“Inspiration is for amateurs.
The rest of us just show up and get to work.”
Chuck Close
PORTFOLIO GUIDANCE
As a young artist, building a strong portfolio is the first step to creative success. Your college counselor may support your academic success, but probably doesn’t have a clue what you need for an art portfolio. Whether you’re applying to a BFA, MFA, or Liberal Arts program, I can help you:
Understand exactly what art programs are looking for
Select your strongest pieces
Build skills and create new work to fill in any gaps in your portfolio
Navigate the requirements of art school applications
Size, edit, and format work to fit guidelines
Write statements and image descriptions to highlight your skills and techniques
Understand how a strong art portfolio can help ANY application
