There is so much you can learn from experience, and I want to share what I have learnt with you. If you are ready to learn, I am here to show you the ropes and encourage you every step of the way

An incredibly motivating experience

"Kirsten is so inspiring and open. She shared so much about how she ran her business with us. It really got me thinking about who I am as an artist and where I want to position myself in the market. Kirsten shares her world with you and I couldn't be more grateful to her for doing so."

Knowledge is everything

Camilla Cicoria

"To learn business skills from another creative was the cherry on top for me. Kirsten has shared her intellectual property and I have already put these lessons into practice. I have definitely seen growth in my business! I highly recommend this course - you have nothing to lose and so much to gain!"

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the art industry with me.

Kelly Driver

I just finished your course and it was so helpful! I have taken long service leave from my job that pays my bills, to spend the time on my art business to take it to a new level and make some money in the process! I went through each chapter and spent time developing my thoughts and began new projects before going to the next chapter. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the art industry with me.
