Private Instruction & Mentoring
Looking for one-on-one support in your encaustic or studio practice? I offer private instruction and mentoring tailored to your needs, whether you're just beginning or looking to push your work further.
In-Studio Sessions – Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY
Join me in my light-filled studio, where you'll have full access to professional-grade tools and materials. You'll work with a 18” x 18” digital heated palette, an adjustable R&F heat gun, an Iwatani butane torch, and a top-tier ventilation system to ensure safety and comfort.
The studio is stocked with the full line of R&F encaustic paint colors, Pigment Sticks, encaustic and blending medium, gesso, and an extensive collection of tools, brushes, and textiles to explore a wide range of approaches.
Whether you're interested in building rich surfaces, developing a unique voice in wax, or troubleshooting specific techniques, our time together is designed to meet you where you are.
Mentoring – Zoom or Phone
Mentorship sessions are fully customizable and available remotely. These conversations can support a range of topics such as:
- Studio setup & material sourcing 
- Developing smooth or textured surfaces 
- Layering for depth and translucency 
- Working large-scale 
- Collage, textiles and botanical and integration 
- Pigment Stick techniques 
- Professional practices: building a website, preparing a portfolio, writing artist statements, pricing, and approaching galleries 
Each session is shaped around your goals—whether that's refining your technique, navigating the art world, or deepening your creative process.
