Meet our Founder

Roxanne Vise
Founder & CEEO
(Chief Encouragement & Empowerment Officer)

Hi, I’m Roxanne and I’m so glad that you’re here! I’ve helped many fine artists launch careers, publish books, create workshops, open gallery spaces, receive national magazine editorial and museum exhibitions, secure a PBS special and achieve international success. I help artists build a successful business while sustaining their creativity and holistic lifestyle.

There’s lots more, but what matters here is YOU and how I can best gather my resources, knowledge and experience to help you connect with the tools, support, lessons and community that you need to thrive.

The seed of this site began as an artist+mom blog in 2007 and is my expanding vision of creating a learning center and supportive community for artists who are emerging, working and professional.

This is what you see developing in this space. I hope you’ll stay and be a part of it.
