About Carrie

I know what its like to want all the time in the world for your art, but then when you have some, you end up sitting there in your studio, wondering what to do.
Perhaps you, too, have heard your inner critic whisper,
“Time wasted…”
“Not the right time…”
“Not enough time…”
trying to lure you to believe the lie that someday is better than today.
I am a Mom to a strong, smart 5-year-old, a fur-mom to a doodle that’s more muppet than dog, and currently live in British Columbia, Canada as a proud Canadian immigrant.
When I’m not playing board games with my hubby, I’m baking chocolate chip cookies with tahini (try it!), obsessively reading non-fiction, and making my own art.
Sign up to speak with me so we can create a plan of action to execute together.
What I loved the most was your authentic and honest way of listening to my questions and giving your feedback…I love that you also discuss the emotions and business side of being an artist. I feel that you care and you have helped me to stay focused.
You are amazing and a true gift for all artists!
Thank you Carrie! I have learned so much from you, and the Artist Strong community. Finding you and this group several years ago made all the difference for me to pursue art AND think of myself as an artist, despite the “self-taught” stigma 😉
In just a short amount of time, Carrie has already empowered me with a variety of resources that will impact the sustainability of my business.
