Here's my story
Hey there, if you’re feeling confused, frustrated, and like your dreams are drifting farther away, I want you to know—I’ve got your back.
I’ve been exactly where you are. I used to paint on the floor of a tiny studio apartment while flipping pancakes at IHOP. But after countless hours of research and learning from failure, I documented every step it took to go from invisible and unknown to building an international art career and a thriving six-figure online business.
If I can do it, I know you have what it takes too.
What I’ve learned is this: it all starts with unapologetically believing in and committing to your dreams—then taking simple, actionable steps to make them real.

Yet, a small, persistent voice inside me whispered that I was destined for more—despite how my circumstances tried to convince me otherwise. After years of scraping by, squeezing in art sessions on our tiny apartment floor between odd jobs, a powerful realization dawned.
Remember, you’re not on this journey alone. In 2011, weighed down by debt and facing a bleak future after art school, crying ugly tears became my daily routine. Every job and exhibition I applied for turned me away.
My reality? Serving pancakes just to survive, feeling defeated and deeply frustrated.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO STRUGGLE ALONE
"This course helped me create clear visions of my goals and how to achieve these goals with actionable steps and a great community of support."

"The Artist Navigation Course was incredibly beneficial to my life for a variety of reasons. I learned so much about the practical tools needed to design my own online art program, but Kat also helped so much in the confidence-building aspect. I've had an idea for the past year to design my program, and taking Kat's course enabled me to show up for myself, learn practical/ business tools, and work through my own limiting beliefs that I didn't realize I had. She also helped a lot to soothe some of my studio anxiety. Believing in myself helped me shift my mindset from feeling embarrassed of my art and career dreams to excited and empowered to take the next right to achieve them. Take this course - it's so so beneficial in many different ways!"

If you do the work, apply the mindset tools, best practices, and challenge yourself, you will achieve results.
