What will I learn that I don't know already?
I provide an outside perspective and support for your artistic vision and aims.

Do you have a mentor?
Yes. I don’t recommend anything I haven’t experienced myself. The feedback and support I receive adds a quality to my practice, accomplishments and enjoyment that I can't achieve by just trying harder.
