  • Dale Chihuly

    “

    Jodie, you’re great. Thanks for everything.

    ”

  • Carol-Anne McFarlane

    “

    I was energized by our session. I’ve done a lot of artist coach webinars and they don’t meet me where I am. You met me where I am and was able to offer a solution for my current need. Thank you for that."

    ”

  • Miguel Edwards

    “Knowing Jodie's experience curating and running art nonprofits, directing commercial galleries and world-class artists make her an invaluable resource to any serious career artists. She gave me options because I want to make art, not all the other stuff. I was able to strategize my next move with confidence. Jodie and her strategies are kick-ass and are my go-to.”

With more than 25 years of experience, I remain committed to building and maintaining platforms for artists to tell their stories.
