ARE YOU ON THE WRONG PATH?
It’s easy to get off track. Perhaps you made a responsible choice, or life interrupted, or you just got stuck. Take a look at where you are, is this where you want to be? If so, wonderful!
But if not, it’s time for a change!
It’s time to start YOUR authentic journey.
FIND YOUR PATH
WHY do you make art?
WHAT do you want to do with your art?
These are some very important questions that can help you figure out your direction. You will never arrive at a destination if you don’t pick one first!
NOT SURE WHICH PATH?
It can be hard to know which way to go, especially if you have multiple interests. You want to do it all and end up going nowhere. I can tell you that picking any direction is better than nothing but picking the right direction…priceless. You have the answers, and I can help you find them!
HONOR YOUR CREATIVITY
It’s my belief that creativity is a basic human characteristic.
But some of us are called to make it more —this is a gift and a responsibility.
Are you honoring your creativity?
ARE THERE INSTRUCTIONS?
You have a lot of amazing pieces. How do they go together? This can be the hardest part!
I can help you fill the gaps and construct the bigger picture. You have already done so much and working together we can create that complete picture.
FRUSTRATED?
Are you stuck on a piece, or in the middle of a transition? Do you feel like you have TRIED EVERYTHING and just have no idea what to do next? This is completely normal! We often just need an outside viewpoint with an experienced perspective.
A little guidance can be incredibly helpful and I guarantee there IS something you haven’t tried and I can help you find it!
THERE ARE SIGNS EVERYWHERE!
The universe is giving you an answer!
No matter how you respond to that call, pay attention. Use this as an opportunity to recommit to your art & art practice.
Engage more with what you really want, follow your creativity!
READY? YOU WILL BE!
We never FEEL ready but we DO get to a point where we are prepared. You may have shown before or are looking for your first opportunity. We all start somewhere and even experienced artists still feel that hesitation. It is all a matter of assembling those pieces and creating a consistent body of work.
I can help you prepare.
YOU HAVE AMAZING IDEAS!
You are FULL of amazing ideas, that's what makes you an artist. But sometimes you need help working through blocks or figuring out how an idea will work. You need insightful feedback on your work and some guidance from an experienced perspective.
I can provide the feedback & assistance you need!
WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?
For most creatives, making art tops that list.
But we are often told that art is self-indulgent or not realistic. ....WHAT?
It's YOUR life and you get to choose how to spend it.
If you want to pursue your art this is your opportunity! There are so many ways this can look. We will find a way that works for you and your life.
Follow your passion to happiness!
