— Susan Bennett, Website Design

“Full Circle Consulting did an amazing job creating my website. They are always helpful and knowledgeable.”

— Larinda Meade, Studio Organization & Archiving Services

“Kristin has worked with me on organizing my new studio and her ideas and skills definitely improved my studio space. Kristin and I worked together on documenting my work. She developed a system and was able to document my work in an efficient manner. The system was set up so that I could continue to document my work. Kristin is a joy to work with on projects. She is punctual, an incredibly hard worker, and a problem solver. I look forward to working with her again and highly recommend her for any artist consulting/services”

— Jeanne O'Toole Hayman, Gallery Submission Services + Studio Organization + Coaching

“Kristin is an individual who will work with an artist to encourage and promote the artist's best vision of their work.

An accomplished artist in her own right, she understands the needs of professional representation for the artist.

She has helped me personally, from the reorganizing and moving of my studio to the selection of work to be shown, through preparation and curating,  pricing and presenting and delivery of work to galleries.

I believe many artists find the business side of the profession rather daunting as much of our skills  are on the opposite side of the spectrum. Kristin provides meticulous archiving, cataloguing and organizing of work through to presentation and delivery of a comprehensive collection of work to the galleries. In this time of social distancing because of Covid, Kristin is also providing support and guidance for virtual showing and representation on social media and internet sites. I believe she offers invaluable assistance to any working artist.

She is more than competent to assist in preparation for gallery shows: gathering a cohesive body of work, determining scale and/or quantity, determining pricing, organizing/submitting paperwork (price list, resume, artist statement etc.), and delivery of work.

 Another aspect of Kristin’s assistance is the basic cataloguing and archiving of the artist's work...”

-Lisa Houck, Studio Organization & Production Assistance Services

“I hired Kristin to organize my studio and assist with the production of my art. I had recently moved into my studio space and never completely unpacked. Kristin went above and beyond just unpacking. She created systems and zones within the studio that were tailored to my specific needs. Every tool, every work of art has a “home.” Everything is organized, but organized in a way that helps my time in the studio be more productive. She arranged supplies, books and projects with my work flow in mind.

When assisting with the production of my work, Kristin is extremely detail oriented and always looking out for ways to be helpful but not intrusive. In terms of production, it is extremely difficult to find someone who can see the big picture and all the details simultaneously; she can. Kristin is able to intuitively know what I need next. I am a multidisciplinary artist and she is able to assist with mosaics, ceramics, printmaking and more. Kristin communicates well, she is on time for work and she is fun to be around. I would highly recommend Kristin to any artist looking for any type of assistance with their work and/or studio.”

— Tina Finlay, Coaching

I have achieved several goals with my art, finally at age 51, with the help of Full Circle Art Consulting. I struggled alone for years, trying to figure out what direction to go in, what to focus on, and how to manage pricing. Within the first meeting with Full Circle, I suddenly felt a solid sense of direction based on clearer goals. I felt understood, listened to, and that my artistic side was honored, while getting help with those aspects of the art business that I was unsure of or just flat out thought didn't matter. And as a result of our woek together, a combination of coaching and repping, despite going through a very difficult (unrelated) thing in my life, I now have art selling in stores! I am blown away by the wisdom and knowledge that Full Circle brings to their work, and I will continue to grow, with their help, achieving my dreams at midlife! It can be intimidating to spend money on yourself as an artist, thinking you can do it all, but it is an act of self-care to offload some of that stress or confusion so you can get on with what really nourishes you, which is creation. You ARE worth it and Full Circle is worth every penny. My only regret is that I waited so long to hire them. But I know to keep my eyes forward, looking toward rhe future, now brighter because I have Full Circle in my corner.

“As an artist trying to make a living, I’d rather spend my time painting than tweeting, instagramming or facebooking about my art. But these days, you pretty much need to do that to get your work out there and reach all available audiences. I could stumble through it badly, or I could call on someone like Abby. She’s young enough to know how to deftly use all this social media and old enough to be wise about her approach. 

Abby has worked in the art business for years, so she knows what buyers are looking for and what makes them tick. She can assess your portfolio and tell you where it’s weak or strong for the target customer you seek. She knows the art trends—because art is like fashion—and can guide you towards the community that wants your style of work.  I’ve seen her fly through the different social media avenues at a rate so fast that I can’t keep up. I've literally just handed her my smartphone and said, “Help!” 

Abby won’t shame you for not being on top of your social media game or even not knowing how to use your smartphone to its fullest in that realm. She understands what a thrill it is to sell your art, and she revels in it with you; she can instruct you on how to do better or she can literally just take over all of those tedious things we artists don’t enjoy doing so that we may concentrate on our true love—creating art.

I feel comfortable recommending Abby as a fun, bubbly, technically savvy partner in helping you as an artist weave your way through the ever-changing maze of the art world and have fun doing it.”
