What Our Members Say:

  • My goal was to take this path seriously, and becoming a member of Rise and Repaint gave me the tools, structure, and inspiration I needed to truly walk it. What I love most is that we all grow together, and as members, we also get to shape the space. I especially enjoy the interview series, and I can already picture myself listening to a Rise and Repaint podcast someday!

    Thank you so much for everything you and Liezel do.

    — Kristina, CT South Africa

  • I’ve been part of Where Are The Women Artists and Art Girl Rising since 2021 on a smaller scale, so I was thrilled when I learned that Pegah and Liezel were gearing up to launch the Rise & Repaint network. Their genuineness and enthusiasm for championing women and non-binary artists, as well as providing valuable access to art-world insights, have been truly inspiring. Two months into Rise & Repaint, their dedication and passion have only deepened.

    — Teresa, BC Canada

  • The monthly themes are focused and reflective, prompting me to dive deeper into the ‘why’ of my work and strengthen my artistic practice. The Gallery Talks and Art Professional Talks have been especially enlightening. Pegah and Liezel have introduced us to incredibly approachable, insightful professionals who plant seeds of possibility and open doors to new opportunities.

    — Teresa, BC Canada

  • Thank you! Yes, it's been so wonderful! You and Pegah are doing an awesome job! I really appreciate all the reflection questions, it's helped me connect some dots in my work. I'm definitely spreading the word about R&R and will keep doing so!

    — Rosie, TN United States

  • The membership was a Christmas gift in 2025, and I have to say, it's the best present I’ve ever received. Every week still feels like Christmas. You and Liezel are both so special, and the space you create—week after week and in between—for us artists is truly magical. I feel seen, heard, and deeply supported on my creative journey.

    — Kristina, CT South Africation goes here

  • There is something powerful about coming together for reflection and discussion to bring about personal growth as an artist and R&R has created the perfect space for both. The conversations are relevant, authentic and empowering as guided by Pegah and Liesel and I’m here for it.

The network's ethos is clear, and it's evident how much thought and care goes into every aspect.

  • The program offerings are fantastic. The weekly "Art & Chill" sessions provide an engaging space to connect with fellow artists, while the monthly artist professional and gallery talks offer invaluable insights into the art world. Everyone who has spoken in those talks has been so genuine and generous! The fact that all sessions are recorded is a huge plus, allowing me to catch up on anything I have to miss out on live.

    — Jen, GA United States

  • I also appreciate the thoughtfully curated monthly themes. How each topic is explored week by week allows for a deep dive into the subject matter, and a way to build upon the concept. It provides a richness of content that's truly beneficial to navigating the business and life of being an artist.
