To Grow

What is the mentorship?

Art Mentoring sessions are personalized phone, video, and in-person meetings once or twice a month customized for us to connect and talk about your work created in your studio.

Monthly, you have the option of meeting with me virtually twice a month for 30 minutes each or once for one hour. I am open to supporting you in whatever way you prefer. I can also demonstrate LIVE with you on a specific technique that you may want to explore together!

You will bring your own unique ideas, questions and creativity to the meetings. I'll provide support, art direction, suggestions and critique. Our goal together is to inspire and encourage you to push your work further by challenging you as an artist.

  2. Focus: it can help you focus and develop your own unique voice as you further explore your ideas.
  3. Collection: it can help you develop a series or consistent body of work.

The People

Testimonials from artists.

"I have enjoyed taking encaustic classes with Shelley Jean. She shares her expertise in the techniques of encaustic painting in a creative, fun and relaxed atmosphere. She gives positive and encouraging instruction that is right for the beginner as well as seasoned artist looking for a creative venue. Shelley is well prepared and shares her research with her students. Because of her creative ideas, I have learned some very unique advanced techniques. I look forward to taking future classes that blend my artistic ideas with encaustic painting."

"Shelley Jean is a wonderful instructor. She brings years of encaustic experience into the studio and just the right sensibility. She gives the student plenty of freedom to experiment with the medium, generously provides art supplies, and steps in at just the right moment to give you the nudge you need to move forward with your work of art. Her great personality creates a fun atmosphere for learning and experimenting."
