Mentoring for Artists
We all need support every now and then. Whether it’s with your studio practice, or navigating the tricky world of trying to market and sell your work. I have helped over 30 artists with everything from oil painting techniques to writing personal statements and preparing for art fairs and open studios. Choose from one-to-one sessions for individual strategy, or small groups aimed at general topics with the opportunity to meet fellow Artists and share ideas.
Why Choose Me
If you are thinking about Mentoring specifically for your Sales & Marketing, here is some background for you.

1:1 Zoom Sessions
I offer one-to-one sessions for an hour via Zoom. These are bespoke sessions dedicated to helping you address issues, identify opportunities, inspire and motivate. There is no ‘course’ or need to sign up for months. Simply book an hour as and when you need it. £90 per session.
Group Sessions (10 Artists)
Online or In-person
If you enjoy learning in small groups, I have created a 50 minute (approx) talk ‘Sales & Marketing for Artists - level 1’. This is for you if;
You are an ‘emerging’ artist who wants to start showing and selling your work but you don’t know where to start.
You have started showing your work, but are disappointed with sales and not sure what to do next.
You hate the thought of trying to sell your work and want to approach a gallery.
You have made a few sales to friends and family and now you want to build on that.
You have done some selling, but have no strategy, so everything you do feels like starting from scratch.
Each session is limited to 10 Artists to allow everyone to be able to ask questions. The talk lasts approximately 50 minutes after which we have a Q&A session. After that you may leave, however I encourage you to stay and meet and chat to your fellow Artists.
You can chose between attending an ‘in person’ event held at Brighton Art Space, where I have my studio (Regent Street, Brighton, BN1 1UL) or online via Zoom. Each 2 hour session is £20
As always, feel free to email me if you have any questions. Or if you’d like to have a brief chat to see if mentoring is right for you, let me know.
