Diving deep in getting to the core of what realistically can happen with my art career with the time that I carve out. That I am the only one who can take my career to the next level is all up to me, so I need to get serious and plan accordingly for success.

The knowledge and patience provided within their art coaching services make for a great partnership. Whenever I need him (Jeremiah), he’s there. He also does a great job holding me accountable to reach my goals.” — Xavier Daniels Oil Painter Atlanta, GA Website https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2d0a45ba201d7c8adf715a/ad69b35f-d2c4-4df5-8818-69860ed1ed9c/IMG_2964+copy.jpg Our Clients - “Well, during the second discovery consultation, there was a major breakthrough where Jeremiah scrapped the initial plan and had me write an extensive "Favorite of Favorites" list, as he called it. I still reference this list even today. After having worked so closely in production for a major artist for five years, I had no real grasp on what I even liked or who I was as an artist. So Jeremiah gave me prompts for me to write down my top 3 favorite artists, musicians, songs, and art pieces. Coming from largely a painting background, out of 12 artists and artworks, I wrote down only 1 painter. This completely shocked me because, for one, it helped me see how little I was paying attention to my own creative needs and longings, and second this list began to point me in a new performance, musical, and installation direction my heart had truly desired but mostly ignored. I'm wondering if not for Jeremiah would this new exciting direction in creative practice have just remained in my subconscious? Thanks, Jeremiah!” — Kelli Ryan Painter & Installation Artist New York Website https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2d0a45ba201d7c8adf715a/59ff7614-111a-4c49-8db5-1aa64aafe1a3/IMG_4678.jpg Our Clients - “Jeremiah supported me in defining my core values as an artist and a person. Having this information in my back pocket has been really important for making decisions about my career, who I want to work with, and where I want my work to go. He has made himself available on short notice to support me in time-sensitive and confidential situations, and his guidance and perspective always gives me a boost of confidence in trusting my own intuition and he reminds me to return to those core values when I'm unsure about a decision. I plan to continue working with Jeremiah as much as I can. I trust his guidance, perspective, and expertise, and I feel that our values align in a way that there's a certain level of trust and understanding that I know I can rely on his advice when I may not be able to say the same for others.” — Ambrose Rhapsody Murray Multidisciplinary Visual Artist Asheville, NC Website https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2d0a45ba201d7c8adf715a/1618846717949-3L0EIFAY2N4KHQDQZFCE/IMG_0548.jpg Our Clients - “The one-on-one assistance I received from Ilekun Wa consultants helped guide me in specific aspects of my creative endeavors including: artwork pricing, shipping, framing, conceptual feedback, and direction for specific market research for my work” — Alexis McGrigg Painter & Performance Artist Jackson, Mississippi Website https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2d0a45ba201d7c8adf715a/581b243c-c833-4f8c-b0d2-0476bc5bf98d/Rafiki.jpg Our Clients - “Working with Ilekun Wa (Jeremiah) gave me direction” — Nicole Rafiki Interdisciplinary artist - photography, beadwork, textiles, and text Oslo, Norway Website https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e2d0a45ba201d7c8adf715a/1596317679966-J4VRY889GPW0OA1MT3Q7/Conteh.jpg Our Clients - “Ilekun Wa assisted me in meeting and exceeding my sales goals, provided the organizational structure that made my artwork inventory more accessible for galleries, collectors, and curators.
