Mentorship programs
Portfolio Reviews
Having someone look and critique you work can be a scary thought. Maybe you want to launch a business, or turn a hobby into something more. Maybe you have a creative project to share with the world, or a student preparing for university or study abroad. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story can make all the difference.
Online Mentorship
The course will offer guidance, critical feedback and reflection on on-going work, as well as practical and inspirational assignments to motivate and inspire students. During each session we will explore ideas, concepts and concerns, and address any creative blocks or personal insecurities surrounding the work.
In-person mentorship
This workshop explores the intersection of image, material, and process through experimental approaches to contemporary fine art practice. Participants will develop personal responses using mixed media, focusing on critical thinking, visual language, and conceptual depth.
Portfolio Reviews
I offer one-off or multiple portfolio reviews. Each Portfolio review is one hour long and involves an in-depth critique of your portfolio, as well as focusing on your future artistic career development.

Online mentorship
I offer ongoing short- and long-term mentorship for artists from diverse backgrounds and with varying levels of experience. I have worked with practitioners at all stages, from emerging artists and students to those with an established practice seeking to deepen and refine their work.
Each mentorship is individually tailored to the needs of the artist, allowing for a focused and supportive working relationship. I provide guidance that combines conceptual development, critical discussion, and practical insight, helping artists to strengthen both their ideas and their visual language.
Sessions are one hour in length and centre on in-depth conversations around the artist’s work, alongside technical and material exploration where relevant. For more experienced artists, sessions take the form of constructive and rigorous critique, while those at an earlier stage are supported through idea development, process, and foundational techniques. Throughout the mentorship, I engage closely with the motivations behind the artist’s practice, exploring themes, concepts, and concerns while addressing creative blocks or uncertainties. I offer honest, thoughtful feedback, introduce relevant references from contemporary and historical art practices, and suggest strategies for developing and sustaining a coherent body of work.
The mentorship aims to foster confidence, critical awareness, and a stronger artistic identity. Artists are encouraged to push their work beyond initial ideas, develop greater conceptual depth, and build a more resolved and distinctive practice. Mentorship sessions take place online twice per month, with each session lasting one hour. Scheduling is flexible and can be arranged to suit individual availability and time zones.

In-person mentorship
My in-person workshops are designed to explore in depth the processes of editing, sequencing, and artist book-making within a contemporary fine art context. Informed by my experience as both an artist and educator, these workshops respond to the need for more focused, critically engaged, and practice-led learning environments.
Each workshop is structured to be highly specific in its focus, artist-centred, and grounded in practical, hands-on approaches. Delivered as a series of accessible, one-day intensive sessions, they are designed to support the development of cohesive bodies of work and a deeper understanding of visual and conceptual relationships.
