Hey There!
What is an artist mentorship exactly?
Remember all those times you wished you had someone to talk to about your art? Or how you’ve always wanted to start painting and possibly explore abstraction but didn’t even know where to begin? Or do you want delve deeper into the abstract painting process? Consider me your personal art buddy! Think of me as someone who's been down the abstract rabbit hole a lot and is here to answer your questions, from picking out supplies, how to mix color, or strengthen your compositions . Then there’s the business part such as, how to photograph, size, and inventory your work, establish naming conventions or how to save your images safely and where. The list goes on.
Maybe you took some abstract art classes that got you started and now have many more questions to ask and don’t know who to ask them of. Or maybe you're a follower who's been curious about my process. Either way, this is your chance to take things to the next level. Ask me anything – about creating killer abstracts, what tools to stock up on, or even how to present your artwork for social media. Let's get your creative journey either begun or back on track!
This offering is not for an advanced artist, an artist looking for gallery representation, or an artist looking for a licensing deal.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
At the beginning with paint, paper or canvas and desire. That is really all it takes. You just need to begin.
-
Absolutely. But first I would ask you what you think is wrong. And then, what you were trying to say, and the impulse that led you to paint it. Then we can dive deeper into color, design and composition.
-
I would first ask you to show me a piece of your work and have you tell me where you think it is having trouble. Then we can discuss the ways to correct or enhance. If you want more basic color theory help, I can advise you there as well.
-
Yes, absolutely. I have a system in place that I use and wil share my method for photographing, saving and how to develop a naming convention for your files in order o keep a streamlined libary of your work.
-
I can give you color theory basics as well as help you learn to see color. Most of our difficulty in mixing comes from not seeing all the color notes that make up all colors, and especially those that are sophisticated and interesting.
-
Welll that list can be short or long based on budget. However the easiest and least expensive will get you a long way and give you the most learning potential.
