Artists,
Are you feeling overwhelmed with the many tasks and goals that comes with being a working artist? Do you have a great project or business idea but need some help in how to get started? Are you looking for feedback and guidance on your current grant or project proposal? Are you looking to transition into a new medium or advance to the next level but feeling unsure?
I’ve broken through many ceilings in my own journey as an artist. Some ceilings I created for myself. Money anxiety. Outsider syndrome. Perfectionism. I learned to appropriately churn these emotions into fuel by developing a practice that honors ME: my personality, my history, my fears, my desires. Only then did I find joy, fulfillment, and success in my career.
My goal as a coach is to empower you to do the same: to build a creative career filled with joy, resilience, authenticity, and abundance.
Being an artist is hard work. While I cannot do the work for you, I hope to lighten its burden somewhat using whatever knowledge or wisdom I’ve learned from my experience.
Are you ready to invest in your practice? If you are, do reach out.
I look forward to walking this journey besides you.
-Q
