"Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use – do the work you want to see done." ~ Austin Kleon

​Long ago, as a teenager, I dreamed of having a career where I could do everything I loved. Even in my early twenties, I continued to pursue my love of the arts and their many forms. In fact, my first degree was a BFA multidisciplinary because I enjoyed it all. But people seem uncomfortable with individuals they can't put in a box, so I went back to school and became an art teacher. I love teaching art; however, after a few years, I got itchy feet. I tried teaching at different schools and in other parts of the world, but I needed more than travel to solve my problem. What I needed was a diversity of work and subjects. So when the world hit the pause button, I realised it was time to put my dream into play. A long-time writer of stories, I began my business ghostwriting and editing for others. Then I added teaching English, history, geography, piano, singing, and illustration. And finally, I felt my feet grow still and sighed with relief.

Teaching and coaching others has been the most rewarding part of my career. Watching students and clients soar to new heights is a privilege and something that I am supremely grateful for.

So if you are looking for support in developing your voice and/or style in whatever artistic field you find yourself in, I'm here. Let's make you shine. ​
