Marketing with CLARITY + Messaging

The heart of my mentoring program is clear: to help you build a solid foundation in drawing and watercolor, empowering you to create and sell art with confidence. I believe that strong fundamentals are the key to unlocking your full potential as an artist.

Through this program, my message is simple: mastering the basics leads to artistic freedom. By focusing on drawing fundamentals, you’ll gain the skills needed to control and express your vision in watercolor. I’m here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring that you understand and apply these principles effectively.

When it comes to selling your art, clarity is crucial. I’ll teach you how to present your work in the best light, both literally and figuratively. From capturing stunning photographs of your pieces to crafting a compelling narrative around your art, I’ll help you develop a clear and consistent message that resonates with your audience.

In all my communication—whether on social media, in my local classes, or through word of mouth—I’ll be reinforcing this core message: strong foundations lead to artistic success. My goal is to make sure that every artist I mentor feels equipped and confident to take their work to the next level.
