Sometimes another person's perspective - and experience - can be helpful.
I worked for many years doing in-depth reviews and providing feedback - via reports, one to one sessions, in group meetings/workshops and by delivering presentations to large groups of people. Now I do the same thing - for artists. For many years just with the friends I have made in the art world - and now for a wider audience - hence this NEW page. |

TIPS FOR HOSTS
|
At Heatherleys we recognise how important it is that our students receive quality professional development advice alongside their studio practice. To this end Katherine has provided us with an ongoing series of lectures covering everything from how to write an artist’s statement to how to pay your tax. This has been an invaluable resource for our students, and a rare one as few colleges offer this type of programme. The talks are always very well attended and manage to be both informative and entertaining. |

How it works
If you'd like a review, we don't need to meet.
NOTE: I frequently offer "5 minute freebies" to those with a quick query - but for issues which take longer I'm afraid I charge. |
REVIEW OF YOUR WEBSITE AND/OR BLOG
I've looked at over 10,000 artist websites in the last decade. This provides an excellent context for advising you on

"Thank you for the care and attention you have put into preparing it for me. I really appreciate your honesty - it was a tough first read. However it was a definite call to action for me, a wake up call. |
REVIEW YOUR ARTIST STATEMENT / BIOGRAPHY / CV
I don't write it for you. I review, make suggestions and edit to indicate the potential to make your statement clearer. Fees depend on what's required and how successful you are. |
I was never very happy with my artist statement and I dreaded working on it. I think a lot of artists feel |
REVIEW your strategy for art competitions / open exhibitions and submissions
I've been reviewing the open exhibitions of national art societies and the major art competitions exhibiting in London for over well over a decade. NOBODY else has the experience I have of looking at artwork exhibited in open art exhibitions and art competitions based in London. I can

....you gave me a very useful crit a few months ago. I absorbed a lot of what you said, and just wanted to share with you the news that both recent submissions to the Discerning Eye got accepted, plus I have just found that 2 new sculptures ....have got through the pre selection to the Threadneedle which has been massively encouraging. I find your advice and opinion very instructive and valuable |

What will it cost?
An awful lot less than my hourly charge-out rate used to be 20 years ago! My philosophy is to make my help affordable and yet at the same time charge at a level which means that only those who want to invest in themselves will approach me. I'm only interested in helping artists who are seriously interested in helping themselves. I'm not in this for the money - I want to help people make a difference to their lives and art careers.
