Creative mentoring…
I recently started creatively mentoring and have found my sweet spot. I realized how easy and fulfilling it is to teach what you love and know! I would be thrilled to share my knowledge with you and how I specifically approach my art practice. I’ve been helping creative types deepen their practice, launch Etsy shops, reach out to agencies, and more. Sound like your cup of tea? I have limited spots available, so get yours now!
