Compassionate Creativity Coaching
Are you feeling a little stuck or in need of some artistic encouragement? Consider signing up for a month of Compassionate Creativity Coaching.
For a period of four weeks, I will provide ongoing guidance, encouragement, and support as you pursue your creative goals. This offer is good for those who are newly embarking on an artistic journey, as well as for artists who once had a creative practice, but have gotten somewhat stalled or discouraged along the way.
I work one-on-one with artists to help them with their own specific visions and give them tools and ideas to overcome any obstacles, whether the obstacles are practical/ material or emotional/mental, or some combination. The month-long coaching package includes:
two 60 minute calls, scheduled when it is convenient (these can be in person if you are local to Easton, PA)
detailed notes from me in emails, including whatever resources are appropriate to your specific needs
regular text and email support
(I will reply to texts and emails within 48 hours)Click here to schedule a free 20 minute phone call interview to see if we are a good fit: lauren@laurenkindle.com.

Student Testimonials
“Lauren’s class widened my sense of my own artistic skills and gave me great insight into the skills accomplished artists bring to their work.” — Martin, painting student
“Thank you Lauren. I enjoyed your class. Your style of teaching was all positive with no pressure.”
—Pat Porter, painting student
“I just finished 2 weeks of virtual oil painting lessons with Lauren Kindle and it was an amazing experience, especially for a beginner like me. Lauren's daily assignments fit into my busy schedule and were well-planned, thorough, and each lesson was built off the previous one. She included different styles (still-life, landscape, abstract, surrealistic) into the lessons as well. Lauren was always available by text, phone, or email for any questions, advice, and feedback. I have developed a love for oils, color mixing, and working with a palette knife and am feeling more confident in my practice after taking Lauren's lessons.
I look forward to taking more classes with her, virtually and in-person. Lauren is an incredible teacher that has no "shoulds" in art. It has helped me so much to take this class to get over my "shoulds" and I cannot wait to paint more! I highly recommend this class for anyone who wants to explore their creativity! Lauren's art is beautiful and unique and it is an honor to learn from her.”
