Spiral into Spring ꩜
You're in transition, but what are you transitioning towards?
Are you emerging from winter with a new artist statement and need support sharing you next chapter? Are you phasing out of a studio, entering a new one, or changing your relationship to where you make and why altogether? Are you ready to offer a fresh model to how your practice earns and recycles earnings? New project got you up at night and you need a hand in figuring out how it’s leading your vision? Wherever you are in the cycle - transition towards feeling empowered by your emergence.
So, what is this?
The Opening Session of Research Consultations for Artists in Transition is a 90-minute session where we map your current placement and design pathways for sustainable creative practice. This isn't coaching. It's not therapy. It's research-based artist development - treating your practice like the complex ecosystem it actually is.
So, what do we explore?
We look at what's actually working (and what's quietly draining you):
Financial systems → How money moves through your practice, where it gets stuck, what models might fit better than the ones you inherited
Exhibition strategy → Which opportunities build your work vs. which extract from it
Death literacy → Legacy planning, archival thinking, what happens to your practice when you're not here
Sustainable practice → The daily ritual infrastructure that lets you keep making work without burning out
So, who is this for?
For you, if:
You're navigating a pivot and need someone who gets that (life, nor) your artistic practice is not linear
You want to awaken a new set of intentions for your life’s work.
Not for you, if:
You want someone to tell you what to make.
You're not ready to look at the money stuff.
So, how does this work?
The Opening Session is designed as your entry point into deeper work. If you book The Opening (3-month container) within 14 days, your full session cost is credited - making your total investment $1,800-1,850 instead of $2,000. This is an invitation to see if sustained partnership serves your practice.
Free 15-min intro (vibe check where we assess where you are and whether this is the right fit)
$150-250 Opening Session (90 min, sliding scale based on your income)
Full session cost credited toward The Opening if you continue and book within 14 days
So: Pay $150 for session → book The Opening → pay $1,850 more (total $2,000)
Or: Pay $250 for session → book The Opening → pay $1,750 more (total $2,000)
I believe in accessible infrastructure for artists AND sustainable business models for practitioners. That's why the Opening Session uses sliding scale ($150-250 based on your current income) and credits fully toward ongoing work if we continue together. I'm inviting you into partnership that serves us both.
