Marie-Noëlle Wurm

<h2 style="">🌿 Welcome to My Cozy Little Art Cafe — A Gentle New Path for Your Art Journey 🌿</h2>Hi, my name is Marie-Noëlle Wurm, and I'm a French-American-German artist &amp; illustrator living in the South of France! 👋🙂 On Skillshare, I’m a Top Teacher who loves helping creatives like you gently break free from fear and perfectionism, so you can fall back in love with making art.But here on Patreon.... we go deeper.This is where I share the best of my teaching, creative process, and inspirations — with monthly live art classes that dive deep into building your skills while keeping the joy of making art alive. These are unique, in-depth classes you won’t find anywhere else.🍃<h2 style="">🌸 Why I Created This Space</h2>I've always considered my artwork to be small windows into a vast inner world that's ever-shifting, things emerging &amp; disappearing, morphing and shifting, settling &amp; breathing, like us, like life, like how we change our lives and how life changes us. Our inner landscapes are vast &amp; beautiful and worthy of our love, a delicate focus inwards so we can expand outwards, renewed.Sometimes we lose our way creatively. But I believe with the right tools, inspiration, and community, we can always find our path back.<blockquote style="">“Let us not curse the darkness. Let us kindle little lights.” — Dada Vaswani</blockquote>I created this space to be one of those lights. Whether you're returning to art or growing a steady practice, I’d love to welcome you in.By joining my Patreon community, you'll be gaining access to things I don't share anywhere else.

It was such an enjoyable experience and I can't express how valuable our session was! Marie-Noëlle was very friendly and listened to all of my concerns and questions about my art practice and career. Her suggestions, insights and valuable feedback on my art have been very beneficial for my artistic journey. Her expertise in the art world shines through as she also provided me with practical strategies to enhance my artistic skills. Marie-Noëlle is not just a remarkable artist but also an exceptional and empowering coach and teacher. I can't express enough gratitude for the guidance and inspiration Marie-Noëlle provided me during and after our session. I highly recommend this experience to fellow artists of all levels seeking mentorship and guidance. Thank you Marie-Noëlle!" — Alicia R."I noticed Marie-Noëlle on Skillshare and took several art coaching sessions over a period of a few months to get more clarity about my art making, discuss own pieces/get feedback, and talk through a few other topics such as notan composition and social media behaviour. I found Marie-Noëlle to be an excellent coach, taking time to understand my needs and helping me to find my own answers while still providing guidance and her own perspective. She is also a very pleasant person to talk to and made me feel at ease from the start. The coaching work indeed clarified the questions I had and path I want to take. I would certainly work with Marie-Noëlle again in the future." — Andrej"It has been amazing to work with Marie-Noëlle! I initially hesitated to sign up for one-on-one lessons, but I’m glad I did! Creating art is often a solitary endeavor; occasionally, it’s nice to have company. And working collaboratively, Marie-Noëlle has been an absolute joy. She is exceptionally supportive and patient. I have noticed a drastic increase in my creativity. The most significant benefit I have received from working with Marie-Noëlle is increased consistency in my creative practice. Let’s be real… It's hard to rely on willpower to create regularly, and working from a home studio can get lonely; it’s nice to have someone alongside me from time to time. She has become somewhat of an accountability partner, one I am very thankful to have!" — Trelawny"The coaching session was one of the most rewarding interactions I’ve had with artists. Marie-Noëlle is a very intuitive person. She has chosen very carefully what kind of questions to ask me. During our discussion I could understand better the patterns of my behaviour regarding the creative process. The interesting questions Marie-Noëlle asked me led to several ideas of how to relax more while drawing in my notebook and how to explore a different creative approach. It was a unique experience having her tête-à-tête, even through a zoom call. She is an incredible artist, very brave in exploring new areas and also with a beautiful inner world, ready to share it with others. Thank you, Marie-Noëlle, for who you are!" — Tatiana @tatiana.marza"I had the privilege of having a 1-on-1 coaching session withMarie-Noëlle Wurm and I would highly recommend the experience to other creatives! Marie-Noëlle is an artist and teacher I admire and respect. She has so much knowledge and gentle inspiring wisdom to share. I left feeling empowered in my art practice and more confident in the artwork I am making. A unique creative voice I truly can't recommend more highly." — Em @fern.thistleIf you're curious about coaching and want to have a free 15 min introductory call to see if we're a good fit, then please just write me a message and I'll set us up with a zoom call!
