Paint Explorations with Natural Dyes and Pigments


Critical feedback for artists. Currently running 7 groups in 3 cities- The Crit Lab offers rigorous, critical, supportive feedback akin to a graduate-level seminar in small ongoing artist groups. Asking ethical and aesthetic questions, we situate artworks in a social context, engage materials in their own language, and preserve the inchoate nature of the creative process. The Crit Lab is for artists serious about critical feedback on their work. I also offer one-on-one critical and professional mentoring for working artists.

Community St John the Baptist
Painting Retreat
For many years I led painting retreats at Community St. John Baptist, a lovely Episcopal convent monastery in Mendham NJ. The workshops take place in the historic retreat house, and include room and board. The nuns are wonderful, and the order has a history of liturgic arts, an amazing library, wonderful art, and beautiful grounds. See more info about the convent at their website
Strategic planning, artist statements, grant and proposal Writing, including hands-on workshop of statements, organizing documentation, files and images, curating portfolios, researching opportunities and more. After teaching professional practice in undergrad and grad programs for fifteen years I currently offer independent workshops and on-on-one mentoring with working artists, and for Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance (NoMAA).
