PORTFOLIO ADVISING

You’ve decided to get serious about art school. But before you reach out to colleges  it is crucial that your portfolio showcases your talents, strengths, creative and conceptual abilities as well as your committment.

As a professional artist and teacher of 30 years and a mother of 3 young artists, I can help you create a portfolio that will stand out and seperate you from 100’s of other applicants; a portfolio that shows your technical, creative, and conceptual abilities and separates you from other applicants.
