What you will learn in this mentorship

• Helping artists find their voice, not just their style.
• Whether you’re returning to art after a break or you’ve been painting for years but feel stuck, this group is designed to help you move your practice forward with confidence and purpose. Together we’ll explore concept development, storytelling, composition, colour, materials and technique, while developing work that feels authentic to your own creative voice.
• Alongside practical feedback, we’ll also discuss the realities of building a professional art practice: from branding and marketing to pricing, portfolio development and finding your place in the art world. I can help you create stronger, more meaningful work while building a creative practice that’s uniquely your own.
• NOTE: This group meets first Wednesday in Australia time zones.

Mentorship Focus

1. How to build an authentic artist brand that reflects your work, values and creative voice.
2. How to confidently critique your own work, solve creative problems, and move beyond feeling stuck.
3. How to think more deeply about your creative decisions, so your choice of materials, techniques and composition all work together to support your ideas.
4. How to develop a distinctive artistic voice and create cohesive bodies of work with purpose and meaning.
5. How to create a sustainable creative business by thoughtfully expanding beyond original artwork into prints, products and other professional opportunities.
