Talks & Workshops
The Dots Between offers workshops on key financial literacy topics in a way that is compelling, content rich and applicable to artists from any medium and career stage.
While basic financial literacy and education are lacking in almost every segment of our society, artists are some of the least likely professionals to receive advice or education in financial planning.
Artists face financial issues similar to entrepreneurs and the self-employed, but professionals in non-arts fields have more resources, information and professional advice written specifically for their field of practice to help them navigate their career challenges.
My workshops bring together the knowledge I gained as a UBS financial advisor managing high net worth clients combined with my work since 2020 serving hundreds of artists on the topics most pertinent to them--saving, investing, managing debt, uneven income and multiple revenue streams.
