What Artists are Saying –

  • The Emerging Artist Workshop that Victoria teaches was so incredibly helpful for me. As a self taught artist, there’s a lot I felt in the dark about when I first got started with my business. What I loved the most about this workshop was that it covered all the bases. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about having a self-sustaining art career, and also to think more deeply about your art practice and get clear on why you create in the first place. Thank you, Victoria!

  • Victoria led the workshop with a beautiful balance of resources and advice; discussions on each topic helped me clarify my understanding of topics that had intimidated me before. It was refreshing to talk to like-minded people in our session without having to appear like I knew what I was doing. At first, I thought I would have to take notes to keep track of the information we shared, but Victoria’s planning allowed me to relax and enjoy our conversations since she had prepared notes that would be shared at the end of our session. If you are wondering if this is the kind of workshop that could help you, the answer is yes. Sign up.

  • Victoria’s Emerging Artist Workshop has been the best investment in my studio practice. She is the type of person who genuinely engages with you and wants to help. Despite going to art school, listening to podcasts and reading many books about stepping into the art world, I still felt overwhelmed with where to “start”. Her expert advice helped streamline and simplify the process of doing so. I could not believe how much knowledge she was able to provide in just two hours. If you are longing to make your art career a sustainable one, need some advice for growing your audience, or want to participate with others in the art world, I highly recommend taking the opportunity to join Victoria’s workshop.
