I'M IN!
Loved the option to be a “Works Member;” too many tools to name that have assisted in my studio practice.

During my time as a Works Member I have learned what it is like to be an artist. I don’t know any artists well. I love “overhearing” these conversations and feel bonds and commonality even though I’m working alone.

Writing an artist feature

I am a painter with an active studio practice and gallery representation. You may know me from the podcast, I Like Your Work which I created and currently host. We also curate open calls and exhibitions. On top of this I’m a mom to three so I understand the need for time management. I received my MFA from Boston University, spent three years in NYC working as a studio assistant to amazing artists, and then worked in art admissions reviewing artwork. I co-founded MUSA Collective, an artist collective in Boston, MA because I realized how crucial community for artists really is. I love artists. I love being one, I love talking to fellow artists and I genuinely want others to succeed which is why I started this membership.

For monthly members, the membership is designed to have each lesson build on the previous one, so for each month you will receive four lessons. This allows you time to work on the lesson at hand and achieve your goal. Remember it is implementing the GOAL that moves you forward. 

What if I want to skip ahead?

If you purchase the annual membership, you will have access to all of the lessons at once. However, we have carefully designed the curriculum to drip out at a pace that allows you to absorb the material and take action. Even though it may feel like going faster is better, our experience has shown that our members get the best results when they go one step at a time. 

 

Please ensure your commitment before enrolling– We do not offer refunds for any of our memberships. Annual members enjoy unrestricted access to the lessons all at once and for this reason we cannot offer partial refunds. With the monthly membership you can cancel at any time. Be sure to cancel before you are charged for the next month.
