Visual Arts Mentorship

A Visual Arts Mentorship is the beneficial feedback along with the design & technique development you need to take your art to the next level without all of the stuffiness of art school critiques.

Is a Visual Arts Mentorship with Court right for you?

Are you seeking to develop a body of visual work that reflects who you are without feeling lost in the process and letting time pass you by?
Are you longing to create visual art that communicates in a powerful and personal way?

Are you frustrated that your art feels chaotic without a specific theme? 

Does the artist within you have big ideas but need some nurturing guidance on where exactly  to start and how to move forward?

Do you desire reliable feedback on your visual work without all the expense of traditional art school courses by somebody other than friends and family who can provide real, constructive support?

Do you long to develop your skills and techniques as an artist while improving your overall sense of design and composition?

​Is that desire minimized by not knowing where to go for critique that feels helpful instead of critical?
I know exactly how this feels.
After graduating Art School I needed to continue to grow as an artist technically, while finding a way to create art that felt authentic to me.

​I know what it's like to spend the countless hours it takes to develop your unique artwork and now I love to guide others through that meaningful process.

It has been such a joy spending the last 15 years developing my unique body of visual work by both working alone and by finding inspiration through engaging with and learning from my creative community. I have had the honor of working as a teaching artist in museums, and leading visual arts experiences in my home studio and around the world. 
My passion is guiding others in developing their visual arts techniques, personal concepts in their creative work, and witnessing their confidence as a creator bloom.

Testimonials

"Working with Court has propelled me forward in my artistic endeavors in ways that I never dreamed of and as a result my dreams have become even bigger. I know now that I can accomplish anything I aim to do because Court has revealed to me tools that I already had to overcome fears of expressing myself artistically. 

What I love best about working with Court is her open, non-judgmental listening abilities and her knack of helping me reveal and set creative goals with accountability and a friendly vibe, not the vibe of a drill sergeant.

She has a way of helping me recognize my worth as an artist and that we are all just fine right where we are in life. The big picture can be overwhelming at times and Court is really good at helping to break down the big picture into smaller, more manageable increments to where growing can be fun and productive at the same time." ~Miranda W.

"Court's ability to nurture the artistic experience as opposed to simply focusing on a finished product allows her students to deepen more fully into their own creative process. Court's studio space offers a welcome retreat from busy, city life despite being in the heart of town.

Painting with her each week brings me a sense of serenity that lasts all week." ~Copland R.

"Court has encouraged me to shake up my home studio setup and to try different ideas in my illustrations while at the same time advising me and tempering my headstrong mentality phases where I would feel like a failure if I didn't draw every day.

​This has helped me to get to a point where I am now comfortable with quality and not quantity while still wanting to challenge myself." ~ Ryan L.

"I think what's so powerful about working with Court on nurturing your creativity is that she reaches you where you are right now--not where you once were or hope to be, but right where you are this second--and reaffirms that you already have what you need to lead a more creative life. 

As an artist, it can be tough to generate fresh ideas and energy every day. Court has helped me accept struggle as part of the process, and find new ways to reignite my imagination. She reminded me what is at the heart of being not only an artist, but a human: curiosity, commitment, and love." ~Molly F.
