Why focus on drawing?
Successful artists understand that their artwork will only be as good as their drawing. If you want to create incredible oil paintings, watercolors, acrylics or anything else, it will ALWAYS start with a solid drawing foundation.
It's time to stop feeling unhappy with your art — and yourself as an artist.
Stop...
- Struggling with self-doubt and a lack of confidence.
- Feeling lost, overwhelmed and unsupported.
- Wondering if you'll ever be able to create amazing art.
- Wasting time and getting no where.
Start...
- Finding joy and confidence in creating.
- Experiencing clarity, structure and direction.
- Being challenged and held accountable to succeed.
- Realizing incredible growth in your skill set.
Join Happy Artist to go from frozen to fearless, discouraged to determined, and unhappy to elated in your drawing skills.
Hi, I'm Susie.
I've always loved art, but it hasn't always been easy for me. . .
I love art, but I love people even more.
Now, after almost 10 years of seeing my students become the confident, skilled, and independent artists I knew they could be, I realized no other art school did what I was doing. My students were getting real results and reaching life-long goals.
It was clear to me that there was a hole in the art education space.
From impersonal online courses to haphazard and directionless community art programs, I knew we were missing something big in the art education space.
I even mentored art students with advanced art degrees because they STILL felt inferior in their creative skills despite their long years of education.
I came to realize that the current art education world was missing 3 important things:
- A balanced focus on both the artist AND their art to increase optimism and their identity as an artist
- An emphasis on foundational drawing skills that challenged artists and expanded their vision of what was possible
- Motivation and recognition of achievement so that artists would stay accountable to their goals
I built Happy Artist for YOU.
Join an authentic & relatable art community and group coaching program where I bring my 25+ years of art mentorship expertise to the table in an easy-going yet purposeful way.
