Artist Conference Network Testimonials

“I would have never have achieved the level of proficiency in my work, nor brought my art into the world (galleries, exhibitions) without ACN. I am more focused and less reactive in my life as a result of ACN. My ACN group and community is where I am seen and supported for who I truly am in my fullest expression of Self.”

– Jean Anderson

“ACN propelled me to go beyond my personal boundaries. Through ACN I have: opened two successful galleries, sold over 3,000 of my photographs and found focus in my art. My breakthroughs have led to increased happiness and serenity in my personal life as well.”

– Cathy DeForest

“ACN forces me to recognize my own achievements. This increases my desire to create because I see that my creativity contributes to the creativity of others. By supporting me in staying present to my stated goals, ACN facilitates movement in all areas of my life. ACN members witness and acknowledge the uniqueness in each participant. These activities expand compassion for myself and for others.”

“Before joining the Artist Conference Network, I did not know myself as an artist. Now I know myself not only as an artist in Web Design, but also as a writer, designer, poet, song-writer, photographer, and performer. My Web design work, body work, leadership, coaching and playful participation in life are infused with a creativity I keep discovering a-new through the ACN process.”

– Rick Eckel

“Since joining ACN, I've experienced the most prolonged creative period of my life.  Could there be a connection?  Seems like it to me. Fun, challenging, stretching in a supportive environment – ACN is helping me to lead the kind of creative life I desire. I create more often from a place of lightness and surprise.  Who's in charge?  I don't really know, but I'm happy to go with it.”
