Work with me

As your mentor and teacher, let me show you how to use the creativity that lives inside all of us so you can find your own silver lining, believe in it and stay present with it. I will help you find freedom, playfulness and joy by slapping down some paint, gluing magazine pages all over a piece of paper, adding some doodling and marks, finding a quote that screams…This is how I feel today!…and calling it good enough. And through that process, find out who you are again.

What my clients are saying:
“My mind gets so many ideas going, I freak out! Working with Consie has helped me to slow the spinning, helped me to stay focused and breathe. It is so rewarding because she makes everyone feel like a real artist, and when I’m working with her the process is so fulfilling. I accomplish something beautiful, I let go of the spinning, and feel focused and calm. Working with her personally, she’s a voice I know I can talk to and hear what I need at any moment. She’s amazing.” -Tracy C.

Here’s what I want you to know:

• That yes, you are creative.
• That we all struggle, but persistence and baby steps work.
• That I have faith in you that you will find that next step.
• That trying something ..anything! …is better than sitting still.
• That it is all a choice.

My goal is to get you to find moments of joy and positivity in your day so that all the chaos around you can be quieted for a little while. It will not go away but figuring out a better, calmer response to it is a start. If we can stay present enough to catch and recognize these moments, learn to celebrate them and capture them through creativity, I believe we can change our lives. Again, it might not be easy, but it is definitely possible!

If you have been curious about:

• Feeding all the parts of yourself…
• Learning tools for speaking up/self-expression…
• Playing and having fun with your creativity…
• Allowing imperfection to flourish…
• Finding ways to take your foot off of the gas…

…then let’s take that leap together! Asking for help is hard AND one of the best things we can do to show ourselves self-compassion. Why try it alone when you can allow me to be a guide on your journey?

What my clients are saying:
“You have to be open to exploring facets of yourself you’ve typically not been comfortable with and you need to accept yourself as a creative person. What prompted me to try this? I’m always looking for new experiences to try and a better way to be in the world. To be more mindful, to explore my feelings with curiosity rather than being reactive. I needed a bit of direction and it’s definitely helpful to have outside input with a different perspective.” -Monica R.

Our time together will give you:

• Permission to play, have fun and find joy.
• Time to explore what creativity means to you.
• Accountability to show up for yourself.
• Tools to nurture and deepen your creativity.
• Projects to help develop your own style of play.
• Ways to express your emotions safely when life throws a curve ball.
• The ability to honor all of the things you want for yourself.

What my clients are saying:
“After years of classes and workshops using other people’s techniques and copying other artist’s styles, I wanted to move forward creating my own vision. I am definitely now starting to create my own work. I have stopped being as critical of my own work as I used to be which gives me confidence to move forward and experiment. I try not to judge myself too harshly. Painting is much less stressful. This has been the best art expenditure I ever made. And, I have made quite a few!” -Joan S.
