Let’s work together

Flexible Coaching on Your Schedule

Are you ready to take your art to the next level? Would you like to kick fear and perfectionism to the curb when it comes to creativity? Are you curious about the many ways to sell your art, or make more money from your art, if you’re already selling?

If so, you’ll love the flexible coaching I offer!

COACHING DESIGNED FOR ARTISTS

Get the coaching you need, when you need it.

Art is a visual medium, so it makes sense to be able to show you what I’m seeing in your work as it moves from your first stroke to completion. Art also takes time, so it makes sense for us to be able to communicate frequently or it will slow down your progress if you have to wait until the next scheduled interaction. And, of course, you have a life outside of art that sometimes involves a change of plans, so it makes sense that coaching should work with your busy life.

Check, check, and…check! 

My art coaching is designed for maximum flexibility so you get what you need, whenever you need it. 

You’ve come to the right place.

100% Flexible

So…how does it work?

The first thing that happens is I’ll send you a link to a form where you can share a little bit about yourself, where you’re at in your art journey, and where you want to go.

You’ll also get a link to my online calendar where you can choose a time that works for you to hop on a Zoom meeting with me so we can get to know each other more and you can show me some of your work.

After that, how often we communicate is up to you. 

I’ll set up a private Facebook group that’s only for you and me. That’s where you’ll post photos of your projects and I’ll post video responses with screen recordings in which I digitally draw on your image and teach you to see what you’re missing. I’ll also make recommendations or ask questions for you to reflect upon. This creates an archive of our exchanges that you can re-watch and refer back to whenever you need, and it documents your progress over time so you can see your artistic/creative growth unfolding. How exciting!

In addition to our private FB group, I’ll give you my private Voxer info so you can ask me quick questions any time Monday through Friday and I’ll get back to you quickly. Usually within a few hours, but sometimes within minutes. (Just don’t go crazy messaging me at midnight and expect an instant reply.)

Of course, you can send me emails whenever that’s more convenient for you.

If you’re someone who needs regular accountability, you can use a Google form I set up for that purpose, and you’re free to use any or all of the other methods, as well.

And I’ll definitely pop in to check on you randomly from time to time. 😉

I have a VAST array of art knowledge and experience in terms of materials, methods, genres, mindset, monetization, and more.

Is thisYou?

I’ve worked with artists of all ages, skill levels, genres, and 2-D media. I understand the frustration of not knowing how to get started, or not being able to figure out what’s “off” with a piece so you can fix it. I know what it’s like to get so mad or frustrated with your work that you cry. (CONFESSION: This still happens to me sometimes.) In working with all different types of personalities, I’ve discovered that I can best serve clients who are:

My Values

Deciding to work with a coach is a big step for any artist. It involves finding someone with the knowledge, experience, personality, and values you resonate with, and someone you can trust. If our values don’t mesh, our coaching relationship won’t work, and I won’t be able to provide you what you need. So you’ll know who I am as a person and coach, here are my top values:

Individuality.

Freedom.

Freedom means different things to different people. To me, it looks like passion, authenticity, and a deep sense of fulfillment. It means enjoying and expressing the things you find meaningful. It’s the willingness to be open and vulnerable because you have faith that everything will be okay in the end. It also means being independent and self-reliant, which is my ultimate goal for you as an artist. We might work together for a few months or a few years, but at some point, I expect you to spread your wings and fly free because you’ve taken everything I can give you and you’re ready to move on.

Wisdom.

Goodness.
