What Artists are Saying

"The coaching circle has been a HUGE shot in the arm for me. The feedback and guidance I received from Adele and Heather has brought into focus my particular voice as an artist. The feedback and mutual support of my fellow artists in the circle has also helped validate the direction of my work. I got as much from giving feedback as I did from receiving it. A nice alchemy of teachers and fellow artists."Josee G.
