Meet Dionne Woods

Hi, I’m Dionne Woods! I’m an artist, business owner, and creative business coach. In my work, I use signature layering and blending techniques to create one-of-a-kind statement pieces. I also offer professional tools, paint workshops, and online communities designed to elevate and amplify artists from all backgrounds. I especially love my work as a creative coach who encourages artists to embrace the things that make them unique and translate that into art.

As part of my mission to empower creatives, I have launched Paint Talks, a podcast designed to share the true, inspiring stories of creatives from all walks of life. I also founded The Turquoise Iris Journal, a digital magazine by and for creatives, filled with tutorials, step-by-step projects, and powerful messages of community and hope.

I live with my husband, and sons in beautiful Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. When I’m not traveling the US to help artists awaken their creativity, I spend my time with my family!

A key piece of advise given to me years ago was to create what you need and cannot find elsewhere. 
I needed mindset work. ( big time! ) 
I needed business advise.
I needed paint tutorials. 
I needed help with shipping.
I needed accountability.
I needed other creative people and a SAFE place to share my disappointments and wins, both. 

So, if you’ve read this far, you may be in the same boat as I was years ago. 

I’m ready to dive in and help you with your creative business. Our creative connection group digs into every aspect of starting small and growing without limits. I know there’s a lot to cover, but I’ve got you. Let’s get started!
