My mentorship group focuses on elevating encaustic artists’ artistic voices and professional presence. Drawing from my two decades of experience as a professional artist and workshop instructor, I understand the challenges you face. My Artist Mentorship Sessions are designed to provide personalized feedback, career development, and skill development tailored to your unique journey. You can expect targeted, in-depth responses to their work, guidance on studio setup, supplies, and tools, and support in overcoming creative roadblocks.
In our sessions, you will receive comprehensive guidance on composition, design, and technical issues, along with insights into the accountability aspects of running an art business. This includes time management, identifying strengths, and recognizing potential pitfalls. My approach includes tailored assignments and feedback to help you develop a coherent body of work, achieve technical excellence, and set and achieve goals for a profitable creative practice. Additionally, I offer marketing support, career strategies, and resources for exhibitions, live or online, to help you expand your professional presence.
By participating in this mentorship group, you will be supported in creating authentic, personal work, and will benefit from a collaborative process where you actively contribute to your growth and development.

I can help with making your work–what you want to do- -as authentic and powerful as possible. Suggesting artists and techniques to checkout, figuring out what makes your work unique, and how to sort out all the chatter on what makes good art are some of my strengths.
We ask what what was in your mind when creating a piece, tell you what we see as your viewers, and how that affects or doesn’t affect what you do next. We talk about ways to make your own judgments about a piece and when the proper time to do that would be. We can talk about myths and preconceptions that will impede your progress.
The mentoring is to be guided by each of you. I’ll focus on your goals and aspirations and If I don’t know an answer, will come back with information after our session.
