ONE ARTIST'S STORY...
"For me the biggest thing is not worrying about income. I have stopped striving. Knowing that I am
using my gifting for His glory whether obvious to others or not, assures me I am on the right path
and I simply don't worry about money. And funnily enough my bank account is bulging."

Are you an artist who struggles with balancing your art and the demands of everyday life?
Do you dream of one day pursuing your art part-time or full-time and actually creating an income from teaching or art sales? Would you actually pursue your dream of thriving as an artist if you had someone to show you the way, step by step? If you answered yes to any or all of those questions, then you're in the right place! I'm artist coach Matt Tommey and I want to live in a world where artists thrive spiritually, creatively and financially in everything they do! However, I’m always saddened when I hear stories from incredible artists who say things like “I’m just not about the make a living with my art” or refer to themselves as the typical “starving artist” who has lots of heart and talent but struggles to make ends meet. I want you to experience life and creativity as it was meant to be lived; exciting, joyful and abundant! To help you, I’ve created a online artist mentorship group to help you do just that. See, this could be your breakthrough year! The year you bust through all those roadblocks, self-defeating habits and mindsets that have held you back for years. The year you start selling your art and authentically connecting with clients. The year you start creating with the Holy Spirit and actually start living the abundant life you know you were created to live as an artist in God's Kingdom.

"I had no clue joining Created to Thrive required tearing down invisible walls I thought were torn down already. I read “Unlocking the Heart of The Artist” 1 1/2 yrs. ago & taught a prophetic painting class who also read it... When I joined this group, I had been sick for almost 2 mos. I felt God’s healing river flowing & began to feel improved - now I’m well. I do believe God’s healing river through your ministry will also bring increased wholeness. Appropriating what I know He’s already done..." Mary Edwards, artist
"Created to Thrive is already exceeding my expectations in terms of the amount of mentoring Matt Tommey is providing! There is a wealth of information available to us. His approach is for the artist as a whole. The community offers varied talent, experience and support . I'm extremely blessed to be a part of it." Yvonne Palmer, artist
"After releasing three albums independently, I hit a dark valley of depression with my music that didn't lift for four years. Nothing seemed to help. I tried self-motivation, goal setting, counseling and even deliverance sessions. Since I have joined Matt Tommey's mentoring group, I have seen marked change in a matter of weeks. The Truth that Matt speaks is setting me free -- Jesus is setting me free." Gabe Gibitz, musician
"Created to Thrive Mentoring group has been solid, spirit-led teaching about thriving as a Christian artist. Matt's commitment and support to this group has been inspiring and very encouraging. There are artists at all levels of their journey and situation and he has adapted the content to this broad group by asking for feedback and questions that he can cover after his main teaching for that week. I highly recommend this group." Wendy Marett, Artist and Teacher
"This group is a blessing on so many levels. Matt shares his business savvy and insight on creating with The Creator, while we are growing into a community of artists encouraging one another to strive for excellence. I'm so glad to be a part of it!” Robin Popp, artist
"The Created to Thrive Experience has opened up a whole world of possibilities I didn't see before in my craft. I have gained a wealth of information about myself, the Father, and the art world from being part of this community. I would recommend it to anyone." Jennifer Spangler, artist

"I am thrilled to have found your program. I’m in a marketing group already which has been helpful. But listening to your integration of faith, art practice and art business is EXACTLY what I’ve experienced and have been journaling about for the last year by myself. I love the idea of support and the teaching in that context."
