"I am discovering all the places in my art that need improvement for a well rounded portfolio. This helps me gain confidence over fear of failure. 

I am happily buzzing around like a bee gathering nectar"

- Donna Marshall, LYA Alumni 2021

"I still come back and refer to the course two years after taking it! 

I launched my own illustration Instagram, crafted my own illustration brand, and am in the beginning stages of crafting a book!"

- Holly Marsh, LYA Alumni 2020

"I’ve built a consistent art practice, and have more confidence in myself and why I was out here on this planet: art and loving people. I think taking this course truly has altered so many things for me and to think that this is only the beginning!"

- Lacey Green, LYA Alumni 2021

"Practical, Informative, Valuable.  [Since LYA] I copyrighted my images, hired an attorney, revamped my website, started pitching for licensing opportunities and am in the process of looking at wholesale markets."

- Luisa Nazzaro, LYA Alumni

- Alexandria Chen, LYA Alumni  

"If you are wondering if you should invest in this course, you should. I told my husband that the amount of time and money I would spend on my own to get all the content Stacie provides would be tenfold, at least."

- Erica Ridout, LYA Alumni 

Since Leverage Your Art, Rebecca has licensed her artwork to a fabric company and a tea towel company and has her products in over a dozen stores!

"I signed up for Leverage immediately after convincing my husband that it would change everything...lol... and then I convinced two of my girlfriends to take it with me, ha! I was so blown away by [Stacie's] generosity in sources and information that you gave us, it was a Christmas miracle! Leverage made me look at the work I had created in the last five years and think about how I could maximize that work. I have been wholesaling for five years and Leverage opened my eyes to new ways to get my products in stores and how to pitch myself with efficiency. 
I feel confident. My wheels are turning and I am super inspired. Since the class ended last summer, I have formed a new LLC, copyrighted 20 pieces, talked with a wholesale rep and created a pitching schedule for stores and licensing! I have also created tea towels, washi tape and sticker all using existing artwork!  have two kids, I am a stay at home mom and I appreciated the realness in all of the live calls."

- Rebecca Woolbright, 2020 Alumni

"If you are considering taking 'Leverage Your Art' by Stacie Bloomfield, do it!  Invest in yourself and your business.  I have been in business as a linocut artist for many years yet knew I wanted some guidance.  This 8 week class covered a wide variety of topics from licensing to pitching to book writing and just about everything in between. Stacie was thorough and personal, generous and professional.  I now have information I can continue to access and implement.  I am so thankful for this class as I now feel like I can grow my business at my own pace and in a myriad of ways.  Thank you Stacie! "

- Sarah May, Block21

"LYA really changed the way I do business and create new artwork. The well-organized and easy to understand lessons helped me to see where I needed to make changes in my business so that I could work smarter, not harder. Thank you, Stacie, for creating this wonderful class and taking the time to share your knowledge in such a kind, fun, and approachable way! Since completing Leverage Your Art, I have designed an entire new product line that will be launching very soon. I would never have been able to do it without taking Leverage and I find myself revisiting the lessons again and again."

"I have to say I sat on the fence deciding whether to do it right up till the last minute, but I took the leap of faith and invested in my business and myself and I’m SO glad I did because it’s really paid off. I’ve been a Graphic Designer for over 25 years and now I love that I feel confident in calling myself a Surface Designer as well. Stacie is so authentic and really teaches from her heart. She comes with an abundance of knowledge of the industry which she openly and happily shares with the Leverage community. As a student you really feel like she genuinely cares and wants to help you succeed. 

- Jodie Warters

"Stacie's course saved 2020 for me! It gave me direction, validation for the dreams I've been kicking around for years, and support as I got started with actually pursuing them. Now I'm consistently pitching my work for licensing and making tangible moves toward wholesale. My website is also 1000% more focused and usable than it was before the course. I've come SO FAR since the class started, and I owe it all to Stacie! Her approachable, open, no-BS teaching style was exactly what I needed to find my own confidence as a creative business owner and as a human."

- Hannah VanDuinen, Birds Blossoms

"I’ve been been working in a creative field for the last 20 years, but never for myself. I am also a ceramic artist and love drawing on paper and on my pots. I thought of starting to sell my own home decor products and then surface pattern design came into my orbit. I wasn’t really sure how to get started. So last summer I made a leap and decided to invest in the Leverage Your Art course by Stacie Bloomfield. It’s a very intensive and comprehensive 8-week course. Stacie takes you through a 360º view of creative entrepreneur’s business, teaches about multiple revenue streams and all the different ways you can monetize your artwork. Stacie’s enthusiasm and sincerity is infectious and she really genuinely wants to help everyone succeed. I decided to work on art licensing income stream first and have focused on building my surface design portfolio.  I can definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to become a creative entrepreneur."

- Asta Bubliene, Leverage Your Art Alumni

 "Hi Stacie, I just wanted to reach out and say that your course Leverage Your Art has changed my life. ️I just launched my own website today and I’m already feeling my energy shift. I can’t begin to tell you how amazing the course was and how much I got out of it. I’m on a path to something I’ve been dreaming about for years. Thank you for being yourself and to put so much love and hard work into the course. This Canadian girl is forever grateful."

- Cristine Jamieson

"[LYA] was just the right information, encouragement and push that I needed to move forwards in my career. I've gotten several freelance jobs since the class, so the investment into myself paid itself multiple times over already. Stacie was present for the students during and after the class, the Q&A sessions were awesome. I had all my questions answered. Stacie is genuine, honest and approachable, and her style of teaching fit me perfectly." 

- Mirka Hokkanen

"Than you for the loads of information, help, and encouragement of [Leverage Your Art]. It is propelling me from where I am, giving me a zoom in and out perspective to take advantage of what is in front of me.  I am in my 4th year as a part-time freelance artist and Stacie and her team have shone light in achievable practices that make my art stronger and cohesive, building systems that support my goals. The expert guests made it a full learning experience. 

- Cristina Kramp   

"I am an empty nester starting a career over again at 57 after leaving the corporate world (I had enough!). Meeting you virtually (and your team/ the group has been a light in my life).  Having access to your authentic videos and the tons of pertinent information you passed along is simply amazing! Creating pattern designs, art prints, building my portfolio and website has been my focus. I have been able to keep going even when life feels so overwhelming."
