Comments of Richard's Former Clients:

Richard's heart-based approach as a coach gently encourages you to tap into your
creative reserves, whether for the first time or after a hiatus, is as
inspiring as it is nurturing.

Elizabeth Macisco ~ MBA & Song Writer ~

This fall I participated in the Artist's Way Support Group facilitated by
Richard Marks, MA. The experience was excellent. Richard's steady and
constant nurturing allowed class members to experience a safe and supportive
environment where creativity could blossom. This nurturing, combined with
the consistency of weekly scheduled meeting times enabled a great deal of
creative growth and exploration to take place within a short time frame. As
a result, I feel much closer to my creativity and am empowered to continue
moving forward in my creative endeavors. I would highly recommend working with Richard
to anyone interested in enhancing their creativity within a short time
frame, whether for personal or professional reasons.

Alan Young ~ Recording Engineer & Comedy Writer ~

Richard Marks is a remarkable man who provides an environment for those in
his workshops to feel comfortable, safe, supported and simultaneously be
highly challenged and courageous in opening the floodgates of their
creativity (it was very wet ). I believe we all came away from the workshop
pretty revved up, exponentially more productive and artistically inventive
in our lives.

Jules Rathmeyer ~ Poet & Writer ~

Richard taught me how to receive the blessings of a creative life. Through
Richard's guidance and support I was able to understand how creativity in
our daily lives enriches us not only in art making but in work, play and
love as well.

Trinette Reed ~ Fine Art Photographer & Poet

The Artist Way Group helped me to identify my blocks and move through them
with love, acceptance, and openness. This class helped me to get out of my
own way and open myself to the limitless possibilities that are within me.
It has helped me to become more disciplined and committed about letting the
creative force move through me and guide me into my true purpose. It has
also helped me to believe in myself and trust in the creative process more.
Richard is the most supportive person I know, he sees the creative seed
within us and he lovingly nurtures that seed until it blooms. Richard has
been an essential part of my process of becoming a professional artist. In
my times of deepest self-doubt, Richard has provided a safe space and
absolute steadfast commitment and faith to my artistic vision. His love,
support, faith, and knowledge of the creative process has been an invaluable
gift to me.
