Artists that inspire my art and art business

Kellee Wynne Conrad

Such an inspiring artist, both for her art courses and her business coaching. She just happens to be MY art biz coach, the best ever.

Ivy Newport

I have taken almost every one of Ivy’s fabulous online workshops, and one in person too! So over the top inspirational in what she teaches, and how she teaches it.

Laly Mille

Oh my goodness I love the online mixed media classes by this amazing French teacher. I sign up for every one of them, and learn a ton of new techniques EACH time.

Kelly is a shining star for other artists following in her inspiring footsteps. A former social worker turned self-taught artist who is rocking the art world and making the saying “starving artist” obsolete.

Maggie Taylor

Oh my goodness yummy art. Absolutely love Maggies’ work. I took an art class from her years ago in Santa Fe, which forever changed my work.

Donna Downey

Fabulous on-line and in-person workshop instructor, teaching all types of painting and collage classes. I’ve taken everything from color mixing to abstract figures to flower painting from this lovely artist.

Art Coaches

Kellee Wynne Conrad

Out of all the art biz coaches I’ve worked with, Kellee stands hands and shoulders above the rest. She has walked the walk earning 6 figures annually, and knows how to help other artists repeat her success.

Betsy Cordes

This amazing woman gave me the push to quit my day job. She is an amazing business art coach, worth every dime of the investment.

Cory Huff

Cory offers online courses focused on social media for beginning artists, which gave me the courage to jump into Facebook and Instagram.

Books that support my art biz

Big Magic

One of my all time faves on creativity.

Show Your Work

The book that motivated me to jump onto Instagram in 2016, and stay there!

The Artist’s Way

Hands down the most important art book I ever read because it helped me find my voice as an artist after a long draught.

Bird by Bird

One of the first artist inspiration books I ever read, that I still quote today. Love her philosophy that you often have to start creating “shitty” art in order to get to the good stuff.
