IMPACT

Hear first-hand how the Artist Emancipation Movement has affected Artists in their pursuits of happiness and fulfillment…

  • ...A wayfinder and helps to bring your vision to creative life.

    Shawna is an exquisitely talented artist. Everything she creates is done with genuine, authentic passion! She was able to take my ideas, crazy writing, and design my brand and vision. In a world that often sees artists as “starving artists” or told to “find a real job” she challenges you to believe and achieve. She’s a wayfinder and helps to bring your vision to creative life. If you were the weird, artsy kid that never quite fit in… Shawna is the friend, sis, bff, artist you need. I’m always so amazed at her ability to build a creative, thriving community. Love you to the stars and beyond!

  • A place to feel seen, heard and validated.

    This was a container I wanted to be a part of during it’s first inception and I am so grateful to be a part of this one of a kind experience this go round. A place to feel seen, heard and validated. An experience like no other. A leader who is a colleague, an inspiration and a friend. A cheerleader. A place Artists of all kind can call home.

  • Being part of Artist's Roundtable reminded me that I don't have to take this journey alone.

    I had forgotten how much I missed communicating with other creatives: visual, writing, musical, cooking, whatever, right? We all go through the same issues, the same fears, the same joys. And being part of Artist's Roundtable reminded me that I don't have to take this journey alone. Having a coach is one thing, but being in a small group of brilliant, genius, funny women who speak THE SAME LANGUAGE - that's the key here. Shawna not only attracts the coolest creative bitches but she brings in guest speakers who take everything up another notch: they share their stories, their struggles, how they found to bring themselves to new heights, and often will do work with us right there on the zoom call. It's so much fun. Like, seriously. If you are longing for that kind of authentic connection where we can be crying one minute and cussing the next (or at the same time), this is it. This is real fucking life made better.
