Improve
Your Artistic Mindset Skills
Beyond Technique

If you only ask yourself Technique Questions, guess what kinds of Answers you find?
Change your questions...
From Technique Questions...to Artistic Questions
to begin making enamels that reflect the light that shines from your heart!

Ask Design Questions
Ask Creativity Questions
Ask Expression Questions
Changing your question from..."how to do it?" to "Why do I care?" will lead you in a new direction.

What is keeping you from making the enamel artwork of your dreams?

Here is where I was stuck...

Picture
  • My focus had been on my "technique" questions; what is the "best way" or "how can I make ...?
  • I felt disconnected from my feelings and inner life.
  • I was not aware of how to intentionally use my experience and memories to tell personal enamel narratives.
  • My self-imposed rules of what was "good or bad" or "right or wrong"  limited my creativity.
  • I didn't know how to step out of my "technique" comfort zone.
  • I did not know my WHY? I believed that my WHAT and HOW were enough. But this left me feeling empty and uninspired.
  • I had tons of doubt. Was I "good enough"?

When I changed my questions I changed my life.
You can too!

"How-To" classes may not be enough to help you achieve your dreams.
Technical skills are helpful and important, but there is so much more...

Many classes focus on answering students' Technique Questions:
  • What are the "right answers"?
  • What are the "right ways"?
  • How can I make something that I like NOW?
Unfortunately, there are rarely "right" answers or ways to do anything when making creative artwork.
And when you are learning something new, you will fail. Perhaps many times. Let go of needing to like what you make, and instead begin to love what you are learning!

So while learning new techniques may be helpful and important, there IS something missing...

We use enamel and simple mixed-media materials to develop your new creative and artistic mindset!

It's a Mindset that empowers you to...

  • believe in yourself: you are enough
  • be patient and persistent as you learn
  • give yourself permission to make mistakes and fail
  • challenge yourself to stretch and change
  • connect and embrace your personal point of view
  • ask yourself more, new, and different questions
  • commit to developing your artistic vision and voice

I will help you develop a new mindset...and discover a sense of joy and purpose in your life using your enamel passion and techniques!
