The Artist Support Group is a social support for artists where we are supporting one another in a balanced life that leads to exceptional art and therefore a more peaceful and balanced world.

Helping ourselves in this way helps the world!

• Addiction Awareness for Artists
• Mental Health and Wellness for Artists
• Financial Planning for Artists

Fitness and health…

Lets face it, a life in art can become an unhealthy ordeal; yet this is far from out of your control. I believe that a healthy body will lead to a more pure expression of art. Health and image problems are as much of a threat to your business in art as is money. It’s just another thing to worry about instead of focusing on your creativity.

Addiction awareness…

Addiction is yet another enemy, not only to your art, but also to yourself in general. I understand the level of pressure that the artist puts on themselves and that pressure can lead to depression and stress which tends to lead to the overuse of psychologically stimulating substances. We understand this and are here to help.

Mental Health and Wellness…

I Do Not believe that a life of struggle makes for better art. I believe that a life free from self-generated conflict, which includes financial pressure & personal stress, is the key to productive, more expressive art. Personal problems kill creativity! If you are someone who has many personal problems yet maintain high standards of creativity, just imagine your level of expression once your mind has been set at ease.

Financial Planning for Artists…

Taking care of your tax burden at the end of each year can certainly seem daunting. The tax code is intentionally confusing and there is no wonder that this important element of your career in art is often overlooked. Although artists realize that this needs to be handled, many times they do not know where to start.

We can help establish the groundwork which will make this a far less intimidating task…
