Are you ready to create a serious body of work?
Would you like help navigating the move from class (or workshop) assignments to creating a personal body of work?
Do you want the satisfaction of finding your personal voice and expressing it in a series?
Creating a cohesive series requires so much more than just putting brush to canvas or pencil to paper. Among other things, it requires intention, focus, purpose and clarity. A good coach and mentor can be an invaluable partner to artists in this process.
In addition to actually creating the work (which is no small task), artist’s mind management is an essential component of creativity.
This involves managing self-doubt, fear, procrastination, distractions and indecision.
I have also found that many artists benefit from additional support with perseverance, confidence, motivation, courage and self-esteem. This can be difficult to manage on your own.
A good coach and mentor can help artists navigate through the mental perils as well as the creative process en route to their true creative purpose.
As the coach/mentor of ELEVATE, I will offer ideas, suggestions, support and guidance to help empower and motivate artists toward inspired action and increased productivity.
“All of these improved: habits, mindset, confidence, productivity, how I see myself, and setting boundaries so that I protect the time I need to work.”

“I...knew that David would be the right person to lead me...”
"I was very engaged as an artist but had never created a series... I have now begun a series which has taken me to creating without a model and to more emotional content. It was freeing to get away from drawing from the model and [begin] drawing from my imagination."
