Joining the Inner Circle is one of the best investments I have ever made in my artist career. Artist Kristy Gordon inspires members with talks on topics such as mastering Instagram; marketing your art and entering shows and competitions; creating artist e-newsletters and writing bios, CVs, and artist statements; designing logos and business/greeting cards and developing a catalogue of your work; setting goals and taking them into action; and identifying and clearing obstacles to your goals. The Inner Circle meetings are also a forum for sharing valuable current information such as how to attract galleries and buyers and even how to start teaching art!
Kristy also personally curates talks by successful artists and others on topics she knows her students want to hear about. Stephanie Sachs of Artists Make Money, who sold over $1 million in art outside of the gallery system, shared her insights about ways to make money as artists, and Ekaterina Popova, the founder of Create! Magazine, helped members learn about how to create their own art shows. Also, Halie Torris spoke on making and selling prints. All incredibly helpful information from people who made it happen!
I don’t know where else I could find this kind of up-to-date, expert information and assistance at this low cost—and from such an incredible artist and kind and knowledgeable person: Kristy Gordon. The Inner Circle is a friendly and spirited learning community that you will want to join too.

When I completed VAMP, I felt energized about the future, but I wasn’t exactly sure what direction to take. That changed during one of the Inner Circle calls, where something a guest said sparked an idea, what if I created my own art fair?
That single moment of inspiration gave me the push I needed. I remembered one of the VAMP sessions about how to approach venues and used the resources and templates from the program to craft a professional proposal. Drawing from the strategies we discussed, I reached out to a high-end hotel and to my surprise, they agreed to host the event at no cost!
What started as just a concept became a fully realized event. We’ve now held a successful fine art expo for two consecutive years, featuring both 2D and 3D artists. The tools, encouragement, and community from the VAMP Inner Circle played a pivotal role in helping me turn a vague idea into a professional, well-executed reality.
I’m incredibly grateful for the confidence and clarity the VAMP Inner Circle helped me build, it truly changed the way I see what’s possible.

When I completed VAMP, I felt excited to finally have the tools and a sense of authentic expression — but I wasn’t quite sure what to do next. The art show and daily devotions really helped me understand the need to focus on artmaking as a process, not just the end product. That shift was huge. My new mantra? It’s not about perfection—it’s a practice, a rhythm, a daily experiment in exploring joy.
Then, one of the Inner Circle calls really inspired me — it was all about teaching. That call lit a fire in me. Shortly after, I took the leap and lined up my first class series for July! It felt like a natural next step, and I never would have done it without that spark from the Inner Circle.
Since the program ended, I’ve secured shared studio space at a local community art studio, participated in my first open studios, and—maybe best of all—I’m feeling so much more connected to creative spirits in my neighborhood.

Before joining VAMP, I was already making art for clients regularly, but I was craving more clarity and confidence in my personal work. Kristy’s program helped me reconnect with what I care about most in my art, and now I’m creating original pieces that feel deeply personal and genuinely exciting to me.
The Inner Circle has helped keep that momentum going - it’s such a supportive space to reflect, stay inspired, and keep growing alongside other dedicated artists. I even got to share my live wedding painting experience on a call with the Inner Circle, which was super exciting and reignited my love of teaching!

Whenever I ask Kristy for advice, I always wonder why I waited so long—every single time! That’s exactly how I feel about the VAMP Inner Circle. If you’re hesitating, you might ask yourself: What could I be missing out on? The answer is a wealth of insights you won’t easily find elsewhere. From uncovering financial opportunities in the art world to gaining invaluable business tips, the VAMP Inner Circle has opened doors I didn’t even know existed. The connections with fellow VAMP members and interviewed guests have been just as enriching, making this journey truly worth it for me!
