MEDIUMS: Oil | Pastel SPECIALTY: ✔ Generalist
I believe an artist’s success has to first be based on a thorough understanding of the fundamentals. My mentorship group will primarily focus on design, composition, value, color sense, and quality mark making. Practicing these fundamentals on a regular basis will result in strong work, which is the ultimate marketing tool.
This group will hold regular, group critique sessions, which I will lead. During our critique sessions, artists will gain understanding of how to self critique and how to critique within a group. An artist spends a lot of time with their work in their studios, so self critiquing is a skill one must develop in order to create strong work.
Aspects of the business of art will also be discussed. These will include, but perhaps won’t be limited to: how to price your work, how to approach galleries, creating an artist statement, managing studio time, and choosing shows and exhibits to enter and/or approach.
