β€œI created Art Friends because I know how powerful it is to have a supportive community to grow with.”

Katelynn is a professional artist, educator, and coach who is passionate about helping other artists thrive. And she believes that artists thrive when they are supported by like-minded peers and have access to the resources and skills needed to reach their art, career, and life goals.

 

β€œKnowing folks are in my corner (and vice versa!) is absolutely priceless!

Being a part of Art Friends, I have learned so much about healthy habits and changing my mindset. I’ve really chilled out and started chasing after good things.” - MM, illustration artist

β€œI have met more people, which has been really nice. Just being exposed to other artists has been amazing and the regular calls and Zoom check ins keep me acountable. Katelynn is an inspiration. ” - Mercedes Dawn Smith, artist and educator
