Although I've been a practicing artist for over 22 years and had the honor of seeing my work exhibited and collected internationally, it wasn't always this way!

Before things started to happen for me, I knew I wanted to make art more than anything else in the world, yet I suffered from enormous self-doubts and questioned my work constantly. I knew I wanted to make art my life but had no idea how to approach an art career. I had an infrequent and haphazard approach to sending my work out. Often I neglected to follow through on exhibition deadlines or requests from galleries to see my work again.

Every time I got a rejection letter I felt crushed. I didn't have anyone I further along on the path to turn to for help or advice, so I read every book and took every class on being an artist that I could find. There were plenty of useful suggestions, but I felt overwhelmed about where to even start.

It wasn't until I gradually began to fuse what I had been learning from my decades of meditation, spiritual and personal growth work with the nuts and bolts stuff that things really started to click. I started feeling better and stronger about my work, less affected by rejection. I was invited to be in more shows. I got accepted into graduate school and residencies and galleries started to seek me out, rather than the other way around.

I'd like to share with you some of the key things that helped me make this transformation.

Your gifts are important and vital to this world and deserve to be shared and celebrated. We are at time in our history where the creative force is needed as never before.

Your art deserves the nurturing necessary to see fruition.

And you deserve to live a happy and fulfilled life doing what you love.

During the Artist Mentorship program, my sense of self expanded considerably. My greatest success was establishing my own measurements of what success means, what an artist is, and then to start living them.

This program is authentic, inspired and rigorous. It's very design catalyzes growth. I went from working irregularly, with minimal output, to working daily, completing projects that had been "works-in-progress" for years. Moreover, the daily practice not only improved my technical skills, but also deepened my creativity.

The program guides artists on how to anticipate and recognize the trials surrounding art making as being fuel for further and deeper success. What might be thought of or dealt with as an obstacle or deterrent, I was able to re-script through Michele's teachings. I'm speaking of everything from how to market one's self, to how to get a certain effect with acrylics; Michele's knowledge is applicable and nurturing.

Further, the community component of the program is an extremely effective means of gaining a diverse and candid support/ critique group. Inspiration and excitement flourish on the group forum.

When I started the program I felt that I wasn't doing art AT ALL. I now have what I consider a regular practice, I feel more confident and more appreciated. And more generous! I am much less panicky and self-recriminative, and I recognize my own process. I have discovered a clarity and thread to my work I had not recognized before. I have been getting praise and support on my work from unexpected sources. Shocking! Unfamiliar! Wonderful! I also recognize who I am as a helper, teacher, friend, in a much less competitive way.

I feel that this program has been extraordinary. I am amazed at the quantity, quality and type of information that Michele has shared with us. I find myself constantly repeating her tips to other artists and writers that I know.

Michele Théberge's crystal clear vision of the artist's life shed a full spectrum light on my quest to become a more productive artist and an engaged member of my local community of artists. I am now on that road full-time.

The program introduced me to new perspectives that helped me create more work with less distraction and a better sense of satisfaction.

Michele's on the spot responses to real issues, that I and/or other members of the group were facing, were wise and comforting, making an indelible personal impression. I find myself daily referring to what I learned from her.

Most importantly, Michele's strong and gentle presence inhabits every aspect of the Artist Mentorship program. I can't praise enough her thorough attention to detail in setting up the technical aspects of the program and in the preparation of the information shared. Beyond that, Michele's generosity in wanting to share all that she has learned on her own path is truly remarkable.
