History
CreateSmART Academy was launched in April 2020 by a team of Alcohol Ink and Mixed Media art instructors. The academy is a collaboration of two major sources of alcohol ink art instruction — Sheryl Williams’s Academy of Alcohol Ink and from the Alcohol Ink Art Society. The instructional platform was the result of work by Laurie Williams and Sheryl Williams. Their purpose was to consolidate a large pool of instructional resources for alcohol ink and mixed media art and to create a platform for the entire team of alcohol ink and mixed media instructor to host and sell their future courses.
