Become the artist you’ve always wanted to be.
The Artist Collective brings together visual artists of all styles and varying levels of creativity. Artists who love painting, drawing, or mixed media are welcome to join this creative space to learn, share knowledge and inspiration, and support one another on the path to artistic fulfillment.
This membership is both a creative community and a personal exploration of creating art in a style that reflects how you see the world. You will learn to trust your instincts and move towards the art you want to make.
My years of teaching and creating have made me aware of the obstacles we all face as artists. By taking action to break these barriers down, you will gain momentum in your creative practice and follow your path toward artistic growth, leading you to eventually build a visual language representing your point of view as an artist.
It is for this reason that I am forming The Artist Collective. I hope to serve as your teacher, mentor, and fellow artist by laying a foundation to give you the tools to overcome self-imposed limitations, gain confidence in your creative process, and expand your relationship with your artwork.
Every month, new "Members-Only" content is delivered in weekly segments to enhance and inspire your practice without overwhelming or distracting you from your artwork. In addition to monthly content, there is a private (non-social media) Artist Community for members to connect, ask questions, and support one another.
By surrounding yourself with a like-minded community of committed creatives, you will experience a transformation in how you approach your artwork. You will gain a newfound sense of confidence, purpose, and artistic direction that will take you toward creating the art you've always wanted to make.
“The recognition of abundance fills us with hope that our brightest ideas still await us and our greatest work is yet to come.”
WHAT TO EXPECT EACH MONTH
In case you're wondering what will be offered monthly, below is an example. Creative themes and lessons will change monthly to get you thinking and, most importantly, creating.
MONTHLY THEME
CREATIVE LESSON: Pre-recorded and not to exceed 60 minutes - the lesson aims to get you thinking, working, reflecting, and spending time with the ideas introduced. I encourage you to follow your heart and take whatever you need from the lesson to move closer to your art.
ART SCHOOL: To satisfy our thirst for knowledge. It will be anything from studying the Old Masters, Art History, Art Supplies, and Art Techniques. I anticipate this being so much fun!! Who doesn't want to go back to art school??
ONE MONTHLY LIVE SESSION (via Zoom): Depending on how I plan the creative lesson, there will be one of two types of sessions. It could be a group mentoring session where we discuss art, obstacles we faced during the month, and other related topics—OR, COFFEE & ART (via Zoom). Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and whatever you want to work on, and for one hour, we can chat and play! It's time just for you.
PRIVATE COMMUNITY: The community is not part of social media. It will be a space to share your work, ask questions, and connect with other artists. I will be present in the community three days a week.
FEATURED MEMBERS: One member will be featured to share the creative space, sketchbook, or art they've been working on. Details will be provided to those interested, and they can submit a 10-15 minute video to share with the group.
