You’ve been painting for a while now. Maybe even dreaming about going full-time or growing your art into something more serious — something bigger.

You’ve taken workshops, watched countless YouTube videos, and tried to piece together your next step. But it feels like nothing fits together quite right. It’s a solo journey.

I get it, because I’ve been exactly where you are.

After retiring early from teaching art, I wanted painting to be my next chapter. I had the passion, the vision — but no real roadmap. Just trial and error, and a lot of second-guessing.

What finally changed everything?


community of artists on the same path.
A place where I could ask questions, get feedback, compare notes, and gain real momentum.

The Dreamer is a starting point. It’s where you are before you enter the Confident Artist Studio.

Your first stage is the Builder, where you learn how to develop a process for planning a painting before you pick up your brush.

You’ll get monthly how-to video lessons for each stage of a sustainable, proven process for composing and creating paintings that shine and develop your style and voice.

  • You’ll get feedback on the paintings in monthly community zoom sessions, and anytime chat in the Community to get you past your roadblocks in between sessions.

  • It’s a fast track to developing your painting abilities, with friends!

That’s why I created The Confident Artist Studio — and why I’m so excited you’re here!
