MEDIUMS: Any Medium SPECIALTY: ✔ Business
With more than 30 years of experience working in the art world, I offer mentoring in a wide variety of career issues such as:
Short and long term goal setting
Developing a cohesive artistic vision
Studio visits and critiques (via zoom)
Putting an effective portfolio and web site together
Starting a comprehensive mailing list
Creating a print catalog
Developing a social media strategy
Having started Artist Career Training in the late 90’s, I taught online business of art classes and traveled around the country teaching workshops to artists and arts organizations. Some of the workshops I taught included Goal Setting for a Successful Art Career, Writing An Artist’s Statement, Marketing and Publicity, Pricing Your Art and Building Your Own Web Site. As a coach working with artists I was able to help them define, outline, and implement clear, practical strategies to advance their art careers.
My long career includes being a gallery dealer, art consultant, curator, juror, arts writer and director of several artist’s estates. For several years I had a monthly column on the business of art in The Pastel Journal.Â

MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST
A broken bent tree branch, bleached from sun and rain, makes me think of weathered bones: fingers, legs, backbone, and hip bone. Old stained strips of cloth act like bandages and clothing, hiding and holding it all together. Wrapped rusted rewire covers the frame and joints of wood. Found and lost objects assembled into curious and evocative shapes is what excites me.
When I am making objects, I think of model airplanes made of balsa wood, then covered in thin transparent paper. Or I see decoys and shapes made to attract wild animals. I visited a museum in Alaska that had drawers filled with toys that had been put together, used and collected from previous cultures. I also think of a forest of tall, dark trees covered in moss and moisture, a silent, meditative place.
