was not even aware that you all didn't own the business, so this is great news and such a blessing. I have been watching your videos for a long time (on and off), but I will make a point to watch more regularly and try to get the digital content when I can. I don't paint nearly as much as I used to, and I really want to get back to it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being transparent. Best to you always...Sundie
Congratulations! I am so happy for you two. I look forward to what the future holds as you figure everything out. One thing I will say is please be mindful of the expense of things for us. I am a retiree with limited income. I may not be able to afford the digital subscription, but I will try to support you in my own small way. I love your teaching style, and the beautiful things you teach us. I have bought several of your monthly boxes in the past, and I took advantage of your sales the last couple months to purchase several of your single projects. Thank you for all the joy you bring us with your beautiful smile and positive attitude. Can't wait to see how things go!
I am loving the change to some digital options or changes in general. I have kits that were never used and felt like I couldn’t buy more stuff. I love the idea of support for my creative process ❤
Thank you for bringing back subscriptions! I have no mental capacity to add one more thing on the to-do list, but subscriptions are the prompts I need! I would be really happy to have quarterly supply boxes along with it, or something!
Congratulations Sarah and Michael!! You have been synonymous with Let’s Make Art since the beginning, so this is really my best case scenario. So happy for both of you (and for all of us!)
