Become the artist you’ve always wanted to be.

The Artist Collective brings together visual artists of all styles and varying levels of creativity. Artists who love painting, drawing, or mixed media are welcome to join this creative space to learn, share knowledge and inspiration, and support one another on the path to artistic fulfillment. 

This membership is both a creative community and a personal exploration of creating art in a style that reflects how you see the world. You will learn to trust your instincts and move towards the art you want to make. 

Price: $24 Per Month

The mission behind the Artist Collective is to empower the artist through creative lessons to examine the creative process. The process is how art comes to be and how the artist's style and voice are revealed. It is the only way for artists to enjoy creating art without being consumed by the outcome.

The work you will do in the Artist Collective will be about process. There will be Creative Lessons to jump-start your studio work, engage your imagination, and make you think. You will create, problem-solve, discover, and learn rather than produce a final perfect piece of art. By working in this manner, you will eventually stumble upon a finished piece of art.

You will soon build a visual language of marks, lines, colors, textures, and colors that reflect your point of view as an artist. The tools, the paint, the marks, and the imagery will build up to a beautiful moment of chance when you step back and finally see what you've been looking for all along.

Your art!

My years of teaching and creating have made me aware of the obstacles we all face as artists. By taking action to break these barriers down, you will gain momentum in your creative practice and follow your path toward artistic growth, leading you to eventually build a visual language representing your point of view as an artist. 

It is for this reason that I am forming The Artist Collective. I hope to serve as your teacher, mentor, and fellow artist by laying a foundation to give you the tools to overcome self-imposed limitations, gain confidence in your creative process, and expand your relationship with your artwork. 

Every month, new "Members-Only" content is delivered to enhance and inspire your practice without overwhelming or distracting you from your artwork. In addition to monthly content, there is a private (non-social media) Artist Community for members to connect, ask questions, and support one another. 

By surrounding yourself with a like-minded community of committed creatives, you will experience a transformation in how you approach your artwork. You will gain a newfound sense of confidence, purpose, and artistic direction that will take you toward creating the art you've always wanted to make.

Creative themes and lessons will change monthly to get you thinking and, most importantly, creating.

THE ARTIST COLLECTIVE MAGAZINE: You will receive a beautiful (digital) magazine filled with art and inspiration every month. 

CREATIVE LESSON: Pre-recorded and not to exceed 60 minutes - the lesson aims to get you thinking, working, reflecting, and spending time with the ideas introduced. I encourage you to follow your heart and take whatever you need from the lesson to move closer to your art.

For one hour, I will share different supplies and art processes, and this is your chance to ask questions and connect with me and your fellow artists.

PRIVATE COMMUNITY: The community is not part of social media. It will be a space to share your work, ask questions, and connect with other artists. I will be present in the community three days a week.

MEMBER REVIEWS

It has been a wonderful experience to be part of the Artist Collective. It is a unique offering brimming with beauty and creative inspiration and sparking my creative voice. Thank you, Renee! ~ Ann S.

Renee’s Artist Collective is just what I have needed. I have been so immersed in taking classes that go from one project to the next that I was beginning to lose my joy in painting as I was concentrating on getting it done to get to the next project so I wouldn’t “fall behind”. Renee encouraged us in one of the first videos or Lives to slow down and concentrate on the process of making art vs the finished project. It was the exact  “permission” that I needed. My whole mindset has changed because of Renee’s beautiful way of teaching, encouraging, and taking us deeper into the art of making art! I am forever grateful!! Another “wow” of this collective is the monthly magazine she makes for us is spectacularly beautiful! ~ Libbi C.

The Artist Collective is a warm and supportive group of artists. Renee is a kind & generous soul, happy to share her knowledge of art with all. Thank you, Renee Mueller, for all you have taught me. ~ Vicki F.

I joined the Artist Collective, and I love being a part of a community of artists. Renee is a fun, energetic, and sweet-spirited person who loves to share her love of art and creating with others. I've learned a lot from her courses and Zoom classes. I have much more to learn, and I'm excited to see where this community will take each of us on our journey to grow. The magazine she makes each month contains beautiful photographs and meaningful quotes from various artists. She has started adding a tip each month, which is especially helpful for further growth. Each month so far has been centered around a particular master artist, which I find interesting and inspirational. Her use of various mediums, how she uses them, color mixing, and playful experimentation opens up ideas for those like me who are newer to creating and takes away some of the intimidation. Meeting others who love art and want to grow is a bonus! I'm so happy to be a part of this community! ~ Cindy W.

There is a wealth of information that I am enjoying at my own pace in the Artist’s Collective. There is no pressure, just fun exploring ways to be more creative. I feel more open to looking at the world in a creative way, such as how things like patterns, shapes, and textures can be used to enhance my art. Support, feedback, and encouragement are vital to one’s artistic journey and are all provided there. So grateful to be a member! ~Barbara H.

This course by Renee has rocked my artistic world!I was in a rut, and Renee has helped me finally paint in the most satisfying experience ~ Sandy S.

The Collective is a wonderful, supportive place. Renee shares lots of tips and tricks. Every month is something different. Renee publishes a beautiful magazine each month.. that goes along with her lessons and is downloadable. If you join now, she is giving you all her classes for no charge… what an amazing gift! Also, I can see a shift in my art by being more present throughout the process. ~ Bonnie G.
