I work with artists, musicians and singers who are looking to move from passion to profession, and finally unlock their true creative potential and share their gift with the world. A lot of times I run into individuals who are very creative and have lots of talent and potential, but they just haven’t been able to harness their creative passion into a financially viable business. And in most cases, the reason is NOT because they're not good or don’t know what they’re doing or anything like that, but because they haven’t made the connection between creative skillset and business mindset, and realize you need BOTH to be successful. In other words, as an artist myself, I have the skillset to be successful. I have the talent to physically produce a piece of work. However, unless I also have the mindset to ask for the business, handle rejection, slearn and grow from the challenges and seek out opportunities, then I’m never going to be able to get to the level of success that I need in order to have a financially viable business. So what I do is take people through a step by step process that is based on my own journey as a business oriented artist that breaks it down into an easily understandable 3 phased approach designed to help you harness your creative passion and talents into a financially viable business. I am a Creative Transformation Coach, Art Business Mentor, Art Therapist and Artist and am writing an e-book and creating a Video Course Born to Create soon to launch, that will be accessible to people around the world and help them harness their creativity and monetize it. As part of my research I am interviewing 100 artists as my focus of interest is in discovering the difference between artists and non-artists, because my belief is that everyone is creative and can access this creativity within them at any time.
