Coach & Mentor
Deb Larson
Creativity Coach & Artist Mentor

What I find thrilling about being a coach and mentor is, whether you are a beginning, emerging, or mid-career artist, I get to help you be your most authentic, productive, creative, and successful artist-self.

I can’t think of anything more exciting than helping other creatives identify their strengths and add new tools to enhance existing ones.

As a creativity coach, I draw on my art education, Creativity Coach training, years as an artist mentor, as well as my personal experiences with creating, marketing, selling, and exhibiting art.

My board leadership and grant panel experiences on a regional arts council also allow me to provide an inside point of view with grant writing and proposals.

I even offer website-building services (fees separate). Visit website services.

I can’t wait to work with you!

Education

Creativity Coach Training with Eric Maisel, Ph.D., renowned psychotherapist, prolific author and America’s foremost creativity coach.

Bachelors of Studio Arts, Painting & Sculpture focus, University of Minnesota, Morris

Associates of Arts, Psychology, Scott Community College, Bettendorf, IA

Ongoing continuing-ed art classes, retreats and workshops … Split Rock Arts Program of University of MN, Milan Village Arts School, Milan, MN, Exploratory Art with David Feinstein, Fine Arts Professor with U of MN, Minneapolis

Experience

After years of working with families through Family Services in several capacities, I decided it was time to pursue my other passion, so I went back to school for my studio art degree.

I have since made up for lost time, making lots of art, showing and selling, mentoring other artists, and advocating for the arts, locally and regionally. I continue to create and you are welcome to check out my artist website and studio notes at DebLarson.com.

Now, I have the pleasure of combining both of my passions, helping others and creating. In my mind, there is nothing more gratifying than to help others thrive in life. I would consider it an honor to help you cultivate your creativity!

-If you already know what you want, great, you can just tell me what features or ‘bells and whistles’ you like (usability/animation/responsiveness) and, just as importantly, what you don’t.

-If you are new to this and not sure what you want, no problem, I can recommend creative websites for you to check out or you may want to do some exploring on your own. We can discuss this further.

-We’ll discuss options for hosting and domain registration. 

-Upon confirmation of your first website payment and receipt of your information (pics, etc.), I will begin setting up and building your website.

Fees and Payments

Website Fee

-$1,500 total per website, includes 3 months of upkeep and support (see maintenance, technical support & updates). 

Payment

-Initial Payment: $750 due to begin. Click blue button below.

-Final Payment: $750 due after final review. Click purple button below.

-Mode of Payment: This site uses Paypal which allows you to use your debit card if you have a Paypal account or a credit card if you don’t (but still through them). (Paying by check is possible if paying in full up front. Work begins once payment is received.)

***

**Costs outside of website building (responsibility of client):

Domain name – The client is responsible for the separate initial and recurring annual cost of their domain name registration. Upon request, I would be glad to advise you on the process or I can do it for you. Options and details will be addressed depending on your needs.

Hosting – The client is responsible for the separate initial and recurring annual cost of hosting. Again, upon request, I would be glad to advise you on the most affordable options. Monthly rates are cheaper if you pay up front for multiple years. For example, Bluehost recently offered a deal for $2.65/month for a basic plan when purchased for 3 years.  We can look for a deal like this as they come and go. They also offered a free domain name for one year (an available .com domain typically costs $11.99/year). We can discuss options and details before we begin.

***

Upkeep Billing and Payments

Once requested by client, upkeep and maintenance service beyond the initial 3 month period will be billed once a month at $18 per hour via Paypal, where you can use your debit or credit card.

Initial Payment $750
Final Payment $750
