Mentoring & Consultancy
for Art Studio Owners
I offer mentoring and consultancy for artists and educators running independent art studios, clubs, or creative spaces. My support is grounded in hands-on experience of setting up and running a small art business in Mexico City, and is adaptable to studios working in different countries and contexts.
I’m here for one-to-one conversations about your space, what you want to create, and what you need from your sessions, offering tailored support shaped around your studio and values. I work with people who care deeply about process-led art, community, and creating sustainable, thoughtful creative spaces.

What to expect from a session
Each session is a focused, supportive conversation shaped around your needs. We’ll begin by talking through your space, your aims, and any immediate questions or challenges you’re facing. Depending on what’s most useful, we might look at programme planning, studio organisation, materials and systems, communication with families, or next steps for your studio. Sessions are practical and reflective, with time to think things through as well as take action. Follow-up sessions, short-term support, or check-ins (such as reviewing plans or ideas) can be arranged if helpful.
Pricing
One-to-one mentoring sessions are 45 minutes and priced at 1,000 MXN | £45 | $55.
The first session focuses on understanding your context and identifying what support would be most useful. Ongoing or follow-up sessions can be arranged as needed.
