Season of Encouragement

If you’ve ever played an online role-playing game, you’ll know all about support characters.

Their sole purpose in the game is to make sure the main characters – the heroes – are, erm, well supported.

The heroes rock the game, smash the enemy and unleash their best selves to win the game, save the world and collect the booty.(… Treasure, not butts 🍑.)

While the support heroes are the trusty sidekicks, quietly healing the hero’s wounds and clearing out the pesky gremlins standing in the hero’s way.

In this adventure, you’re the hero.

And I’m your support sidekick. Your Yoda. Your arty BFF. And your fairy freaking artmother.

I’ll do all the work and figure out all the tech (after eight years, I know what I’m doing) and clear the path to make sure that getting arty and getting messy is easy for you.

I will support character you all the way to the end of the quest. All you need to do is show up.

Tiare Smith

Tiare is a mixed media artist and instructor. Born with art in her heart she lost her way from her art for 18 years. It came back to her life in a burst of emotion and anxiety. By practicing techniques of self-love, positive self talk, and action which have helped her to overcome other areas of struggle, she now enjoys her art in a free and inspiring way. She inspires creatives to embrace their inner artist while also nurturing their hearts and memories.
