Introducing

The Whole Artist Mastery Community

Fostering connection & confidence among artists seeking to practice “whole art”

Have you participated in one of the Whole Artist Mastery (WAM) mentorship programs or courses or watched the YouTube Channel? Then you’re already familiar with the foundations of WAM and the connection between deep inner exploration, strong technical facility and compelling work.

Are you new to us?

Welcome! We’re glad you’re here, and we invite you to join us on the path towards finding your artistic voice, making compelling art and becoming the artist you’re meant to be - a Whole Artist.

Art making is a rather solitary practice, and although many of us value solitude, we also want the fellowship of other artists which can fuel our artistic expression and expose us to new skills and ways of thinking about our art and our practice.

The Whole Artist Mastery Community is an online members-only forum designed specifically to offer learning opportunities for your curious mind, and foster ongoing camaraderie and encouragement in a safe, supportive environment.

I just want to let you and Marianne know how much the membership means to me! Probably the best art investment I’ve made even if I continue to let my art act merely as therapy or hobby in my life; Marianne is brilliant; I so enjoy her thoughts about art.

Kind words from the Community

  • I love listening to you discuss your current works and have learned a great deal about technique,process, perspective, perseverance, and much more!

  • Thank you for your generosity, and vulnerability sharing your process with the painting "Collaboration". You are a huge inspiration to me on so many levels!

    I am still finding it difficult to "speak up" at the meetings, but I do want you to know I found the entire series on nature and visual language very nourishing!

  • Loved the conversation with the featured artists.  I am so into reckless abandon.  This is the way I actually started painting in 2020.  And then I questioned myself, and then I listened to artists like Laura Horn, Joan Fullerton, Bob Burridge and got out of my left brain.  And now I have discovered your beauty of mind and soul and art and I am very grateful.  

  • WAM Wednesday talks alone are worth the price of admission for a WAM membership! Some weeks Marianne explores thought provoking topics as they relate to art and art making and the ensuing group conversation is always intriguing. Other weeks members share what they’re working on or ideas they’re pursuing. It's a huge benefit to hear everyone talk about their own successes and struggles and hear the encouragement and feedback from others in the group. I’m constantly amazed by the originality and quality of the work coming out of WAM artists!

  • As I've been unable to attend the WAM Wednesday meetings live, I wanted to send you a note to say thank you.  The "truth" topic was especially thought provoking and so relevant to our time right now.....and as you know living my truth and being authentic are essential to my being.
