14 Weeks to BLOOM
your Art and Life
Introducing the
2025 Creative Dream Team:
The Art2Life Coaches
Nicholas is the founder of Art2Life, a platform that helps people discover and ignite their art using a new approach to creativity and life.
He is also a practicing fine artist. His paintings are seen in yearly gallery exhibitions, International Art Fairs, and are included in numerous private and corporate collections in the United States and Europe.
Nicholas speaks and writes extensively on the process of creativity, inspiration, and purpose in art and life.
Creating captivating artwork alive with vibrant hues and rich texture, Nadine Johnson channels delight and sentimentality in her paintings. The Calgary-based artist, was nurtured within a family of Lebanese, Ukrainian, Scottish, and English origins, where artistry flowed through their veins. Drawing inspiration from her multicultural heritage, Johnson’s intuitive approach to abstract painting embodies the essence of family, community, and connection. Nadine is a CVP alumnus and member of the Art2life coaching team.
Insa is an artist from Germany. Her work is based on classical painting techniques with a preference for realism – but she also works with abstraction to develop pictorial spaces using form and color. Insa helps others find their artistic voice by teaching them the basics of craftsmanship and design, as well as promoting an awareness of the benefits of playful learning and the harnessing of intuition.
Insa is a guest coach with Art2Life.
Amy Brakeman Livezey is a figurative artist. She began as a filmmaker but later followed the call to paint. Her paintings are explorations of history using paint, photographic finds, pieces of paper old and new, and a variety of tools to build up and then mine the images for a fresh look at the past. Layers and abstraction serve as an homage to the complexity of this endeavor – the chaos of the moment and our ever-changing cultural perspectives.
Amy is a CVP alumnus and a member of the Art2Life coaching team.
Kate is an English landscape painter, primarily inspired by colour, light and a feeling of space. She sketches plein air and then works in her studio to create evocative paintings with a strong sense of place that go beyond obvious observation. Kate embraces balancing abstraction with representation using a variety of medium.
Kate is a graduate of Edinburgh College of Art and also trained at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Strasbourg and Central St Martins in London. Kate is a CVP alumnus and a member of the Art2Life coaching team.
Szot (b. 1976) has exhibited his work in many galleries across the United States from New York to Los Angeles and Texas. Szot’s paintings have been exhibited in the Saatchi Gallery in London and, in 2014, the artist was invited to participate in the Whitney Museum Art Party. His work is in public collections, including Credit Suisse, and numerous private collections, such as Beth DeWoody and the Bass Family.
The artist currently lives and works in New York City and Los Angeles.
Marjorie was a jewelry artist for 10 years before returning to painting in 2011. She has found expression in her artwork through several mediums including encaustic, oil and cold wax and most recently acrylic painting. Her work has always been inspired by nature: organic forms, currents, flow, cycles, seasons, land, water, sky, and the living things that dwell in those spaces. It is about color, line, texture, nature – seeing the world from a different perspective and finding the sweet spot that lies between abstraction and realism. Marjorie is a CVP alumnus and member of the Art2Life coaching team.

We work with joy because why wouldn’t we? It makes the process more fun and it absolutely makes the work better.
Bonny is a North Yorkshire based, globally renowned coloured pencil artist, specialising in creating realistic pet portraits.
As a proud mum to three very lovely (and sometimes very naughty) dogs and one very calm cat, she knows how important our pets are to us.
She wants to help other pet lovers around the world remember their much-loved animals forever, with a lifelike portrait that can be kept and cherished for years to come.
Doug Hammett is an artist and performer whose work thrives on spontaneity and discovery. Born in Pasadena, CA, he holds a BFA from the University of Redlands and an MFA from Art Center College of Design. His creative process is guided by intuition, allowing abstract forms to evolve into magical creatures, vivid narratives, and immersive theatrical experiences. Whether painting, illustrating, or performing, Doug embraces the unknown, trusting that each piece will reveal itself over time.
His projects, such as the book “How Color Created the World” and the tarot deck “Journey of the Bearded Tarot,” exemplify his organic approach to storytelling. In theater, Doug lets costumes, props, and improvisation shape his performances, crafting dreamlike, psychologically charged narratives. His work balances logic with intuition, inviting viewers into worlds that are both surprising and deeply engaging.
Brad Davis has been drawn to art since childhood, continuously finding new ways to express his creativity. His artistic journey led him to painting and assemblage sculpture, where he explores diverse mediums such as paint, paper, wood, and metal. Each piece he creates develops its own distinct style, shaped by his intuitive approach to materials and composition.
Inspired by nature, Davis incorporates the vibrant hues of reds, oranges, and yellows found in the natural world. The rich textures and organic forms of the landscape influence his work, allowing him to capture its beauty and dynamism in both painting and sculpture.
Danielle LaPorte is the creator of the Heart Centered Membership and the Heart Centered Leadership Program, supporting 400+ leaders in 30 countries through conversation circles, retreats, and workshops.

BLOOMING Sessions --
Co-Art Making Sessions
There is one thing we know at Art2Life that makes learning and making art easier. Community.
This year, you no longer have to make your art alone. Instead, you can make art alongside your friends in the virtual CVP BLOOMING Sessions. These are held on Fridays during key weeks of CVP, with a flexible time window to join in from wherever you are.
In these co-art making sessions, you can connect, share, and stay inspired and motivated by the community. Now, no matter where you are in the world or in what time zone, you can join the CVP BLOOMING Sessions. Stay for an hour or 5 hours! The studio is waiting, and it will be full of inspired and motivated artists worldwide.
BONUS: Our first BLOOMING Session will happen during the first two weeks of CVP and will be exclusively for Alumni ONLY!

The CVP 2025 14th Week
CVP is the most concentrated art/life instructional program available online or offline in the world. Over the past 10 years of running CVP, we have learned that you don’t need MORE information but more TIME to assimilate the principles and perfect the techniques already provided in CVP.
So this year, we are adding a 2nd rest week. During the two rest weeks, the program will pause so that everyone can take a breath and spend more time calmly looking back over what might need to be relearned, clarified, or experimented on without concern for keeping up.

It is just a fact that over time you improve, especially if you are following the CVP path. Your greater art awaits you in CVP 2025.

Coming to CVP for the first time, whether as a new artist or an established one, can feel like drinking from a fire hose. But CVP meets you where you are and so coming to it for a second time is an entirely different experience. The principals are the same, and the amount of information is the same – but YOU are different. You’re not in the same place in your art (or possibly your life) as you were when you took CVP the first time. This time around, CVP feels less like a fire hose and more like a fountain to refresh yourself under or a warm bath to bathe in. Comfortable, familiar, and nourishing. And knowing what’s ahead gives you the opportunity to set an intention about what to focus on. This year it may be a deep dive into value and design, next year it may be color you wish to explore more fully. You have the opportunity to make the most of this extraordinary program from a more knowledgeable and relaxed perspective. Like many returning alumni, you can look forward to lots of ah-ah moments as concepts that may not have been so relevant or obvious to you a year before becoming the catalysts that help propel you and your art to the next level.
