Coaching and Mentoring

If you’re looking for someone with whom to bounce ideas…
If you’re feeling stuck, not sure what move to make next…
If you have some technical questions about painting or drawing…
I’ll be happy to collaborate with you.

My strength is helping artists get “unstuck” and to establish sustainable art practices.

You can book an appointment for a 50-minute call right here. (Appointments can be made 2 weeks in advance.)
If there’s anything you want me to know before our call, email me.

Here’s what other artists have said about our work together:

“Overall, my studio practice has gotten more focused and productive, and your coaching was a big help. I like that you are empathetic yet direct and practical. I moved all my ideas to an “idea book” but now keep my white board in my studio very clean (only 2 things in my studio per week). I have learned to say “no” more and limit my distractions. Thanks for your guidance and support.”
-J. Cook

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jessica over a six month period. I took an eight week intensive painting course last summer and wanted to build on that experience to enhance my painting skills. Jessica is an experienced fine artist and runs a successful art business herself so I felt she had the qualifications to coach me. I actually surpassed where I thought I would be at the end of the six months – although I know my painting style may change and develop in the future, I am happy with what I am consistently producing now and I’m also ready to launch my revamped art website with artwork to sell. I recommend working with Jessica.”
-A. Sra

“After 15 years of IT work, I rebooted my art practice working with Jessica. She has helped me find my voice again.  It feels great.”
-T. Power

“I’ve been reflecting about my work over the past year. Just the fact that I’ve worked in the studio almost each week is a big accomplishment… There have been no breaks from the studio work long enough to make me feel I was starting at square one again. Going into the studio and making work feels like a habit now. This is all due to the coaching I’ve done with you. I’m very happy with what I’ve accomplished with your help.”
-S.T.

“I’m in a transitional point in my career and it’s been enormously helpful to have Jessica talk through some of the issues, focus my goals and set waypoints for the near and long term. We have weekly check-ins by email, speak at length monthly and I can reach out at other times, if necessary. Jessica easily adapts to different styles and needs of her clients. I highly recommend!”
-E. Stern

“Thank you so very much for a wonderful session this afternoon. It is just what I needed. Not only is your art incredibly inspiring to me, but you also are so generous in sharing the way you work and the tools you use and how you go about creating those wonderful works. I also appreciate that you were tuning in to my own individual way of working and challenges. You gave me artistic inspiration but also very practical steps to follow now. Again, thank you, thank you!”
-B. Lister-Sink

“Working with Jessica has been an enjoyable and fruitful experience. Her technical expertise combined with her rich life experience provided me with practical tools to quickly move through a period of creative malaise. Jessica’s no nonsense approach and tips for living a creative life are both inspiring and achievable.”
-N. Woods

“Thank you Jessica for lighting the fire under my butt to get it going in all the details it takes to start a small business!”
