Searching For Your Unique Artistic Expression?

“I've been yearning to create art for a long time and how to start is proving difficult.”

“I want to loosen up my expression and make artwork that's more abstract.”

“I'd like to have a signature artist voice and be confident about my artwork.”

“I’m looking for guidance to go to the next level as a practicing professional artist.”

You have company!

The one-on-one attention and cohesive in-depth study of an Individual Program allows you to successfully achieve:

  • Depth of expression that defines your voice

  • Mastery of technical skill to convey your unique spirit

  • Confidence needed to stand strong in your artistic identity

Your Artist Mentor - Marianne Mitchell

Embracing my accomplishments as a female abstract artist has been hard won amidst the highly competitive atmosphere of art school and the art world.

Knowing what questions to ask:

  • What do I want to express in my work? How do I convey that?

  • What medium best expresses my idea and suits my artist voice?

  • Is my painting finished?

  • Is it good?

And having answers about who I am as an artist and how to make good paintings came from years of personal searching, fueled by inherent determination.

 

A 45 minute conversation focused on what your goals are and how an individual Whole Artist Mastery program can help you achieve your artistic aspirations.

 

Having been painting for 30+ years, I can confidently say “I know what my work is about, I know this painting is good, and here’s why” and I can analyze why a painting is missing something and has miles to go before it’s “there.” 

I know to savor the ephemeral euphoria of success and to be patient with the disappointment of rejection. 

I recognize that knowing all of this has built a platform of authenticity upon which I stand confidently as a Whole Artist.

I believe an authentic voice paired with technical mastery fuels the confidence to go where you want to go as an artist.

  • Marianne has a keen sense and an ability to see what's behind the image and inside the person.  She asks the questions that not too many have answered for themselves before. Few art instructors go beyond the image and above the usual visual concerns.

    Richard Morgenthal, Retired business owner, Artist Mastery FOCUS and IMMERSION participant, North Adams, MA

  • You are truly an incredible person. In my experience, there are few artists who combine an artistic soul with the ability to teach painting techniques, support another artist’s developing vision, and also structure an environment (with engineering precision) so that these developments can occur. You have had a profound impact on my life.

    Sandy Siegel, retired clinical psychologist, Artist Mastery IMMERSION participant, Denver, CO

  • I want to do work I can stand behind, feel good about and not care who likes it and who doesn’t. I’m really excited about my art future and working through a lot of art issues with Marianne, technical and emotional, has given me faith that I will achieve my goals.

    Catherine Musham, retired clinical psychologist, Artist Mastery 2-year IMMERSION participant, Vero Beach, FL

  • I am far more observant today than when I first started working with Marianne.  She taught me how to use "reckless abandonment" to begin a painting and then investigate where that abandonment might lead me.

    Gerrie Grossman, psychologist and painter, Monhegan Artists Retreat, 2012
