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.
