Hey there, I'm Bonnie.
For the past 10 years I’ve been a leader in the industry working intimately alongside artists and creative entrepreneurs. I've learned about each in tremendous depth, and know exactly what they both need.
I learned how to become an artist and turned creativity into a career over a decade ago, and I’ve helped thousands of others do the same.
Creativity is calling, my friend.
“All the speakers were amazing, and I can not believe that Bonnie open her files and share with us her process and workflow, that was an amazing experience for me.” - Ilda
“The encouragement from this community keeps me inspired to continue chasing my dreams. You pick the most amazing inspired people to surround yourself with that just build each other up. It is so refreshing during this day and age." - Melissa
“I didn't even realize how much my heart was craving this creative inspiration. The entire event was outstanding from start to finish, but the Open Studio night was so emotionally moving for me. I finally felt inspired again, and was able to reconnect to my creativity in a way that I had really been missing. Thank you so much for providing the space for that kind of inspiration to unfold." - Sarah
