You’ll leave our session KNOWING what to do AND how to overcome any hurdles that comes up as you move forward towards your goals.
This session is to help you with BOTH the emotional & mindset shifts AND the practical action steps you need to take NOW
I see you going back and forth with whether or not you can BE THE ARTIST you’re called to be.
Only to find yourself spending way too long scrolling social media, feeling sick with jealousy at other artists. Because your self-doubt makes it too hard to actually do what you know you need to do
Or worse, you’re starting to question if there is something wrong about you as an Artist + second guess the value of your art — when you KNOW your art is meant to go out into the world!
I see you get overwhelmed at all the Different ways “to achieve success” while getting exhausted from asking the same questions over and over
How do I find my dream collectors & buyers?
How do I use my time more effectively with marketing & social media so I can get back into the studio?
What am I missing from being able to be SEEN by MY dream clients?
When the truth is, your overwhelm & frustration is coming from asking the wrong questions — and you can’t see that from inside your own head
If I can make art I love, see it in the homes of dream collectors, be primary carer to my babies while being clear on the mindset & actions to take with my limited time & mental space?
You definitely can!
WITHOUT sacrificing your creative voice or feeling icky about selling.
WITHOUT having to follow a “formula’ or “blueprint” that isn’t aligned with your values or season of life (There’s a huge difference between someone who is single, working 9-5 and a mama with 3 babies under 6)
You will get all my, expertise, experience, lessons & resources I have collected to save you the trial & effort + time & money I spent in getting here.
I see you get started only to freak out & back off — spiralling deeper in frustration and doubts about whether you are good enough or if this is even worth the effort.
Your creative work IS worth it!
Your brain just thinks that external validation & permission is needed BEFORE you can take your art seriously.
Which only lets more time pass & more doubts to build up to keep you spinning
I’m here to help you remember YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS + are so much more capable than your inner critic things you are. That you have to give yourself the permission FIRST before you can figure out the path to YOUR success
I’m here for the Artist who is ready to make fear part of your life. It’s never going away because it’s part of our human experience. There IS a way to make it work for you.
Together, we’ll find a way that suits YOU, your art & your current season of life.
You don’t have to keep procrastinating or keep waiting to find the perfect “guaranteed” path (there’s no such thing by the way!)
I see those stories your fear is telling you — that you “need more time”, your art isn’t good enough,
that you need to wait until…*insert those fear excuses here
No more listening to those lies.
Sure, it’s nice to have a luscious big studio space and to have ALL the time in the world to make your art the masterpiece you want it to be.
Sure, it would be magical to only think about colours & fun tools to play with while ‘someone else’ takes care of the selling & money & ‘business stuff’
BUT these stories are blocking your dreams NOW while you wait for perfection.
Those stories came from the days when only white men could make & sell art or were supported by fellow rich white men and “other people” took care of the other things. Like finances & family & laundry! — that’s your own brain GATEKEEPING your success from you!
Those stories are your brain telling you lies to keep you safe & in the familiar feelings of stuck & frustration. It means not risking whatever fear your brain is trying to protect you from. — Lies that if you fail, you’ll lose something you cherish.
You don’t have to follow that narrative
You’re so much more powerful than those lies
Together we’ll cultivate a strategy & art practice that works for you & your season of life.
You’ll have time to do all the ‘business stuff’ or get back into the studio and still be able to take care of your babies at home or that 9-5 job
I’m not promising overnight success here or some magic secret hack to guaranteed success — We’re both wiser than that.
I know your Muse, your art & your inner best self is willing to DO THE WORK without sacrificing your values — YOU know that doing it the way you have been is NO LONGER ENOUGH.
You want to find ease on this journey AND not waste anymore time
Let’s paint a new story
Being a thriving Artist in whatever form that means for you.
Not what your parents, that art teacher or society says it is.
You can still connect to both the creative inspiration as well as the practical strategies, along with the genuine motivation to do it.
No more mis-aligned hustle energy that drains your Muse or means neglecting your family or health
How much time, energy & money are you already wasting? What opportunities are you missing as you keep waiting and being held back by these lies?
It’s time to boldly take that creative dream seriously.
Trust your inner Muse and let’s unravel those fears to find your map to becoming the empowered Artist you know you are
I struggled with having the belief about the calibre of my work and the potential to make it work as a business
What I would say is Back yourself! I feel ten years further down the track just from working on the mindset stuff.
I also have a clearly defined system for how customers go from start to finish. Plus new ideas, new clients & new ways of thinking.
Our work together makes me feel like there are no limits on what I can do!

About Brenda
Brenda began her professional creative life as a graphic designer for one of the biggest greeting card companies in the world, where she nurtured her love of colour and composition. This was also where she gained experience in blending the goals of both creative and business.
However, 4 years into a dream design career, her inner calling to paint could not be silenced.
Leaving her career behind, she had her first solo exhibition in 2011 thanks to raising over $3k for her paintings (she hadn’t even made yet) and boldly launched her new life as a visual artist in full colour.
She finally felt like she was coming HOME to herself. No longer just ticking society’s boxes for success but her soulful purpose in life
Alongside being a full time mama of two young children, she runs her creative business selling original paintings, prints, licensed products and working with dream clients around the world. (She even made over 100+ paintings while breastfeeding a newborn and juggling the life & energy of a pre-schooler)
Now she does it juggling 2 part-time jobs (She LOVES!) as well the full busy schedule of 2 kids at school
Just as her art isn’t complete until it finds it’s forever home, Brenda’s full creative expression isn’t complete without coaching creatives + sharing her experiences & expertise with her fellow Artists.
Helping them find confidence in their artistry and ease in their creative work to achieve the success they want in life & their own art business.
With her background in designing million-dollar product ranges, corporate marketing, being a branding + marketing designer and her living experience as a working visual artist who loves the art of selling —
Brenda LOVES to help her Muse Momentum clients to create thriving lives that weaves their creativity, art business alongside a life that feels like their joyful purpose
