Individual Coaching

Laying a Financial Foundation

My work with individual artists can be a single session or undertaking a full financial plan which includes three meetings and support over a year period to implement the steps we outline.

These topics range from creating an investment plan for older age, supporting family members, making a strategy to pay down debt, buy a home, or evaluating a current investment strategy. I have worked with the awardees of many programs including Guggenheim, Creative Capital, Joan Mitchell Foundation, and many others, to help them create a long term plan.

Is financial coaching right for you?

Are you so busy working in your abundant art practice that you aren’t taking the time to invest in building sustainable financial supports that will ensure your long term thriving?
Are you ready to take responsibility for your knowledge of financial systems and how they might best support you?
Do you need help planning for family members and their financial needs?
If you won a MacArthur “genius” award tomorrow, would you know what to do with the money?
If the answer is no, I can help you make a plan that matches your values.
