Louise Lennon - Artist
"Before starting the programme I knew there were things that I was missing in my approach to my practice but I didn't know what they were. Now, as the programme is ending, I not only know what to do but also exactly how to implement it. I feel like all the gaps in my knowledge have been filled"
Julie Corcoran - Fine Art Photographer
"What can I say, we clicked. Sheelah is so easy to talk with yet is extremely professional in her approach. As a mentor, she posses the exact balance of knowledge and support you need when you’re out there on your own as an artist. I found our sessions gave structure to my art practice and during those regular one on one check-ins I discovered areas I needed
to work on and Sheelah gave me the tools to do that. I would highly recommend Sheelah’s mentoring.

She helped me better understand strategies for selling art and has given me amazing advice on how to prepare for an exhibition, how to write an artist statement, and how to structure my time / calendar / planning / commissions."
