Adrienne Fritze is in the midst of living the life of her dreams – even if she forgets it’s so.

She is…

…inspired by the love she experiences with her children and immediate family (which includes her lovely mother and generous former husband);

…driven by her need to be a contribution;

…grateful to be an articulate artist in whatever media/medium she chooses

…humbled by the support and involvement of her community.

Thank you for spending time on her blog. Let her know if something she posts here makes a difference in the quality of your life.

Here’s a bit about me that I wrote for my profile on Biznik.com

What you do best

Three things:

1) Reacquaint people with their fondest desires and cherished dreams–starting with their business endeavors, which spills over into all other areas of their lives…

2) Help them uncover and move past whatever mental and emotional garbage is getting in the way of fulfilling on those desires, and

3) Give them real-world tools to fulfill those cherished dreams.

Here are some unsolicited quotes from folks in my professional life (I was thrilled to find these posted on another business networking website – I had no idea these wonderful people had taken time to do this!)

“Adrienne Fritze, president of the Portland arts incubator Working Artists, LLC, combines heart, soul and fire into a combustible force for promotion and support of the arts and the creative community here in Portland. As an artist herself, Adrienne understands the creative process, but she also understands the realities of business. She is exceptional in bringing together people from her extensive network of contacts–that include artists (of course), public officials, real estate developers, social service professionals, business consultants, angel investors and so on–and creating liaisons that help to raise awareness of the importance of including arts in daily life. At Working Artists, Adrienne continues to define, develop and manage facilities, services and guerilla business training for artists and the creative community. I’ve worked with Adrienne to help her get the word out about her organization and her vision…and frankly…she’s just a little too shy about her own amazing accomplishments! Go, Adrienne, go!” August 11, 2007

“Adrienne crossed my life over nine years ago. She is such an energetic and creative person. It is hard to believe someone has so much on the ball and loves every minute of it. She strives to see beneath the surface and delve into what is best for all. Her background has groomed her to be of value to many people and her passion surfaces all the time. If you are interested in someone that has a very large heart and brain and numerous contacts you need to know Adrienne” August 11, 2007
