'I Help Artists Find Creative Freedom!'
'When I was six, my father woke me up in what seemed the middle of the night to tell me that he had just seen my name in the newspaper. He showed me the page in the Sunday Times announcing that I'd won an art competition. Unbeknownst to me, my art teacher had sent one of my art pieces to an art competition, and I won a prize. I remember lying awake that night, secretly wondering if being an artist could ever be my job.'
I ALWAYS KNEW I WANTED TO BE AN ARTIST
A happy, creative, and successful artist.
For a long time, I was NOT.
At the art academy, I had learned how to paint and draw, but I had no idea how to live a life as a fulfilled artist.
This left me feeling...
FRUSTRATED
...often MISUNDERSTOOD,
...and at times, WANTING TO GIVE IT ALL UP.
But I couldn't!
I knew in my heart that....
it must be possible.
WHAT DOES THE LIFE OF AN ARTIST LOOK LIKE?
I had no real strategy, no clear long-term goals, and very little knowledge of living as an artist.
I started devouring books, gently harassing other successful artists, embracing mentors, and having a good look at all my failed attempts.
And then I had an AHAAA moment.
It was not the art world, my childhood, or even my talent that was to blame...
BUT...drumroll, please...
It was my lack of INTENT.
The lightbulb was on, and I needed a CHANGE OF HEART, so I got to work.
THE THREE THINGS I NEEDED TO CHANGE
1. The way I think about myself,
2. My attitude towards my art,
3. That it was up to me to take steps towards more creative freedom!
Talk about confronting...
I could no longer blame anybody or anything for not being creatively productive.
For more than 30 years, I've coached & taught many visual artists to build happy, healthy art practices, and I can do the same for you.
I'd love to teach you all the moving parts of transforming your art into a meaningful life filled with joy and self-expression.
When you get clear about what you want and start to take intentional steps toward your art dream, you will see growth.
YOUR ART IS A GIFT THAT BRINGS JOY TO THE LIVES YOUR ART CONNECTS WITH!
