I'm Kat YOUR NEW COACH AND CHEERLEADER
Meet Ekaterina Popova: Your Certified MasterCoach, Entrepreneur, Multi-Passionate Creator & Artist-In-Digital-Residence
Did you know that I’m a Russian immigrant who went to a small state university, couch surfed for months, and had to eat my share of humble pie?
Yup! But along the way, I’ve managed to grow my business to six figures, exhibit and sell my work all over the world, and be featured in multiple blogs and publications, including Colossal, Flow Magazine, and The Philadelphia Inquirer. I’ve completed sought-after art residencies across the globe and manifested a dream studio and lifestyle.
When I’m not in the zone working on my oil paintings, I spend my time sharing my mindset, systems, and processes for building a thriving art business with creators like YOU.
Because if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s this: we can’t wait around for our dreams to come to life! I want to help you find the pathway to attract the opportunities you deserve and make sure you get there.
ARTIST, HYPE GIRL, CERTIFIED MASTER COACH, WRITER, DOG MAMA, AND stationary FANATIC.
"This profound mindset shift means I literally doubled my income over the past two years since I started working with her [Kat]."
