Are you seeking a mentor?
You may be seeking to clarify your thinking, express ideas more clearly, or crave catharsis.
My private, one-on-one mentoring is for individuals who are serious about a regular art practice, whether or not they wish to pursue a commercial career.
I feel I got some clarity and direction to start working on a few things, even after just one session!You also made me feel more confident about the quality of my work, something that gets unavoidably eroded as one gets rejections for prizes and sales are minimal. So thank you Soula, I found our conversation very stimulating.
Soula’s depth of experience as an artist and gallerist of many years and her generosity in sharing her knowledge have been instrumental in my re-engagement with a studio practice on hold during a period of full-time employment.
