I'm Also an Artist 🎨
You know that feeling: on a call you're a product manager, a lawyer, whoever, but deep down, you're an artist.
A group for people with a day job and a parallel creative life: painting, photography, sculpture, music, writing, dancing, any other medium, with unfinished pieces sitting in the corner of the room. We share our process, our discoveries, and that feeling of finally getting back to your work after a long day.
Max 5 people per group
Starts 21 September

Hi, I'm Inga
I'm a coach, and also a visual artist who loves to paint. Previously I worked in corporate as a PR director, and for years I used to introduce myself as "I'm a PR director, and also an artist."
Painting has been a passion close to my heart for years, but I decided to build my main career elsewhere. It's not always easy to find and make time for creativity, and I know I'm not alone in that. A few of you are going through the same thing, and that's actually how I came up with this idea: to create a group for people who struggle to make time for their passion.
So I'm putting this group together: a small, warm space to come back to your creative practice alongside others, instead of alone.
By the end of three months: a creative goal moved forward, more confidence in yourself as an artist, and a regular practice.
Who this group is for
You like to create, in general. Call it a hobby, a passion, or a side hustle, it doesn't matter. And art can mean anything: painting, photography, sculpting, playing or improving your music, writing a book, dancing, or more.
- You have a main job and never enough time for your other passion
- You create in stolen moments after work or on weekends, or feel guilty when you don't create at all
- You have ambitions, but never quite get around to it. You have a long list of dreams and creative to-dos
- You're looking for a small, warm group and something to keep you accountable (a chat, a call, people who ask how it's going)
- Perhaps not for you if you're already a full-time artist with plenty of time, this simply isn't your problem
What awaits you this season
A small, closed group (3–5 people)
Biweekly group call, 1 hour
Group chat on Telegram
What to expect during our calls
Ask for ideas and support
Each person gets air time during the call, whether you want a brainstorm or advice.
You choose your task
Pick what you want to move forward on, from your own personal list. In the call, you'll simply use the group to keep yourself on track to make time to create, or get moving on the book or project that's been sitting still.
Share, then report back
Tell the group what you're working on, then come back next time and share how it went.
I'll share my tips on time management and my personal experience
Tips and experience from how I've managed my time across two careers.
My motto: 80% perfect
I'll share what I know as a coach about quieting perfectionism and the inner critic.
What past groups say
"Even being in a group motivates you to do more, let alone the idea exchanges and feeling you are not alone in this."
Rhythm: 6 calls this season
Three months together, 6 calls, every two weeks. In between, the chat stays open for whatever's in progress.
September
October
November
Monday evenings, 6:00 PM CET
You can pay monthly or for the whole programme, but you're committing to stay in the group until the end. If you drop out, I'm not able to offer a refund.
What past participants say
"Even joining the group is motivational enough."
"The webinar on time management was very helpful."
"I like exchanging ideas and feeling I'm not alone in this."
A few questions people ask
What if I haven't created anything in two weeks?
No problem at all, this isn't about perfect discipline. Come and share whatever's true for you, even a pause.
Do I need experience?
No. This isn't about skill level, it's about not giving up and moving at your own pace. It's not about technique, it's not an art school or a technique review.
What if I'm too busy to attend the calls?
One missed call is fine if you're sick or simply overwhelmed, but there's no refund. If you can't make it, I'll explain what to do in the chat instead, like sharing your progress there.
