APPLICATIONS CLOSED FOR MAY-JULY 2024

APPLICATIONS FOR AUG-OCT 2024 WILL OPEN IN JUNE

At the start of 2021 I launched my Mentorship Program for visual artists around the world. Every 3 months I will select 3-5 artists to mentor, teach and walk alongside their studio practice. There are currently 49 program alumni from Spain, Austria, Brazil, Portugal, Germany, Czech Republic, The Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, Canada, France, Estonia, UAE, Australia, Ireland, South Africa and the United States. Alumni from the program include beginning, emerging, mid-career artists ranging from Emmy Award winning Producers, Internationally recognized Composers, Theoretical Physicists, Barista’s, retired CFO’s, marketing executives, artists picking up the brush after 10 years, recent art school grads, former military and most importantly: Each of these individuals came into the program with a passion for art and true desire to grow within their body of work. This program is designed for me to come alongside your studio practice and help you experiment, take risks and grow within your work. You will get out of this program what you are willing to put in. We will cover a wide range of business topics within the program, but this Mentorship is designed to help you grow in your work.

I have been beyond blessed to have been mentored by some incredible leaders, artists, filmmakers, CEO’s, entrepreneur's and thinkers over the years. I hope to share the things I have learned in a multitude of areas with artists who are trying to grow in their craft and in their life as an artist.

As artists we have the responsibility of operating every facet of a business; sales, customer service, marketing, web design, inventory, research and still spend as much time as we can in the studio working! I have been blessed to have worked in a variety of careers over the years and have compiled a multitude of skills that many artists have a hard time learning. I worked in retail management, marketing and design, fashion and later became an Art Director and Marketing Director. I have run and managed massive international PR campaigns, produced an award winning film and as an entrepreneur I have started multiple businesses, After leaving my businesses to paint full time I worked side hustles as a crowdfunding consultant, social media consultant, ideation and business consultant. I am fortunate today to not have to work those hustles anymore as my art is now represented in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston, Austin and New York by incredible art dealers and galleries.

COST: $3,000.00 USD. | $1000.00 upon selection | $1000.00 Billed at the end of the first Month | $1000.00 Billed at the end of the second month.

(Payments are non-refundable)

Why are payments non-refundable? I want artists that are serious about their craft and willing to sacrifice and dedicate towards their future. I am highly selective in who I choose to share my time with, and I will be fully immersed in working with the individuals that I choose for the program.
