About the Mentorship
My Mentoring is designed specifically for artists that are working in the realist tradition—whether you’re just beginning your artistic journey or you’re an experienced artist facing professional challenges. I’ll meet you exactly where you are, addressing questions from traditional painting methods and technique improvement, to more advanced topics like building a cohesive portfolio, preparing for competitions, art residencies, or gallery applications. Or help you to plan and develop your project.
Each session is completely personalized to your individual goals and can include:
- Direct, actionable advice to help you identify strengths and weaknesses clearly, enhancing the quality of your paintings.
- Strengthening foundational skills or tackling painting problems.
- Curating and preparing your work for submissions to exhibitions, competitions, residencies, or gallery representation.
- Defining clear, achievable steps toward your artistic and professional objectives to keep you motivated and focused.

What’s Included
• One-on-one mentorship session (60 or 30 minutes via Google Meet). Personalized guidance tailored to your goals, questions, and current body of work.
• Pre-session review of your portfolio or selected pieces. I’ll take time before our call to get familiar with your work so we can use the session efficiently.
• Follow-up notes or resources. After our call, I’ll send a short recap with key takeaways, reading suggestions, or artist references when helpful.
