Another Creative Dream Come True
What a joy to witness the unveiling of Sarah Wandrey’s masterful mosaic restoration at the 120th birthday celebration of the historic Alexander Mansion last week. (Watch the Instagram video here.)
When Sarah and I first started working together she’d recently left her law career to pursue her dream of becoming a full-time mosaic artist.
A few reasons she chose to work with me as her coach:
“When I decided I was going to go for it I realized the next step was to hire you so you could help me clarify where I wanted to go.”
“I knew you wouldn’t make fun of me for wanting to make mosaics as a career.”
I believed you could help me take my art from puttering around my garage to something professional because I’d seen you be professional.
Also, you were also doing a “weird thing” professionally and I thought since she can do it for herself maybe she can teach me how too.
Naturally Sarah came to me with the “idea tornado” of all the things she wanted to do.
And with a husband, three kids still in school and pets to care for, she needed help to prioritize time, energy and resources for her creative passion.
While we worked together Sarah:
Set up her studio space
Had professional photos taken of herself and her work
Created a website she loves
Applied and was accepted to her first art fair
Designed a booth she loved, attended the art fair and sold work
Created and sold mosaic street number kits
Secured and completed a $15,000 custom residential architectural mosaic commission
She has since gone on to:
Win a 1st Place in Wall Coverings award for that residential architectural commission
Study advanced techniques with master mosaicists she’s admired for years
Be awarded a 5-month renovation project for an historic Dallas landmark home
Think of herself and introduce herself as an artist
If you’re considering working with me as your creativity coach, Sarah shares these words:
“Jill helped me understand way more clearly what my path could look like and feel way more confident that I could go down that path. That changed everything!”
