Mentorship

Since fall 2023, I’ve been part of the Mastrius online mentorship community, learning from an incredible group of master artists. These mentorships have truly shaped my growth — not just in technique, but in confidence, creativity, and connection.

I’m so grateful to all the mentors I’ve worked with (too many to name!), each of whom has left their mark on my journey in a meaningful way.
