What you will learn in this mentorship

• I’m inspired by mentoring artists who are ready to refine and deepen their mastery of acrylic techniques. I’ve built a thriving career that balances professional success with creative joy, and I understand the challenge of staying creatively alive while sustaining a mature practice. As a mentor, I help established artists move beyond plateaus, reconnect with the excitement in their work, and sharpen their artistic voice. I’m excited to bring my experience and enthusiasm to supporting others to grow, flourish, and fall in love with their practice all over again.
• NOTE: This group’s meeting time is Monday evening in North America, and Tuesday morning in Australia/NZ.

Mentorship Focus

1. To find your Hero, to identify the four places your art can be wrong, and how to self-critique and troubleshoot all the way to full resolution of each painting.
2. To explore color, texture, and composition fearlessly, discovering your own visual language while building strong technical and archival foundations.
3. To see the world with fresh, excited eyes, translating the vibrancy of nature and everyday life into expressive, layered paintings.
4. To approach art with bravery, curiosity and discipline, learning practical techniques while cultivating your unique style and voice. Never be afraid of paint again.
5. To embrace experimentation and the joy of surprise in your creative process, turning mistakes into delicious opportunities for growth.
