This is who Growth Studio is for.
(Not just who it's for—but who it is.)
Growth Studio is a space for artists who care deeply about their work. Artists who are thoughtful, curious, and quietly determined. You’re not chasing trends or external validation—you’re here to make honest, powerful art that feels like you.
You might not call yourself brave, but we see it:
In the way you keep showing up.
In the questions you ask.
In the moments you stay with the work when everything in you wants to walk away.
Growth Studio is for artists who want more trust, more clarity, and more ease—not just in their painting, but in how they live with their art.
And maybe most importantly: Growth Studio is a community of artists who care about each other.
We share, support, and show up—not with competition, but with generosity.
We know the creative path isn’t meant to be walked alone.
If this sounds like you, you might already belong here.

Antrese, I have never been so excited about my work! You provide such a wealth of resources and spot on coaching. I feel like my growth is limited only by the amount of effort I choose to apply to my work. And you present that effort as something exciting and FUN. I cannot wait to see where my skillset can go!!

About Antrese
Hey there! I'm so glad you're here. I've been fortunate enough to work with some of the most creative minds in the entertainment industry during my time at Disney. After a decade of providing art direction on video game titles to artists worldwide, I became skilled at quickly identifying problems and clearly articulating how to make high-quality paintings.
But that's not all. I'm also a Master Certified Coach and Deep Dive Coach, which means I can help you get to the root cause of all the sneaky tricks your brain tries to play when you're in your studio. You'll see exactly what your thoughts are creating and master the tools that create lifelong habits.
With my rare combination of practical art skills and cognitive behavior studies, I guarantee you'll see concrete results. I've spent years curating lessons from my own studies and experiences to create this program just for you. Let's make some magic together!
It elevates everything about the experience of painting
(Antrese) really talks a lot about falling in love with your painting. I have that now as a criteria of a successful painting experience: am I in love with my painting and am I deeply curious about my painting? And that has just helped me refine and crystallize that very important mindset. It brings joy to my work. It gets me excited.

What do Artists say about
working with Antrese?
Antrese is always very efficient with what she says. She keeps the group running and stays focused. I love that. I love that she redirects if whoever's talking gets off course or tries to go around the answer. But she's kind, she keeps it running, and she's great at time management because we all have a lot to say - and it's fun!
~ Leslie
Antrese definitely challenges me. She has some of the answers, but she teases them out of me, and it probably works much better that way for me to come up with the answers myself than for anybody just to give them to me and write them down. And Antrese is extremely generous, so it is a pleasure to work with her.
~ Michele
"I enjoy being pushed, but (Antrese is) good at not pushing when somebody doesn't want to be pushed. I've noticed that (Antrese doesn't) push all of us the same way. (She's) good at reading the person and and seeing how tough to be, and how gentle to be."
~ Jack
~ Janice
"Antrese brought a unique level of insight and genuine caring to each participant, which I so much appreciated. She made everyone feel comfortable and supported, like a dear friend, but also knew when to break out some tough love, like a compassionate mentor that really cares about your evolution.”
~ Laura
"Within a few months of Antrese’s course on getting into a gallery, I not only got into one, but had a successful solo show.
She helped me break that self-imposed limited thinking and move along a more productive path. Not everyone’s going to have the same result, but everyone will take away something liberating. She’s really good at re-directing your thinking.”
~ Rhonda
“Antrese is so down to earth. It's like having a good friend to talk to. I mean, she's an artist, so of course, she understands. She's bringing up the right questions.
When you talk outside the group, people don't get it because "you're so lucky you're an artist!" And we are! Yet, there's still all these challenges. I'm very thankful that she put the program together. She's very organized and to the point.
