Introducing the Art in Action Mentorship!
Years ago, when I decided to become a full time artist I completely failed. I had no guidance and just wasn’t ready. I ended up taking the dreadful J-O-B and felt I would never succeed as an artist. Ironically, it was through my job that I finally figured out how to bring art and science together in a way that created real change. My first large-scale collaborative art project, 9 years ago, was integral to banning single-use plastic bags in our county. A year after that, I left my job for good and have been a successful artist ever since.
For so long, I wanted a mentor to help me figure out my path as an artist. But that path wasn’t for me. Instead, I worked through collaborative art project after collaborative art project, working with thousands of individuals, schools, organizations, and government. Each project was new and different, but the methodology remained the same.
I created my own map.
Today, I facilitate powerful collaborative art projects that catalyze real environmental and social change.
Recently, one of my collaborative Art in Action projects contributed to the passing of a climate mitigation plan in my county AND a resolution stating we are in a Climate Emergency.
That map I made? I am ready to share it with other Artists and Change Makers. Why? Because the world needs you to take action NOW!
It is time to step into your
Creative Power.
You have the power to say YES! to your calling and LEAD the change the world needs so desperately right now.
I know it feels overwhelming and impossible and that there just isn’t enough TIME!
How do I know?
Because over the past year, I’ve heard from artists all over the world.
You have this amazing idea, but you just don’t have the TIME to make it happen.
You know your art is amazing, but you just don’t know where to BEGIN or maybe you don’t know how to communicate it!
You have a big vision, but you feel isolated and don’t have the collaborators and partners you need to carry it out.
You want to help, but the issues are just too big and thinking about them is overwhelming, so you don’t do anything.
You’re ready to go, but you don’t have the FUNDING you need!
I am here to help you, my fellow Artists and Change Makers, connect with your calling so that you can make the biggest impact possible.
I am opening the doors, and you are Invited!

Creation of Your Own Art in Action Project!
How we set you up for SUCCESS
This program is highly individualized.
We will start by assessing where you are. We’ll look at your goals and dreams and what is possible where you live, work, and play. From there, we will create a plan of action specifically for you.
We will grow together.
Each session will build on the one before and will include a focus on your own transformation as an artist and change maker.
You will complete your own Art in Action Project!
By the end of the program you will have completed your own Climate Art in Action Project.* You will have everything you need to take widespread climate action with collaborative art, AND the confidence to carry it out.
You don’t have to do this alone!
I made the map, and I am ready to share it with you so you don’t have to! Why? Because the world needs your genius now.
We will celebrate you!
Why do all the work if you don’t take time to celebrate your wins? Part of the journey towards success is pausing and celebrating our accomplishments. We all need a cheerleader every now and again!
