If you were sitting across from an experienced curator
& professional portfolio reviewer, what would you ask her?

For an artist, turning ideas into reality can be a sensitive process. Our work comes from the heart, so sharing it in an exhibition (or with the entire internet) can churn up a lot of emotions - as well as creative and technical questions.

Mentoring helps.

Here’s how it works: we’ll have a 1-on-1 conversation about whatever you’re working on (or resisting working on).

I pull from 20+ years as a curator, photographer, gallerist, portfolio reviewer, and juror - and I work with both emerging and experienced artists.

If you have a vision of the kind of artist you could be, and you’d love deeper insights and a clear roadmap to help you make your dream a reality, mentoring is here for you. 

Mentoring is a great fit if...

• You’re ready to brainstorm that dream project you can’t stop thinking about

• You’re looking for support and feedback on a long-term project

• You’ve been blocked and you’re craving fresh insight, motivation, and inspiration

• You’re not sure which of your images are strong - and which ones need help

• You're preparing for an exhibit and need help with image selection, printing, framing, installation, or sequencing

• You’re not ready for an exhibit yet…but you’re dreaming about it and you’d love help setting the stage

• You work feels "all over the place" and you need help making sense of it all

• You want to build or refine a photo website, but you’re not sure what to include or how to make it shine

• You want to create a top-notch portfolio with a cohesive personal vision

• You’re ready to grow as a photographer, but you’re not sure which next steps to take

• You’d love to write more powerful artist statements, but they don’t come naturally

• You want learn to connect with wider audiences and collectors

• You’re attending a portfolio review and want to work with an experienced reviewer to get your ducks in a row

• You’re entering competitions and need help strategizing and prepping

• You have a publishing project in mind and need help editing, sequencing, and reviewing written materials

• You’re stuck in a rut and you’d love to identify new sources of inspiration

Hi, I’m Laura!

I’m a photographer and curator who helps people hone their vision and thrive in their creative ventures.

I have a long history of helping artists evolve and present their work. I teach e-courses, work 1-on-1 with photographers at all levels, and curate exhibitions for galleries and photo festivals around the world. I also jury photo competitions and serve as a reviewer at national and international portfolio reviews, where I help photographers fine-tune their vision and promote their work with confidence. 

Each of my offerings goes deeper than mere mechanics - into the heart of making your creative process brilliantly, joyfully alive. If you’re stuck in a rut lately, mentoring will help you clear creative blocks so you can make your most skillful, authentic, wholehearted work.
