Which came first?
Coffee Painting or Website Design for Artists? 

Painting with coffee came first. I experienced the possibilities that it inspired and it expanded my creativity. Eventually I wanted to share my coffee paintings and have exposure in a wider artistic audience. How could I do that? 

Having a personal website was the fastest and most efficient way for me to spread the word. However, like many artists, I’m not a technical person and learning how to build a website was a challenge. Once I mastered the basics I realized websites could be designed to specifically reflect Art.  I knew I could build websites that were artistic looking rather than generic technical boxes. 
I could help people release their creative resources using coffee as a painting medium. And if interested, I could create a personal artistic website that would showcase their artwork for the world to see. 

It became a Win Win situation

In the past years I have noticed witnessed this connection growing stronger. 

My Go-To Tools:

• Espresso Coffee. Transforming Coffee Into Art. 

I have discovered an unexpected benefit from painting with coffee. People are not afraid to paint with coffee because it isn’t paint. Over the years I have experienced the joy of seeing blocked individuals paint for the first time. Painting with coffee releases fears beginners have and offers new techniques for more experienced painters. As an artist I am able to encourage a comfortable creative path for beginners to follow. Once the spark is ignited the inner artist is free to sore and have fun.  Discovering hidden creativity and showcasing original artwork is my passion. ”Coffee Art Coach"  I provide Workshops/Classes/Private Lessons.

• Squarespace Websites. The  Fine Art of Website Design.

I believe every artist should have a website. Owning your website puts you in charge of all customization, editing and timing.  An Artist website anchors your online presence, reflects your style, and shows your artwork in a way that is authentic. Social Media is ideal for spontaneous media connections and social interaction. It’s fast and free but not the same as ownership. This is a big deal and often overlooked. 

An established artist may have reached a point where having a website is up next in continuing their art career or a person may still be a “wannabe artist” clinging to the edge of their blocked creativity.  Either way personal advancement and exposure to the unknown future can bring up fear and hesitation. This is where I step in and provide guidance with a solid plan to move forward.

Committing to having a website can be overwhelming at first with so many choices and unfamiliar terminology. As an artist myself I understand this. I am challenged by bringing fine art into the technical landscape that the Internet requires. I have found a way for the “Techie Part” to be fun and creative in my website design work.

I work solely with Squarespace. Its flexibility and creative options make it the best platform for artists.
