You can do it. I can help.
I’m Shannon, a writer-turned-artist, I worked in marketing for many years before I finally followed my obsession with art.
I held back because of fear of failure. I went for the things that were easier for me. It took ages to really get serious about making art - and then, to figure out how to align my art and make it into a business.
But I did it. I’m painting, showing and selling my art - and I realized my skills from my past life can really help others. So I got certified as a life coach - first to help myself - and now I want to pass on what I have learned to help artists find abundance in their careers - and their lives.
If you are struggling with a creative block, if you want to dig deeper into developing a new body of work and connect it to your business mission, or want to learn business skills, create a website, or learn how to set better goals, my coaching program for artists, Metaphor Mindset Studio, offers practical help for magical artists in business.
You don’t have to be a techie
to be a successful artist.
It can be as simple as
Believing in your own work
Believing in yourself, and
Believing in the power of ART to change lives.
That’s it!
But we get distracted by what’s out there, and by our own brains.
I’ll teach you how to work with that - so you can keep your dreams on track.

What if I’m just not ready yet?
Believe me - I GET it. There are So many options, classes and programs out there.
But how many are custom-made just for artists that are ready to create a business from their creative practice? Only a few.
And I have studied many of them, and what I offer just what you need. I came into art & business later in life after a career as a writer, teacher, marketer, and leadership group moderator, I bring years of experience to this venture. I also finally realized that coaching is what I’m good at - and I LOVE it! So I want you to feel totally comfortable knowing you are in good hands with a seasoned leader, coach, teacher, and compassionate, dedicated artist, just like you.
Is it WORTH it?
I’m not a rich artist … yet!
The first time I invested in REAL coaching (it was WAAY more expensive than Metaphor Mindset Studio), I was petrified! What if this didn’t work? What if I spent all that money and FAILED?
But I didn’t.
Within a few months of learning how my mindset was holding me back, and applying what I was learning - I started making real progress with my art sales, shows, and my coaching business. It was SO exhilarating - and I want that for you! I want that for all my artist friends and fellow creative entrepreneurs who have some serious, well-founded fears and trepidations around this kind of thing. But take it from someone who has been through the ringer - IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. And I will do my best to make this a fabulous experience for you and help you get you where you want to go.
