ABOUT
Charcoal • Pastel • Mixed Media
I’m Charice Lavonya, founder of CLav Art Studio — where creativity meets calm. I am an artist and educator creating expressive portrait work in charcoal, pastel, paint, and mixed media.
I began creating at the age of seven, entertaining my great-grandparents with storytelling and eccentric illustrations. What started as play became a lifelong practice.
I create because I am drawn to the process of building something from nothing — slowly, intentionally, and with focus. Working with charcoal and pastels offers a grounding, meditative experience where touch, imagination, and patience shape each piece.
The work does not always unfold exactly as I envision it, and that unpredictability is part of its beauty. The journey matters as much as the result. My work is an invitation into peace, reflection, strength, and emotional honesty — both on the page and within ourselves.
My hope is that through this work — and through the spaces I create for others — you feel invited to reconnect with your own creativity.
CREATIVE OFFERINGS
My work extends beyond finished pieces. I offer reflective art experiences and creative guidance rooted in process, presence, and emotional expression.
Creative Workshops & Facilitation
I facilitate reflective art workshops that invite emotional exploration, expressive freedom, and a process-focused approach to creativity.
Designed for small groups, women-led creative communities, and retreat spaces, these sessions offer a calm, supportive environment to slow down and create without pressure. The focus is on exploration over perfection and creativity over outcome—allowing each participant to engage with their own unique expression.
Available by inquiry.

One-on-one or small group guidance for adults and teens interested in developing confidence, expressive freedom, and process-focused art practice. Sessions emphasize exploration over perfection and creativity over outcome.
