Are you an emerging or non-traditional artist?  

Are you seeking to:

•   Write an artist statement?

•   Develop your portfolio?

•   Approach galleries?

•   Find and engage with your audience?

•   Market and promote your work?

•   Engage and grow through criticism?

Do you have aspirations for your art, but are unsure how to achieve them? 

I’m here to help.

Who am I?  

I’m a practicing artist of 25+ years and I’ve run successful art galleries, both for-profit and non-profit, in Canada and the US. I have worked with self-taught, non-traditional, and artists with disabilities for most of my career. During that time I’ve helped hundreds of artists to achieve their goals. I am here to encourage and support artists in their practice, and I’d love the opportunity to help you. 

You can read more about my experience and history on my LinkedIn page. Just click HERE.

Feel free to take advantage of my complimentary :15 minute initial phone consultation which is an opportunity for me to learn about you and what you’re seeking to accomplish.

Prior to our first session, you’ll provide me with images of your current artwork, a resume and an artist statement (if you don’t have the latter two items, we can discuss how to change that).  I will review these and be ready to answer your questions and offer feedback.

“Receiving feedback from Yuri about my artwork has been invaluable. By seeing something unique and special in the darker, more personal work I create, Yuri has helped me view my art in a different light. This is the work I am most driven to create and I now have more confidence in sharing this side of my work with the world. I feel much more satisfied and centred in my creative life.”
