San Diego Creative Connection invites certified career and life coach Angela Martin of Defining Success Coaching for an encore presentation of her well-received talk on marketing for artists and creatives! If you missed Angela the first time, this is a great opportunity to discover more about marketing creative projects in ways that are natural to us, as well as defining our niche market. Not to be missed!

Angela Martin, owner of DEFINING SUCCESS COACHING, is a speaker and a certified career and life coach who uses proven techniques to help people make a great living doing work they love. Her specialty is in coaching and consulting people in creative roles to see themselves get the recognition they deserve, hear about themselves in their industry, and finally feel satisfied even when they previously felt stuck. After spending years as the youngest Creative Services Manager in the advertising industry worldwide (and at the agency that came up with Got Milk? nonetheless), she now pulls from her experience to help others achieve what they truly want out of their work.  

Angela is also the Work-Life Balance Writer for San Diego's Examiner.com. She has previously served on the Board of the San Diego Professional Coaches Alliance. 

In this hands-on, individualized workshop, professional artist Janet McCarty and creativity coach Rachel Moore will help you free your creative spirit, the one you may have kept hidden from the world out of fear, rejection or simply because you were never given an opportunity to share it, so that you can express yourself fully and fulfill your artistic calling. 

Janet will lead fun drawing and painting exercises to go deep into blocks and break through fear into freedom and joy around art. This workshop is for anyone who wants to connect with their inner artist and let it come out and play, regardless of your preferred medium. 
Workshop is limited to 6 participants.

When: 1-4 p.m., Saturday, March 3, 2012 
Where: The Glashaus, 1815 Main Street Suite B, 92113

Bebe grew up in an artistic home. Her mother was an abstract artist and her father’s architect friends designed the Frank Lloyd Wright-style house of her youth. She was intimidated by all the accomplished artists around her and squelched her artistic interest for many years – always thinking they knew something that she did not. After raising her daughters as a single mother and teaching school for many years, Bebe took a painting course at the local community college. This started her painting, but it was not until she met the fusionartist Rassouli that she finally connected her art to herself. As a lifelong student, some of Bebe’s interests include psychology, theology, world religions, mysticism, yoga, hypnosis, dream interpretation, meditation, mandalas, and tarot. The philosophy of the fusionart movement blends completely with her vision of creating art that reflects the subconscious mind and the universal consciousness. Her paintings invite viewers to use their own internal creativity to experience them.
