Work with The Artist's Concierge
Whether you're a seasoned artists of many decades, or you're embarking on a new career as an artist, each of us seeks, essentially, the same one thing: comfort.
It's not necessarily authenticity we're craving, that's actually a product of being comfortable and fluent in what you do. I know this to be true from decades of working alongside many artists and across many disciplines.
Working with me opens up possibilities.
I help to provide you a deeper knowledge of your internal strengths and how to use them in the external world of marketing, giving you permissions, enhancing your skills and vocabulary, and resulting in a fluency to express your most authentic self. I have seen artists emerge more connected to their art and community and more courageous as a result of the awakenings they have experienced through my programs.
