"Other professions have community. But artists often work in isolation for most of the year and it can be so lonely at times. I have found my community in the Art Queens! It has been so inspiring to have a place to ask questions and share wins! I feel like I am constantly learning and growing in this group!"

Your Relationship with Art is Forever.
LET’S BE REAL:
That’s why it needs YOU, and we need each other. Your practice deserves to be nurtured, loved and protected: and that’s exactly what our AQ Society helps you do.
Whether we’re connecting online or in person (yes, we meet up all over the world!), we’re collectively on a mission to hold each other accountable to chasing our dreams and upleveling our businesses.
THIS is where you’ll find new connections, collaborations and inspiration to uplevel — one step at a time.
Why do you *need* to join AQ?
The short answer? You don’t! But if you’ve ever struggled to stay on course with your vision or wish you had a community of artists who understand your unique challenges…
… Joining us puts you in the company of ambitious artists who prioritize growth and dare to dream big.
Along the way, we keep it real (yup, even Kat is fully transparent about her life as an acclaimed artist): that means you’ll find instant connection and motivation to fast-track your career.
Queens don’t settle for anything less than the best, and neither should you.

MEET YOUR COACH
Meet Kat: Your Certified Coach, Mentor & Artist-In-Digital-Residence
Did you know that I’m an immigrant who went to a small university… And had to eat my share of humble pie?
Yup! But along the way, I’ve managed to grow my art business to six-figures and exhibit and sell my work all over the world. I’ve been featured in multiple blogs and publications (including Colossal, The Jealous Curator, and The Philadelphia Inquirer), completed sought-after art residences across the world, and manifested a dream studio in Philadelphia.
When I’m not in the zone working on my oil paintings, I spend my time sharing my systems and processes for building a thriving art business with queens like YOU.
Because if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s this: we can’t wait around for our dreams to come to life! I want to help you find the pathway to attract the opportunities you deserve, and make sure you get there.
