A testimonial from Sarah’s Course From Dabbling to Dedicated:
“From Dabbling to Dedicated helped me do exactly that. Sarah's experience, expansive energy, and outlook on the art world taught me things I could only learn from her. Before starting the class, I felt like I was missing a piece of the puzzle. There was some invisible, mental barrier preventing me from having full confidence in myself as an artist and in sharing my work with the world. Sarah's course helped me solidify my space in the world. She helped me understand that I, alone, grant the permission I needed. That I alone declare the value in my work. She also helped with several tactical/practical tips I was missing. Whether you are at the very beginning of your art career, or farther along and feel like something is missing, I highly recommend taking Sarah's course. It was exactly what I needed and I'm so grateful to her!”
FAQs
Who is this membership for?
This membership is for artists, aspiring artists and anyone who feels the call to create artwork with increasing dedication. This membership is geared towards painters, especially for the monthly art challenges. Artists who work in other mediums are very welcome to join so long as you are aware of that. :-)
What happens in “Silent Studio” sessions?
We join a group zoom call on mute with the option to have your camera on or off and we all do our separate artwork (painting, preparing canvases, etc…) “together” over zoom. This is a way to get good group energy going and serves as a dedicated time to create! Please note that Silent Studio sessions will not be recorded.
What is the membership platform?
The membership is hosted on Mighty Networks which is available on desktop and mobile.
What is the level of commitment?
The making of art is often a solo endeavor, very personal and specific to you. This space exists as a context to deepen your commitment and show up to your practice with dedication - your level of accountability within this space is up to you, of course :-). AND, you will get the most from this space by engaging in all of the offerings - showing up for Silent Studio sessions, sharing in the community feed and attending the Q & A meetings.
What if I can’t attend the live Q & A sessions?
The Q & A sessions will be recorded and posted in the Q & A section of the membership. If you have questions and you cannot make it live, you can post your questions in the community feed and I will respond during the Q & A.
Will this membership teach me how to paint?
This membership is not geared toward step-by-step, how-to painting instruction but rather, it offers painting practices to expand and deepen your unique artistic voice.

A note on my personal experience
Before deciding to work towards making art my "real job" I spent over a decade pushing my art practice to the bottom of my to-do list. I would feel unclear about materials and stall, I'd have high expectations for making something "good" and feel defeated after a short painting session. As time continued to pass, I was increasingly frustrated with myself for shirking my desire and my responsibility to myself to be a "real artist" because I felt generally insufficient.
Once I decided to cut through the clutter and dedicate time to painting with consistency, my limiting beliefs began to quiet and were no longer calling the shots....then the experience of creative flow took over.
The "cutting through the clutter part" came in the form of deciding to prioritize the act of making art as regularly as my schedule would allow at that time, even if it was only a few minutes a day. The key was in the "doing" and the softening of limiting beliefs and getting into flow parts came as a natural result. It was in the doing that I could experiment and find out - in the doing that I could connect with my authentic voice - in the doing that I found my flow and got "better" - in the doing that the sense of insufficiency alchemized to the joy of discovery and creation. It is in the doing that I continue to grow.
I created this space to support you in consistently prioritizing doing your art because the magic is in the making!
This is a place to honor your artistic dreams and receive support in making art consistently in a spirit of curiosity, play, and expansion alongside other artists who are doing the same.
I would love to grow alongside you in Art Beyond Measure Studio!
