Are you out of your creative practice and/or are stuck on how to find your own artistic voice?

Do you want to have your work noticed, but you’re overwhelmed of where & how to start?

Are you an artist or maker looking to break into the market & art festival scene?

Are you a seasoned pro looking for some fresh ideas?

You are in good company with the numerous creatives I’ve coached over the years to create authentic work, apply, land, and supercharge their creative journey.

Hi, my name is Susie! I’m excited to meet you where you are, and equip you with the tools and tips you need to cultivate an authentic creative voice and have your work supported.

For the past 17 years, I’ve been an educator/artist and have lived the ebbs and flows of the creative industry.

I’ve been on both sides: as an artist finding my creative style and voice, applying to all types of events to now, the Founder of Locally Made Market in Cary.

I’m a wife, a mom of 2, an educator, a contemporary artist, and the owner of a pop-up market and ally consultant/public speaker. Just like I’m sure is true of you, I have a million plates spinning at one time!

The creatives I’ve had the honor of coaching coin me as someone who creates a safe place to lay down their fears, frustrations and feelings of being overwhelmed.

I’m passionate about taking what I have learned over the years, and turning these lessons into effective strategies to help you remove roadblocks and spark success.

My artistic coaching services will provide you with a straight forward road map and useful tips to help you gain confidence in the creative world.

What My Clients Are Saying:

“Susie has put the creative spark back into my soul that has been missing for many years! After being out of the art world for over a decade and deciding to come back to my roots I did not know where to begin. My one on one coaching with Susie has reignited my passion for self discovery and finding my authentic voice. Susie is so wonderful at sharing ways to reconnect with yourself and ways to connect with the art community. I am excited to see what the future holds now that Susie has me on my way!”-G.M.

"Susie's 1:1 Artist Coaching helped me get out of my own head! The hour spent with her was invaluable in getting me "unstuck" in my creative endeavor. She made sure we were both prepared for our discussion with a custom, thoughtful set of questions via email before our phone call, then followed up afterward with another opportunity to provide feedback on my ideas. I highly recommend working with Susie! She brings a lot of knowledge from her own experience as an artist and is very good at helping others reframe their own questions so that answers can come more easily.” -N.R.

“Meeting with Susie about my creative small business was inspiring and motivating. It was obvious that she researched my online and social media presence by the thorough feedback we discussed, and she also provided notes I could take with me. The feedback and suggestions she made were very helpful, and I was able to implement some ideas immediately. I highly recommend a consultation with her!” -A.S.

Your work matters! I’d love to help you establish yourself in the creative world, sell more of your products and grow your bottom line while you add to our creative community.

What My Clients Are Saying:

“My coaching session with Susie was more than I'd hoped for. It felt like I was talking with an old friend instead of someone who makes it their business to coach others. She seemed like she genuinely cared about me and my small business. She gave me great tips that I began to use right away. Other goals are more long term, but overall I now feel better about making the decisions I need to make. I also feel like her coaching and support didn't end when we ended our video chat. I'm grateful for Susie's help and recommend her to other creative business owners needing guidance.” -J.D.

"Spending time with Susie gave me the encouragement I needed to go into my first art market with confidence. She was organized & thorough in answering my questions & concerns; giving me tips from creating a cohesive look across social media platforms, keeping track of inventory & setting-up, to wearing comfy shoes and bringing snacks. I highly recommend Susie’s Consultation Services for anyone wanting to grow their creative business! Thanks, Susie!"  -T. P-Tan
