The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship is for artists ready to FULLY BE the artist they are called to be.

What Is The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship?

The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship is a 3 months, online immersion for artists that are yearning for more depth, meaning, and magic in their creative practice.

Maybe it's a series of paintings you can't stop thinking about...or a new idea you're eager to explore... or maybe simply the thought of committing yourself to 3 months of Artist Soul nourishment makes all the cells in your body sizzle with delight.

Whatever creative project, dream, or desire is calling you -- the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship will take you on a journey through the deeper currents of your creativity where you will shed limiting beliefs that bind your Artist Soul and discover the wisdom that lives within your, unique mark-making and creative practice.

YOU WILL RECEIVE...

Twelve weekly Zoom calls containing a transformative discussion and content designed to awaken and nourish your Artist Soul. Plus there will be time for creative exercises, a check-in, and Q&A.. Each call is held on Tuesday for 2.5 hours, recorded, and yours to keep.
Additional PDF's, audios, and videos sprinkled throughout the week to support your practice.
Individualized feedback, support, and guidance tailored to the body-of-work you are creating.
Weekly accountability to post what you are working on.
Periodic co-working painting sessions where we will gather to paint and work together virtually.
Membership to the private Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship classroom where you can share and be inspired by your peers. Each artist will be given a "digital portfolio" in the classroom to keep track of your practice easily.
The pure joy of belonging to a community of diverse FEARLESS® Painters.
Discounts on all Paint FEARLESS® retreats and the IGNITE Teacher Training for the following year.
A Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship collectible apron.

YOU WILL FOCUS ON HOW TO...

IDENTIFY and EMBODY your unique visual language. You will leave the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship knowing to-the-bone who you are as an artist with a renewed sense of confidence in what makes your art unique. Through the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship you will discover how your creative practice supports, guides, and braids itself in your life continuously.
DEEPEN your studio practice with care. In the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship you will create a body-of-work that helps you identify the intricacies of your creative process and establish a practice that is fully in alignment with your unique creative rhythms, interests, cycles, energy levels, and life circumstances while growing your skills as an artist.
STRENGTHEN your connection to your inner guidance (aka your Artist Soul). The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship will help you make friends with resistance and fear, approach your practice with more kindness, take creative risks with gusto, and trust your Artist Soul like nobody's business!
OWN your voice and style as an Artist. Instead of going on a mad-hunt for your voice and style, in the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship you will create space for YOUR style and voice to become more robust and evident with each piece you create.
Fully and fearlessly EXPRESS yourself creatively. The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship will help you drop the overbearing woulds, coulds, and shoulds of perfectionism, heal and protect your practice from harsh self criticism and comparison, and most of all: help you embrace being fully YOU as an artist.

IN THE PAINT FEARLESS® MENTORSHIP

The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship is for artists yearning for more depth, meaning, and magic in their creative practice.

How The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship Works...

There are 12 live Zoom calls where we will gather in small groups (limited to 10 artists) to discuss the weeks topic, check-in with how you are doing, work through creative exercises, and have time for Q&A. These calls are approximately 2.5 hours long each and are recorded. When you register you get to choose joining one of the small Zoom groups: Tuesdays at 9 AM PST or Tuesdays at 4 PM PST.
You will be guided to create a body-of-work during the 3 months we are together by following your intuition, creative interests, and curiosity. I will NOT be teaching painting techniques or steps on how to paint like myself during this Mentorship. Instead you will receive the structure, support, accountability, and guidance for you to fully make your own creative decisions, trust your inner guidance, challenge yourself artistically, and express yourself fearlessly.
At the end of the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship you will post your work in an online exhibition I lovingly call a Vision. Together we we will celebrate and honor the body-of-work you created during your mentorship.

HERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

Is it mandatory that I attend the weekly Zoom calls?

How much work can I expect each week?

The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship is designed to meet each artist exactly where they are in their artistic journey and life circumstances. Each artist's experience with the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship will look and feel different. Though, here are a few things you can expect around the workload:

Every Tuesday is a live Zoom call that will last 2.5 hours. Expect to add some time before hand to prepare and get yourself settled in.
Expect to spend approximately 1 to 2mhours per week completing the reflection and homework invitations presented in the Zoom call.
The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship is designed for you to spend more time in the studio and less time online. Each week you will need to tend to your own creative practice. The amount of time you spend on this will depend on your unique creative process and life circumstances. In the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship we focus on creating a long-term sustainable practice, so there is attention placed upon not overextending yourself and being aware of habits and behaviors that can lead to creative burn-out.
Depending on your level of comfortability and interest, expect to spend anywhere between 15 minutes to a few hours sharing and communicating in the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship classroom each week. Having a nourishing, supportive community is essential to being an artist, but in the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship we will enforce creating strong, healthy boundaries around how you commune with the online community and online art world in general.

Do I need previous art experience or training?

To participate in the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship it is highly recommended that you have at least one to two years of creative practice under your apron. To fully receive all the benefits and magic of this mentorship you must be comfortable, or at least eager, to work more independently as an artist.

Formal training in the arts is NOT required.

The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship is NOT a class. This is a mentorship where I will provide guidance, support, encouragement, and accountability -- as well as an intimate, personal look at my own process as well.

What type of technology do I need?

A computer or mobile device with connection to the internet. A high-speed connection will help reduce possible frustration.
A working email account that you are familiar using.
A free Zoom account and a webcam that you use to connect to Zoom.
A free membership to my Paint Wisdom Studio hosted on Mighty Networks.
All videos in the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship are hosted on Vimeo and are best supported by the up-to-date version of the following browsers: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, & Internet Explorer.
You need to be comfortable with basic technology skills – primarily accessing videos, taking photos of your work, and posting your photos to the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship classroom.

How does the PF Mentorship differ from the PF retreats?

How does the PF Mentorship differ from IGNITE?

The Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship is a three-months, online immersion that will take you on a journey through the deeper currents of your creativity, help you shed limiting beliefs that bind your Artist Soul, and guide you in discovering the wisdom that lives within your, unique mark-making and creative practice.

Basically the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship is designed to help you BE the artist you are here to be.

The IGNITE Teacher Training does touch upon many of the same concepts we explore in the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship but only through the lens of how to teach your creative process, skills, and greatness as an artist to others. Our focus in IGNITE is on how to identify and teach your creative process to others.

What if I have no idea what I want to create/paint?

What if I struggle with calling myself an artist -- can I still join?

Before joining the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship what is most important is that you feel a true desire to strengthen your creative practice and create art that reflects your own voice, style, and interests. You do NOT need to know what your style or voice is before joining the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship. Nor do you need to identify yourself as an artist as well.

Though, I'll warn you, the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship will have you thinking and feeling different once we are done! ❤️

In the Paint FEARLESS® Mentorship you will gently make friends with resistance and fear.
