FAQ’s

Are you ready to take the LEAP? NOW is the time to have ALL THAT YOU HAVE EVER DREAMED.

Never drawn or painted? THAT’S OK! Some of my most successful students claimed they couldn’t even draw a stick figure!

THERE IS ONLY ONE REQUIREMENT TO WORK WITH ME…the DESIRE to have FUN!

What is a Creative Life Coach?

Using creative processes (like journaling, collaging, drawing, painting and clay) for self exploration to guide you to your FULLEST POTENTIAL!

What if I am not an artist?

Lots of my students claim to be uncreative and some were even terrified to do Art. Do not FEAR! I’m here to help you every step of the way! I believe EVERYONE is an artist. Monet and Van Gogh were shunned from the art world when they were creating Art. In hindsight, they were ahead of their time and breaking new ground. EVERYONE IS UNIQUE…. Be BRAVE and GO FOR IT.

What kind of Art will I make?

The sky is the limit! We can use crayons to oil paints! Paper mache to clay! Journaling to Poetry! Photography too! Together, we will decide what is right for you.

Who will see my art and what will it look like?

Unless you choose otherwise, your art will only be seen by you and I. Your creations are just for YOU. Making Art for self exploration is FUN! The art can be primitive and childlike or professional and polished. It doesn’t matter. Creating Art can be cutting out magazine pictures, scribbling on paper, throwing paint at a canvas or squishing some clay between your fingers. IT IS ABOUT THE PROCESS-Not the product. I have been teaching Art for over 20 years. I have worked with children and adults of every skill level. My process is gentle and life changing all at the same time! Whoohoo!

What if I AM an artist?

Awesome! This will be a rich opportunity for you to enhance your creativity and use your talents for personal exploration. Call me and we can discuss your talents and desires. I will create a program just for YOU that embodies YOUR medium.

I’m scared.

I totally understand. I’ve been there MANY times! That is the beauty of working with me. I am here for YOU. I will hold your hand every step of the way. Offering support and guidance, you can lean on me as you discover your personal TRUTH! What FUN we will have together!

 

Why?

Because you DESERVE IT! You do not need to be an artist (or even be able to draw a stick figure) to work with me. All you need is the desire to be creative and TRANSFORM your life from ordinary to EXTRAORDINARY!
