A Muse Intensive session with me is where you get SUPPORT to map out a strategic plan specific to YOU & YOUR GOALS.
To know that what you’re doing is ENOUGH and the RIGHT things you need to do to achieve those goals
To find the REAL PROBLEM you need to solve so you can overcome the procrastination & stop-start cycle, self-sabotage that’s blocking you from making (& selling!) your art with confidence and ease alongside your busy life.
This isn’t a general ‘blueprint’ or a course to follow, this is a personal plan to work with your natural strengths AND find creative solutions to the limitations YOU HAVE right now.
This is where you get to find answers SPECIFIC TO YOU about how to achieve the success you want for your art.
Whether that’s dealing with a clingy baby OR juggling school hours with a part-time day job. The speed & ease to get to the success you deeply desire for your art will come from EMBRACING your inner Resistance as well as the REAL limitations in your life. NO MORE WAITING FOR THE PERFECT TIME.

This is a 90minute 1:1 personalised coaching call between you, me & your inner Muse.
This is your supportive space to speak that dream out loud.
Let’s Find the path to practically AND passionately step into that next chapter you desire for your art
Overwhelm is just your brain trying to keep you safe by making you can stay where you are. Yet you’re frustrated because you also KNOW there is a bigger purpose for your art.
It’s meant to go out into the world, not collect dust in your studio.
Together we’ll get clear on the mindset shifts + actions steps you need to make to build momentum in your creative work towards your goals.
Meaning, you’ll walk away with a clear marketing plan along with the confidence and clear steps of what you need to be doing every day (keeping in mind your busy schedule & mama duties!) so that you’re making art, connecting with dream buyers AND seeing those sales
Stop daydreaming & spinning in overwhelm.
A session with me allows you to stop feeling lost and stuck in the stop-start nature you find yourself in
you get to finally stop procrastinating on decisions & all the ‘I really shoulds…’
Let’s map out the next chapter of ease & success.
I’m here to help you make a plan TO DO IT
To find those dream collectors & clients
To make art that is yours (& you’re proud of!)
To feel clear on what you need to do to make & sell your art with ease
To talk about (& sell) your artwork with confidence
To launch that creative career & art business into a ‘real thing’ — even while juggling life with babies + 9-5 jobs
To fully embody being the Artist you know is inside you AND have the confidence to know you’ll actually DO IT
You’ll leave our session KNOWING what to do for your artistry & sales AND how to overcome any mental mindset hurdles that comes with a busy life so you can keep making progress towards those goals
This session is to help you with BOTH the emotional & mindset shifts (no more overwhelm or second-guessing paralysis!) AND the practical strategic action steps you need to take NOW (to find & sell to those dream buyers with ease!)
I see you going back and forth with whether or not you can BE THE ARTIST you’re called to be.
Only to find yourself spending way too long scrolling social media, feeling sick with jealousy at other artists. Because your self-doubt makes it too hard to actually do what you know you need to do
Or worse, you’re starting to question if there IS something wrong about you as an Artist + second guess the value of your art — when you KNOW your art is meant to go out into the world!
I see you get overwhelmed at all the Different ways “to achieve success” while getting exhausted from asking the same questions over and over
How do I find my dream collectors & buyers?
How do I use my time more effectively with marketing & social media so I can get back into the studio?
What am I missing from being able to be SEEN by MY dream clients?
the truth is, your overwhelm & frustration is coming from asking the wrong questions — and you can’t see that from inside your own head
If I can make art I love, see it in the homes of dream collectors, get 4-figure deposits for art I haven’t made yet during the school run AND have a busy part-time job I love WHILE being clear on the mindset & strategic actions to take EVEN with my limited time & mental space?
You definitely can!
WITHOUT sacrificing your creative voice or feeling icky about selling.
WITHOUT having to follow a “formula’ or “blueprint” that isn’t aligned with your values or season of life (There’s a huge difference between someone who is single, working 9-5 and a mama with 3 babies under 6)
EVEN WITHOUT being on social media 24/7! (We can explore what this means FOR YOU & YOUR ART in our session!)
You get all my, expertise, experience, lessons & resources I have collected over a decade in this journey of being an independent artist, a trained brand designer AND online business lady — to save you the trial & effort + time & money I spent in getting here.
I see you get started only to freak out & back off — spiralling deeper in frustration and doubts about whether you are good enough or if this is even worth the effort.
Your creative work IS worth it!
Your brain is just STUCK on thinking that external validation & permission is needed BEFORE you can take your art seriously.
Which only lets more time pass & more doubts to build up to keep you stuck
I’m here to help you remember YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS + you’re so much more capable than your inner critic thinks you are.
You have to give yourself the permission FIRST before you can figure out the path to YOUR success
I’m here for the Artist inside you READY to make that fear part of your life BUT NOT in the driver’s seat. It’s never going away because it’s part of our human experience. There IS a way to make it work for you AND build a joyful, confident art practice and business
Together, we’ll find a way that suits YOU, your art & your current season of life. You don’t have to keep procrastinating or keep waiting to find the perfect “guaranteed” path (there’s no such thing by the way!)
I see those stories your fear is telling you — that you “need more time”, your art isn’t good enough,
that you need to wait until…*insert those fear excuses here
No more listening to those lies.
Sure, it’s nice to have a luscious big studio space and to have ALL the time in the world to make your art the masterpiece you want it to be.
Sure, it would be magical to only think about colours & fun tools to play with while ‘someone else’ takes care of the selling & money & ‘business stuff’
BUT these stories are blocking your dreams NOW while you wait for perfection.
Those stories came from the days when only privileged white men could make & sell art or were supported by fellow rich white men and “other people” took care of the other things. Like finances & family & laundry!
That’s your own brain GATEKEEPING your success from you!
Those stories are your brain telling you lies to keep you safe & in the familiar feelings of stuck & frustration. It means not risking whatever fear your brain is trying to protect you from. — Lies that if you fail, you’ll lose something you cherish.
You don’t have to follow that narrative
You’re so much more powerful than those lies
Together we’ll cultivate a strategy & art practice that works for you & your season of life.
You’ll have time to do all the ‘business stuff’ or get back into the studio and still be able to take care of your babies at home or that 9-5 job
I’m not promising overnight success here or some magic secret hack to guaranteed success — We’re both wiser than that.
I know your Muse, your art & your inner best self is willing to DO THE WORK without sacrificing your values — YOU know that doing it the way you’ve been doing it is NO LONGER ENOUGH to match the vision you have for your artistry
You want to find ease on this journey AND not waste anymore time. You want to feel confident in your artistry so you can boldly share your art in the best light
Let’s paint a new story
Being a thriving Artist in whatever form that means for you.
Not what your parents, that art teacher or society says it is.
You can still connect to both the creative inspiration as well as the practical strategies, along with the genuine motivation to do it.
No more mis-aligned hustle energy that drains your Muse or means neglecting your family or health
How much time, energy & money are you already wasting? What opportunities are you missing as you keep waiting and being held back by these lies?
It’s time to boldly take that creative dream seriously.
Trust your inner Muse and let’s unravel those fears to find your map to becoming the empowered Artist you know you are
I struggled with having the belief about the calibre of my work and the potential to make it work as a business
What I would say is Back yourself! I feel ten years further down the track just from working on the mindset stuff.
I also have a clearly defined system for how customers go from start to finish. Plus new ideas, new clients & new ways of thinking.
Our work together makes me feel like there are no limits on what I can do!
Kerri Hollingsworth — Upholstery Artist

Her deep knowing of art, artists and artistic expression is awe-inspiring. Highly recommend you work with her
Carlie Maree — Author of Soul Modes
I understand that there’s five components to a sustainable creative life: be inspired, do what you love, do it often, share it with others, inspire them.

About Brenda
Brenda began her professional creative life as a graphic designer for one of the biggest greeting card companies in the world, where she nurtured her love of colour and composition. This was also where she gained experience in blending the goals of both creative and business.
However, 4 years into a dream design career, her inner calling to paint could not be silenced.
Leaving her career behind, she had her first solo exhibition in 2011 thanks to raising over $3k for her paintings (she hadn’t even made yet) and boldly launched her new life as a visual artist in full colour.
She finally felt like she was coming HOME to herself.
No longer just ticking society’s boxes for ‘creative success’ but actually build & live her soulful purpose in life
Alongside being a full time mama of two young children, she runs her creative business selling original paintings, prints, licensed products and working with dream clients around the world. (She even made over 100+ paintings while breastfeeding a newborn and juggling the life & energy of a pre-schooler)
Now she does it juggling a part-time job (She LOVES!) as well as the busy schedule of 2 kids while also getting 4-figure deposits during the school run
Just as her art isn’t complete until it finds it’s forever home, Brenda’s full creative expression isn’t complete without coaching creatives + sharing her experiences & expertise with her fellow Artists.
Helping them find confidence in their artistry and ease in their creative work to achieve the success they want in life & their own art business.
With her background in designing million-dollar product ranges, corporate marketing, being a branding + marketing designer and her living experience as an independent, visual artist who loves the art of selling
Brenda LOVES to help her Muse Momentum clients to create thriving lives that weaves their creativity, art business alongside a life that feels like their joyful purpose
