What artists are saying —

Victoria is an exceptional mentor who genuinely cares about her clients. I cannot emphasize enough the transformative impact that her 1:1mentorship program has had me on my journey as an artist. Before our mentorship began, I had built numerous barriers for myself, struggling to reach my full potential. However, everything changed when I had the opportunity to work with Victoria through this program.


From the very beginning, Victoria showed a strong commitment to nurturing my artistic vision and guiding me through the complexities of the art world, leading to opportunities in publications and exhibitions I never imagined possible. Her personalized approach not only boosted my visibility but also empowered me to confidently pursue my artistic practice. One of the most invaluable aspects of the mentorship was the individualized attention and tailored guidance I received. 


Victoria took the time to understand my unique strengths, aspirations, and areas for growth, creating a roadmap that was specifically curated to my needs. I am truly grateful for Victoria and her expertise.

Victoria masterfully blends nuts and bolts pragmatic how-to (how to do a print sale, how to organize your website etc) with deeper mentorship related to constructively critiquing your work, taking the work where it needs to go, balancing business and expression. I can't imagine doing an art career without this type of guidance!

Since our work started a year ago, I went from painting alone in my  studio to having my first solo show in Brooklyn, participating in my first art fair, tripling my sales and more importantly I feel I have settled into work that is truly my own. I can't recommend her highly enough!

What Artists are Saying –

  • Victoria’s holistic program examines every aspect of being an artist, including being true to one's art and making art that is true to oneself. For me, I felt so peaceful, loved, and accepted as I engaged with Victoria's guidance to enter and depict my own "safe space." I felt revitalized and stronger to overcome and defeat the stagnation that entrapped me after graduate school. Victoria was the unicorn who led me into a deep, magical forest. I felt enchanted by her powers and gentle guidance.

  • Working with Victoria made me feel like a more polished and confident artist. She gave me tangible steps to reach out to galleries, improve my website, fine-tune my artist statement, and so much more. Because of her mentorship, I have representation at two galleries! She is an equal parts art career cheerleader, empathetic listener, strategy and marketing expert, and genuinely a wonderful person. I highly recommend her to any artist looking to elevate their art career. Victoria is well worth the investment, and I hope to work with her more in the future!

She has made me feel comfortable during a delicate time in my growth as an artist, and kept me motivated toward my personalized goals. I really value her input and recommendations in studio practices as well as critique of my work. I immensely enjoy my mentoring experience, and it is evident in both my growth and confidence in my artwork. Working with Victoria has elevated my studio practice, as well as how I market and sell my artwork

  • Victoria knows just how to direct an emerging artist to maximize their potential. Under her clear direction and guidance, I have increased sales and submissions and have been accepted into a greater number of exhibits. I now have a professional website, newsletter and social media presence. I just ran my first successful print sale. Victoria has provided a map with all the steps for taking my art business to the next level and beyond.

  • Working with Victoria has been amazing! The knowledge and expertise that she has provided to me regarding the mentorship program has been the best investment that I have ever made!
