I was speaking with my friend, Kelli France, and discovered she is offering an online mentoring course. In the past few years I have come to respect Kelli as both an artist and a businesswoman. If I have a question, I always love knowing what she thinks about it. If you are looking for a mentor, she would be fabulous!
Here’s some info on Francypants Academy (love the name!)…
Why go to a workshop when you can have hands-on learning experiences from home?!
