“She takes mixed media art to a whole new level with the use of fabric in her work. Looking at her art in my home reminds me to dive back into the playful side of myself.”

"I am so happy I came across Sarah’s artwork because I love each one of her pieces!! It took me hours to decide which piece I initially wanted to buy from her. Her artwork is fun, colorful, playful, and full of exciting texture!! She takes mixed media art to a whole new level with the use of fabric in her work. Looking at her art in my home reminds me to dive back into the playful side of myself. Her art is the sunshine in my room on a gloomy Colorado winter day. I can’t wait for my next purchase from Sarah!"

— Caroline Woz, Artist, and Collector

“I was so drawn to Sarah’s colors and composition—as an artist myself, those things are what I love most in making too. Her shapes are so pleasing…”

"I had to have a Sarah Mays painting after seeing it hanging in a local venue.  I was so drawn to her colors and composition-as an artist myself, those things are what I love most in making too. Her shapes are so pleasing And my kids and I love to ask each other what we each see in the painting-a beautiful thing about abstract art."

What’s in the Artfully Present course?

K E E P S C R O L L I N G

MODULE ONE

The Gathering

Learn how to find yourself in your art.

Do you have a creative practice that feels authentic to you, and when I say authentic, I mean a method that’s originated from your experience in the world? I’m not just talking about your color palette and mark-making; I’m talking about distinguishing your voice from everyone else’s. Does it feel like your process is missing something, or could it use some direction?

It’s time to make your art exciting and innovative, and you already have everything you need to do that. Your artistic voice comes from how YOU see the world and how YOU experience it, and believe it or not, there’s nothing more original.

What does this mean for your practice?

  • You’ll create a framework of authenticity and begin to see your own process as the only inspiration you need.

  • I’ll coach you to find your interests and bring those out by developing a focused investigation.

  • Learn how to sharpen your instincts to build a sustainable process that continues to inspire you each time you create.

MODULE TWO

The Remix

How to find what you love and make it your own.

Does your art feel one-dimensional? (And it’s super frustrating because you know there is so much more?) You can feel great art bubbling inside you, but you can’t seem to find a way to get it out?

Let’s pinpoint exactly what YOU want to see in your art, process, and practice! We’ll work through identifying elements you love by looking at other artists’ work, taking photos of urban/natural elements, clipping inspiration from online sources, as well as collecting pieces of materials you want to put in your sketchbook for reference.

What does this mean for your practice?

  • Learn what you like in artwork to stop wasting your time creating what doesn’t feel authentic.

  • Create a step-by-step blueprint for analyzing, practicing, and developing your art that you can come back to again and again, so you never feel intimidated by the blank canvas!

  • Grasp the exact language to describe elements within the design, mark-making, color, form, line, value, etc., that make your art YOURS.

  • You’ll develop a keen eye for your own style elements, so you can confidently explain your work. Let’s be honest, when you can talk about your art with ease, it’s impossible not to share your enthusiasm and not LOVE what you do!

MODULE THREE

Growing Pains

How to sit in the discomfort of your art.

Is it hard for you to get past the messy middle of art-making? Are you frustrated because your skill doesn’t match your aesthetic? Are you feeling overwhelmed by the process of finishing a piece of work? Are you finally ready to get brave, make big moves, and trust that your process will get you to the finish line?

Creating art with impact starts with a willingness to choose authenticity over belonging. And we can’t consciously choose authenticity, it comes from practice.

What does this mean for your practice?

  • Learn how to recognize the breadcrumbs within your creative practice that tell the story of your art.

  • Take the guesswork out of “finding your style,” by learning how to critically analyze your art.

  • Learn how to embrace failure as a pivotal part of all art practice, not an end result.

  • Grab time-saving tips—no more glorifying style over voice, learn how to embrace where you are in your art journey. Trust me, when you can drop the aesthetic expectations in the name of authenticity, your practice will develop beyond technique and skill, and you’ll see a dramatic shift in the art you’re creating.

MODULE FOUR

The Sparks

How to develop ideas you love into something bigger.

Do you get excited when you finally create something you love, but you don’t know how to recreate it again? Are you spending hours spinning your wheels, only to realize your spark was a one-off, and you don’t know how to do it again? Are you tired of irregular, sporadic sparks that you never develop into something more, like maybe a series?

Those sparks are the breadcrumbs that will lead you to your voice. Being authentically you takes practice, and your artistic voice is waiting to be set free.

What does this mean for your practice?

  • Get your hands on my exact process that can help you harness the sparks.

  • Learn how to customize the process to develop your sparks into more authentic art.

  • Grab the precise tips that helped me develop my practice in the direction of my artistic voice

  • Swipe my inspirational checklists to boost your creative output regularly.

Stop pretending that your practice doesn’t matter, you can create with intention and embrace full flow in your creativity.

Oh yeah, hey! wanna know a little bit more about me, your teacher…

Over the last eight years, I have built a creative practice based on authenticity and exploration that helped develop my art to support a career as a professional artist and creative coach. During the pandemic, I decided to be brave and embrace my dream of becoming an artist full-time. Fast-forward to the present. I am officially a working artist creating pieces for galleries and collectors, writing about my art practice, teaching courses, and hoping to empower other artists and creatives along the way.

THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU IF:

 
 

YOU'RE BEGINNING YOUR ARTIST JOURNEY.

You have a dream of making art a part of your daily life. You know you have something to say, you just don't know where to begin, and you've always wanted to see what could happen if you just started!

YOU'RE READY TO GET SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR ART PRACTICE.

Wherever you are in your practice, your mind got you there first. So what could be more important for your art than creating time in your daily practice that supports personal and creative growth?

YOU NEED A CHANGE & YOU'RE READY TO SHAKE IT UP.

Anything that grows has a pattern. For example, slice open a pineapple, you will see a pattern, and just like the pineapple, your creativity has a pattern. You just need to figure out how to slice it, so it reveals itself. That's what ArtFULLY PRESENT does, shows you your creative pattern in your practice.

creativity is a number’s game, the more you create, the more you create.

WHAT COULD BE MORE IMPORTANT FOR YOUR ART THAN CREATING MOMENTS IN YOUR DAILY PRACTICE THAT SUPPORT PERSONAL AND CREATIVE GROWTH?

FAQs

 

Q: Right now is a busy time for me, I’m worried I won’t have time! Do I need to follow week by week or can I go at my own pace? 

A: Hey, I get it, and don’t worry! This whole course is entirely go-at-your-own-pace! Why? Because I want you to take your time, to implement as you learn, to listen and re-listen as many times as you need! You can take seven days or seven months! Everyone’s journey through ArtFULLY PRESENT will look a little different and that’s what makes your practice, well...YOUrs.

Q: I’ve bought other artist’s courses before and have been disappointed. I’m worried this is “just another art course.” How is yours different? 

A: Here is what ArtFULLY PRESENT isn’t: it isn’t a place where I tell you how to paint-by-number or teach you the ins and outs of my particular style. In fact, I’m going to teach you how to find your own voice through practicing what you love. You don’t need to worry that I’m going to take your money and run, I am an invested instructor who is set on making sure you are a success (because when you are a success, so am I!) This course is about creating art beyond aesthetics and about changing your practice and mindset to get you to create what you love and get back to the art of it! 

Q: I'm thinking of (or just) getting started, why should I join now? How will this help me?

A: Oh friend, this is the time! Here’s what I think: a year from now, you’re going to wish you had started today. Sure, it’s going to take time, but time will pass anyway. This class will teach you how to build a creative practice from the ground up. Whether you're ten years deep or ten days in, this will lay a foundation for a creative practice to inspire you and support you as your grow. Trust me, your future self will thank you for taking a leap today!   

Q: How long will I have access to the content? Will the course expire? 

A: This course is a lifetime course! So what does that mean for you? Well, it means  I want you to always have this content, so if you join now, it’s yours forever. I am constantly tweaking, adding to it, and recording new content so once you’re in, you’re in for everything that’s waiting for you now (and anything that’s coming down the pike!) 

Q: My time is limited, how much time will I need to set aside each week for the content? 

A: Since this is a go-at-your-own-pace course, it will differ for everyone. The recommended amount of time to spend on the course per week is about five hours if you want to finish it in 30 days! I recommend you go through the modules once or twice, spend time completing the prompts in the workbooks, watching (and rewatching)the masterclasses, and then implement the lessons into your art practice. I love that you can pause during your busy weeks, take the modules on the go with the audio downloads, and revisit a lesson when you’re feeling stuck. Remember, you have to adjust this to fit your life!

Q: Why did you choose to do an online course, do you offer in-person workshops? 

A: There are numerous reasons why I Choose to do online courses! Here are the top three... 1.) I would rather speak to you when I'm comfortable (I'm an Introvert) which looks like bedhead and Paint pants behind a microphone. 2.) I've spent so much time in workshops and felt inspired while I was there, but then I always went home, life took over, and I never implemented my learning. I want this to be go-at-your-own-pace and I want you to implement within your time frame. 3.) This is a new way a lot of us learn now, and it's so convenient, amirite?
 

Q: I’m not an abstract artist, is this course still for me?

A: Here’s the good news, ArtFULLY PRESENT is for any kind of artist. From newbs to seasoned, abstract to uber-realistic. ArtFULLY PRESENT isn't specific to any art genre. I'll teach you how I created a practice that leveled up my art quickly(and the same principles I used can apply to your practice.) This is a mindset course specifically for artists and creatives, so think of it as developing a process specific to your creative interests.  

Q: How is the content delivered? I’m worried that I won’t learn the way I like to learn best. 

A: I understand that everyone has different learning styles, which is why I’ve got you covered. The content is delivered in multiple ways to speak to your personal learning style. You can watch the Masterclasses and see me doing, you can download the Workbooks to read at your own pace, and you can listen to the Audio (on the go!), OR you can read the transcription! we have plenty of ways for you to ingest the content, so there’s absolutely no reason to worry! 

Q: Ok, fine. I think I’m in! BUT … what if I hate it when I join? What if I realize I’m totally not a fit?

A: Buyer’s remorse sucks! I understand. I poured my heart into this course, and I sincerely believe that it will be a tremendous asset to your creative practice, like it has been for me. However, I want you to know I have your back: I have a pretty tight 7-day refund policy (only because I want to attract dedicated and excited participants to the course!),i’ll give you a complete guarantee. I don’t want you to second-guess your purchase for a second!

I can’t wait to meet you inside the course.
