Artist Advocacy & Support

Alongside mentoring, I offer Artist Advocacy & Support for those navigating challenging professional experiences. I help artists approach issues of payment, acknowledgement, and communication with clarity and integrity, and support the upholding of professional standards — for artists, the care and presentation of their work, and the audience experience of that work.
