Investing in Myself

As some of you know, I started June off  by attending a 2-day Art Biz Mastermind Workshop in Lancaster, PA with one of my favorite people, Art Biz Coach Alyson Stanfield. Alyson's workshops provide me with the opportunity to invest in myself.

We were matching Alyson (far right)… very colorful.

The Art Biz Mastermind Workshop is intended to help artists focus on and plan the "business" of our art. Alyson's wisdom and feedback are invaluable as we examine what we do to support the business aspects of being artists. Collectively, we share our experiences and support one another to contemplate and explore new possibilities for ourselves. We also share our own best practices and, in the end, finalize a plan for ourselves. The guidance I receive from other artists and Alyson is invaluable to me as I work to grow as an artist. And we enjoy one another too!

The whole group!

I met so many awesome artists in person.

I always doodle during workshops. It keeps me focused. Music always emerges in my doodles.

Dinner with friends.

Creating art is intuitive for me. 

Engaging in the business of art is something I need support and guidance to accomplish. I am grateful for these re-focusing and planning opportunities!

And, it is always wonderful to spend time with Alyson Stanfield.
