Artist’s Wingman
Inspirations for navigating the creative life, from making to sharing, selling, and the beautiful business of art.
Best Experienced with Sound On!
SOLITUDE & CONNECTION
Exploring the inner side of creative life with clarity, confidence, resilience, and connection.
Why solitude is a natural part of an artist’s life.
The feelings that surface, and exploring solitude as a valid, necessary state.
Here, attention softens and awareness comes forward.
Noticing what’s there, admiring what has emerged, or catching that first spark of a new idea.
LETTING YOUR ART GO
Trust in the process. Trust in timing. And trust in the quiet shifts that happen while we’re still creating.
“Paint like you’re dancing in the rain.
Don’t think. Just do.”
Having a place to come back to matters. A place that steadies us after sharing our work, being busy, or spending long stretches creating alone.
Solitude feeds the work and, at times, touches the people closest to us.
The line between devotion to our craft and care for those we love, where absence can be felt, solitude misunderstood, and balance finding its way.
Where inspiration begins. Noticing what calls to you.
Honoring completion, the recognition of having stayed, finished, and to let what you’ve created exist beyond you.
Sharing creative work, the hope for connection, responses, and the deep investment artists carry into what they make.
INTO THE WILD
Before being seen, selling, or sharing our work, we return to what feeds it.
Where inspiration begins. What follows us home. How artists carry what they notice into the work they make.
Recognizing when the trail is true.
Trusting the marks and signs along the way.
Noticing what repeats and stands out.
Recognizing patterns worth paying attention to.
THE LIGHTHOUSE
Before being seen, selling, or sharing our work, we return to what feeds it.
These are beacons for recognizing and navigating creative direction
GALLERY OF ARTISTS
A glimpse of what will be inside:
Wander!
A Gallery of Artists will include a visual, narrated gallery,
A gathering of artists whose work has shaped how we appreciate art. Some are widely known. Some are less recognized. Some are deeply personal.
What they share is presence.
Each artist appears on their own, through examples of their work, relevant stories, and a bit of context.
There are far more artists than any gallery can hold. Here we touch on just a few.
Enjoy recognizing a few familiar names or meeting someone new.
JOY OF MAKING
A glimpse of what will be inside:
There is a particular kind of happiness that comes from making something with your hands, your attention, and your time.
When materials meet curiosity. When hours happily slip by.
This joy lives in small moments, the rhythm of the work, the pleasure of returning, the satisfaction of being absorbed in the act itself.
It’s familiar.
It’s generous.
And it’s waiting right where you left it.
Let’s celebrate joy.

COURAGE TO DREAM
A glimpse of what will be inside:
We must reclaim the right to dream. For many creative people, dreaming was discouraged early on.
Labeled unrealistic, impractical, or something to grow out of.
Here we open the doors to that freedom.
CLARITY WITHOUT APOLOGY
A glimpse of what will be inside:
Clarity arrives when you’ve lived long enough to trust yourself. It shows up as grounded decisions. A steady voice.
A sense of direction that no longer wavers.

OUT IN THE OPEN
A glimpse of what will be inside:
At some point, your creative work asks to be seen.
What happens when work leaves the private space and enters the world, through showing, sharing, selling, and everything in between.
Here, we explore the practical realities, the emotional shifts, and the courage it takes to step forward with what you’ve made.
Standing confidently with your work in the world.
