This year was shaped by art in motion ✨
Live event sketches. Immersive hands-on workshops. Transformating spaces with theme accents & flowers

Moments that turned vision into experience, and creativity into confidence.

2025 was a year of art-driven events, actions, meaningful growth, and creative transformation.

From live wedding art and immersive event design
to workshops, coaching, and vision-building experiences, this year proved that creativity isn’t just beautiful… it’s powerful.

I can't express my grateful for every client, student, and collaborator who trusted me and the process.

Here’s to creating with intention, leading with imagination, and stepping into what’s next. See you in 2026 🤍

As we step into 2026, I’m reminded that the most powerful goals aren’t rushed—they’re crafted.

Over the past few years, I’ve had the joy of guiding individuals and groups through artisan goal coaching and hands-on vision board workshops, where clarity meets creativity, and intention turns into something you can see and feel.

These experiences aren’t just about setting goals. They’re about slowing down, reconnecting with purpose, and aligning personal or professional vision together.

And these moments capture artisan goal coaching and hands-on vision board workshops designed for teams, leaders, creatives, and organizations who want more than a typical planning session.

✔ Reflection with purpose
✔ Creative clarity
✔ Collective alignment
✔ Tangible vision you can return to all year long

Ideal for professional teams, associations, leadership groups, clubs, or private gatherings looking to reset, realign, and move forward with confidence.

If your team, organization, association, or circle is ready for a meaningful reset in the new year, I’d love to create a custom workshop experience designed just for you.

Let’s design a workshop experience that meets your people exactly where they are, and helps them envision what’s next.

Less than a week from 2026 and this is your reminder that strategy works best when paired with intention.

There’s something powerful that happens when people pause long enough to see what they’re working toward.

Workshops can be part coaching, part creativity, and part collective exhale, bringing people together to reflect, imagine, and intentionally design what’s next.

These moments capture artisan goal coaching and hands-on vision board workshops designed for teams, leaders, creatives, and organizations who want more than a typical planning session.

✔ Reflection with purpose
✔ Creative clarity
✔ Collective alignment
✔ Tangible vision you can return to all year long

Ideal for professional teams, associations, leadership groups, clubs, or private gatherings looking to reset, realign, and move forward with confidence.

From professional teams and associations to creative groups and private gatherings, each experience is thoughtfully crafted to spark clarity, connection, and momentum.

Live event art is where storytelling meets experience.

Each sketch is created on-site, capturing guests in real time and transforming fleeting moments into meaningful keepsakes. It’s thoughtful, engaging, and leaves a lasting impression long after the event ends.

Designed for hosts, planners, brands, and organizations who value artistry, connection, and intentional guest experiences.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all

Good Afternoon ,

I know how busy this time of year must be for you, but I wanted to share this before we all dive into the holidays. After more than two decades of bringing beauty to life through weddings, events, and floral artistry, I find myself at a deeply inspiring crossroads, one that feels like the natural next chapter in the story of Vivid Expressions.

From the very beginning, my greatest joy has been helping others see and express their own vision more clearly. Whether through a breathtaking ceremony design, a thoughtfully curated atmosphere, or a single stem placed with intention, the heart of this work has always been empowerment: guiding creatives to refine their gifts and step confidently into their potential.

Beginning in 2026, Vivid Expressions will focus more intentionally on that essence. While I will continue to offer a limited collection of signature theme event & floral installations and select floral-forward workshops, honoring the artistry that has defined us, I am shifting the heart of the business toward mentoring, coaching, and curated experiences that help creative entrepreneurs, artists, and designers build soul-aligned, sustainable paths.

This means:
* Grow - On‑Demand Creative Courses:
Intimate coaching programs infused with therapeutic art practices for clarity, wellness, and strategic growth

* Learn - Creative Empowerment Mentoring:
On-demand courses, self-paced learning designed to bridge inspiration and ex*****on without burning out.

* Experience - Live Art, Workshops & Mini‑Retreats:
Live watercolor guest illustrations, event & wedding paintings, and rare immersive floral & creative workshops that blend practical wisdom with hands-on creative renewal.

* Create - Art Direction & Experiential Consulting:
Art direction and experiential consulting for brands and spaces seeking artistic, authentic, themed, and floral-rich guidance in their storytelling

* Signature Work - Limited Event Design & Biophilic Floral Art:
Limited offerings of signature theme event design atmospheres, and living, floral-inspired installations.

This evolution isn’t a departure, it’s a deepening!

The same thoughtful eye, decades of experience, and commitment to beauty that clients and colleagues have trusted for years will now guide creatives not only in designing unforgettable moments but in designing lives and businesses they truly love.

I’m excited to walk this path with you, whether as a past client celebrating this new season, a colleague collaborating on shared projects, or a fellow creative ready to refine your own vision. There is still so much beauty ahead, and I can’t wait to help bring it vividly to life.

With warmth and gratitude,
Janel Bailey Keen
Creative Director & Mentor

A little holiday cheer from my creative heart to yours

This season feels like an invitation—to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters.

May your days be filled with warmth, cozy moments, and small sparks of inspiration that creates moments that truly matter linger long after the colorful lights come down.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and the coziest of holidays ✨

When the vision becomes reality.

One of my favorite parts of our client's night was bringing their vision of glitz + glamour to life. Although they loved the concept illustrations I presented, seeing the sketch during the planning process helps us both clearly communicate and the client to share their desire for "moody" and "art deco".

These floral and feather structures were built to create impact — and the before/after still gives me chills. Event design is storytelling… and this story was all glitz, glamour, and magic. 🎄✨🎨💐

What a stunning holiday event this weekend. Come with me behind the scenes of turning a bold, theatrical vision into reality.
From mood boards ➝ mockups ➝ luxurious florals ➝ live watercolor keepsakes for guests.
Design isn’t just what you see… it’s what you feel.
And this night felt like pure enchantment.

A little before ➝ after magic ✨
What started as empty space transformed into a dramatic Wicked-inspired backdrop filled with lush florals, emerald glow, and theatrical texture.
Design is transformation... and this one was pure joy to create. 💚🌿✨

Remember, once you learn the techniques & skills, you'll have them forever. So, join us at our next hands-on workshop or professional creative training program. Get more details:
