“Nick's explanations of the principles of art have had a profound influence on my work and given me the tools to move through and analyze when things are not working.”

“The Academy has been a game changer for my art trajectory. I'm always learning and selling my work at a rate that surprises and thrills me. It's largely attributable to the professional staff and array of artists fostered through the Art2Life community.”
~ Diane Sandlin
“I love learning about how Nicholas works and how to think about the principles in abstract art... Nick is very real because he is not afraid to show flaws, and is willing to address them in a way that is helpful to me.”
~ Mary Parkman
“The Academy has given me the teaching I have been looking for and honest feedback to push forward. I have won awards with improved art and been given the confidence to get out in a more professional art environment. My work is now getting noticed in art communities beyond my home town as well as art publications.”

The Academy is a frequent companion in my studio. Ours is a solitary business but hearing artists' conversations while I'm working, grappling with the same issues, is comforting, energizing and useful. I listen or watch all the video forums, FB chats, live streaming, Q&A's etc. while I'm working. I get a huge lift of encouragement and support from the Academy while painting in solitude. That's pretty frickin awesome!”
~ Susan Derrick
Here’s what our members are saying about The Art2life Academy community:
“How lucky we are to have this community, to have one another, to have each other as mentors, guides and friends. We hold each other up. We take each other to the next level. We hold a hand to those who stumble for a moment. We get hands reached out to us when we’re unsure of our own way.
My heart is filled with gratitude to be in such a supportive and challenging group where I can grow exponentially faster than I ever could on my own.” —Tom Hlas
“Before I joined the Art2Life Academy, my confidence was on the low side in part because I compared myself to others who were further ahead of me. I didn't know how much my art was worth because I thought I was not producing sellable art. I didn't know whether people would be interested in my art or if they would buy and what they would be willing to pay.
At first, I was worried about spending money on myself... but I could not have asked for or dreamed of a more perfect community to belong to. I feel known, cared about, respected, and connected to so many wonderful people through the Academy. I tell anyone who asks that I have the 'best' community of art colleagues for the rest of my life if I want it.”

"The Art2Life Academy is like a living breathing encyclopedia on all things related to the process of making art. I've learned so much and have continued my art education through this platform. One of the biggest benefits from this resource came when I was preparing for my first one-person show...
I had so many questions on how to prepare both mentally and logistically. In The Academy, I was able to leverage the experience of other artists. I found information on how others approached not only mindset and creation of a body of work, but other details including the business end of dealing with the galleries, cataloging, pricing, artist statements etc. It was so great to find such a vast amount of information all in one place."
~ Janet Jaffke
See how the Art2Life Academy has helped these artists enrich their practice and stay focused on their goals:
“I've just handed in my notice to my job go full-time with my art practice, which has come about through being part of Art2Life. Staying in touch with Nick and the rest of the Academy community has meant I've maintained my focus, zeroed in on my goal and kept motivation and action going until I achieved it.”
~ Jan Allsopp

This past year has been life transforming for me. I have been listening to all the videos, phone calls and have been reading a lot of the content on this portal and you guys gave me the strength to move forward. Thank you guys!
~ Louise Savoie
The Art2Life Academy will give you the support you need to keep going (and keep growing) with your art:
Zoe Ashbrook says… “As a new artist, I have found being part of the Art2Life Academy incredibly rewarding. The vast knowledge base of information available through calls, lessons, interviews and other artists has stimulated, encouraged and developed the growth of my own authentic art journey in an environment which feels safe, honest and true.”
Gordon Studer says... “The Art2Life Academy has been a hub to keep returning to for reinforcing the principles. The content is constantly being updated and is extensive. When I lose momentum or focus with my art, it help to revisit the Academy to get informed and inspired. It's played a big role with moving forward with my large paintings and work in general."
“I love being part of a community that speaks my language, and sharing a space with others who prioritize art in their lives. This validates my own desire to do the same. I feel understood and have zero fear in this arena — the support is beyond measure!
My success story is simple: I'm an artist again. I have a path with an enormous amount of support, resources, inspiration and community to pull from to move me forward. Onward!"
~ Ann Elliot Artz
