Coaching for Artists
Andy Warhol said 'Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if its good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art'
​
Seth Godin said 'If you are willing to do something that might not work, you're closer to being an artist'
​
Francis Ford Coppola said 'I don't think there is an artist of any value who doesn't doubt what they're doing'.
​
My most favorite quote is by artist Vincent Willem van Gogh 'If you hear a voice within you say, you cannot paint, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced'.
​
As an artist of 13 years, I understand what it takes to create. I know what it feels like to work on a piece for hours, days, even weeks - finish it - think you love it and then realize that you don't like it at all. I know what it feels like to stay out of your studio because you don't have the confidence to be able to create what you want to create. I know what a creative block of 6 months feels like.
​
I also know how great it feels to ...
Show up, work in your studio and all of a suddem four hours have gone by.
Create a series of paintings you are really excited about.
Create the kind of art you find compelling.
Coaching can help you work around self doubts and fears and change it slowly. It can help find your style and voice in art. To better accept yourself with compassion and create more joyfully. To understand that sometimes doubt and trust are working hand in hand as you explore the big white canvas.
