Our deepest art 
​is waiting to be created

​Making art is my spiritual practice. I love the journey into my imagination, into that liminal space between the real and imaginary, rich with meaning for myself that then expands into the universal human experience. I delight in the mystery of creative flow, having no idea what I am making or what will emerge. 

And yet it is fraught with anxiety, procrastination, self doubt, busyness, laziness and the very real truth that my energy and time are limited. My life is rich with relationships and career, and those are as important to me as my personal artistic journey. It is too easy to set  creativity aside.

I've had to learn how to overcome resistance to diving into the creative moment. I've needed support staying there, and figuring out how to balance intention and intuition, skill and freedom. The creative process is complex and there have been times when I wanted to be rid of the urge to create. That nagging presence at times feels like a curse. Support has been essential to progressing my art and being able to dive ever deeper into my own art.

From the very beginning I felt called to help others on the creative journey. I have my MA in Art Education and I am a Certified Expressive Arts Practitioner. I've experienced the healing, the creation of meaning, and the depth of experience that the arts have to offer us. Sharing what I've learned in order to help others have a rich experience of their own creativity is one of my passions.

Helping others on their creative journey means creating different structures to enable them to enter the creative process. Sometimes it means free workshops like Dive Into Blue, where you can explore the beauty and personal meanings of a single color. Or my blog where I talk about the challenges of the creative life.

Deeper work requires more support, like my 4 month coaching program to help you start a body of work and support you through all of the "stuff" that comes up when you push yourselves to make your life's work. This supportive and compassionate coaching program is designed to elevate your artistic journey to new heights. We'll troubleshoot perfectionism and creative blockages – I'm here to be your dedicated supporter, guiding you through every step of the way. The creative process is intricate, and my approach acts as the much-needed grease for your artistic cogs, ensuring smooth progress and breakthroughs.

The creative life is fraught with pitfalls like feeling stuck, grappling with self-doubt, or being held back by negative thoughts. Creativity coaching is tailored to address these challenges head-on. Perhaps you've wasted months, even years ruminating on negative thoughts that steal all of the joy out of your practice or that have kept you out of the studio altogether. It is painful to contemplate a life lived without engaging our deepest creative yearnings.

I understand the complexities of the creative mind and I provide the support you deserve so you can unleash your deepest artistic expression. Whether you're yearning to bring forth your untold stories, dive into learning a new medium, change styles, or unlock undiscovered potentials, my program is designed just for you.

As someone who has navigated the relentless urge to create while tending to life's responsibilities, challenges, and health issues, I bring a wealth of experience  and insights to empower you on your path. I am so passionate about this and I believe in your artistic destiny, wherever you find yourself on the path. Join me and let's embark on this empowering journey together.

"The biggest aspect of change that occurred for me was being able to let go of a lot of unhelpful feelings and thoughts about doing art and my identity as an artist. The sense of freedom that emerged through the coaching process was wonderful, and opened up new directions to take my art practice."
​-Karen Miller
