Story Consulting for Artists

Feel comfortable in your artist skin.

 

As an artist, author, becoming visible is often a desire and a dread. You want your work to be in the world but fear it won’t be cared for.

Living with this tension it can be challenging to

  • find the words to communicate your ideas,

  • navigate feelings of fear, vulnerability or imposter syndrome,

  • feel confident sharing your ideas.

I can help you find the words so you feel confident.

Confidence arises when you are aligned with the story you tell and that happens when you discover your own motivations, but as artists we often create because we do not have words for what we wish to express.

The process I’ve developed helps you drop into your inner knowing so you can:

  • Identify, appreciate and celebrate your influences

  • Articulate your practice and share what is unique about your work

  • Share your work with an inner confidence that lights you up and sparks curiosity in others

 

"Laura was exactly the type of person I needed to help me find the clarity I had been looking for in a project that had lost its way. An artist herself, she’s like a therapist for creative people who has a special ability to ask pointed questions, listen mindfully, synthesize your thoughts, and provoke you to go deeper until you find that ah-ha moment. The results may be either immediate or come in quiet waves. But regardless of how you reach your truth, Laura is an essential helper in designing frameworks for new discoveries and pursuits."

  • Share

    Step 3: We look at ways you want to share your story, your website, grant proposals, social media, the press, and design a strategy and step-by-step path to get you the visibility that will help your career.

“As an independent musician, I have so many things to do. Website, bio, pictures, posters, fliers, emails. The brand story process helped create the text. When you said, "this part touched me", this was very interesting.

I think everyone who has a project, who is a solo artist, we all need some help and feedback, distance.”
