Ignite Your Inner Artist
Ditch Art Making Myths & Kickstart your Stress-Free Path to a Meaningful Art Career
FIND OUT HOW
Do the words, I am an ARTIST, make you feel..
Uneasy, Shy or Overwhelmed?
I hop from art class to art course but never feel quite ready or good enough to call myself an artist
I can't imagine anybody actually appreciating my art, let alone buying it
My social media profile says 'artist' but do I have enough talent to take my creativity seriously
Sound familiar?
Believe it or not, there are many creatives struggling to embrace their artistic identity, shying away from making the word ARTIST their own.
BUT...If you're ready to ditch the lies holding you back, own this space and find your path to self-expression that is genuine & liberating, then I'd love to show you how!
My passion is helping creatives discover their voice & work with artistic freedom
