HERE'S WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE ACADEMY!
Artwork by artist Marjorie Thompson
"The Academy is a frequent companion in my studio. Ours is a solitary business but hearing artists' conversations while I'm working, grappling with the same issues, is comforting, energizing and useful. I listen or watch all the video forums, FB chats, live streaming, Q&A's etc. while I'm working. I get a huge lift of encouragement and support from the Academy while painting in solitude. That's pretty frickin awesome!”
~ Susan Derrick

“The Academy Mastermind call today had a profound affect on me!!! I feel like it changed my life and hopefully my art!! I feel more like myself."
~ Pat Dennis
“I love learning about how Nicholas works and how to think about the principles in abstract art... Nick is very real because he is not afraid to show flaws, and is willing to address them in a way that is helpful to me.”
~ Mary Parkman
“The Academy has given me the teaching I have been looking for and honest feedback to push forward. I have won awards with improved art and been given the confidence to get out in a more professional art environment. My work is now getting noticed in art communities beyond my home town as well as art publications.”
~Nancy Gunther
I joined the academy, watched the masterclasses about website building, artist statement writing and photographing your paintings. I got done in a week what I had not been able to do before.
I am up and running, open for business - and sold my first painting! I feel so grateful to the Art2Life team for their tremendous resources and to my wonderful fellow artists for their support.
~ Jan Demuth

Here’s what our members are saying about The Art2Life Academy community:
“How lucky we are to have this community, to have one another, to have each other as mentors, guides and friends. We hold each other up. We take each other to the next level. We hold a hand to those who stumble for a moment. We get hands reached out to us when we’re unsure of our own way.
My heart is filled with gratitude to be in such a supportive and challenging group where I can grow exponentially faster than I ever could on my own.”
~Tom Hlas
“Before I joined the Art2Life Academy, my confidence was on the low side in part because I compared myself to others who were further ahead of me. I didn't know how much my art was worth because I thought I was not producing sellable art. I didn't know whether people would be interested in my art or if they would buy and what they would be willing to pay.
At first, I was worried about spending money on myself... but I could not have asked for or dreamed of a more perfect community to belong to. I feel known, cared about, respected, and connected to so many wonderful people through the Academy. I tell anyone who asks that I have the 'best' community of art colleagues for the rest of my life if I want it.”
~Eileen Harwood

This past year has been life transforming for me. I have been listening to all the videos, phone calls and have been reading a lot of the content on this website and you guys gave me the strength to move forward. Thank you guys!

The Art2Life Academy will give you the support you need to keep going (and keep growing) with your art:
Crystal MacLean says... “It’s taken 50+ years on this earth to finally feel like I have found my tribe. Every time I listen to Nick, Kerry, Susan or the others on academy videos, I just wish we could cozy up in a restaurant with some good food and wine and talk about life with them. I feel HOME. I’ve always longed to dig deeper. I like to talk about art and philosophy and mindset and ego and things that people in my daily life don’t talk about.
It honestly brings me to tears to think about how much of a journey it’s been to get to this point of authenticity. To being brave enough and proud to be who I am and still open to expanding and pushing out my edges as Nick likes to say.
I’m so deeply grateful and believe there are no accidents.
'When the student is ready, the teacher appears.'“
Gordon Studer says... “The Art2Life Academy has been a hub to keep returning to for reinforcing the principles. The content is constantly being updated and is extensive. When I lose momentum or focus with my art, it help to revisit the Academy to get informed and inspired. It's played a big role with moving forward with my large paintings and work in general."
Like a game of consequences,
I did CVP …and so… I joined Art2Life Academy …and so… I saw Caroline M Millar’s wonderful video … and so …. I made my own …and so… I found a way to talk about my art …and so… I wrote an artist’s statement …and so… I built a website …and so… I got approached by an Art Consultant …and so… I have just sold my first two paintings!!! …and so… I have re-invested all that money …and so… My work will feature in Vogue magazine in November, December and January …and so… What next?
Thank you to Art2Life
