WHAT ARTISTS ARE SAYING

“Victoria's Mentorship Program has been one of the most valuable investments I have made in myself as an artist. It filled the gaps in my art education, providing a wealth of resources and practical, applicable information. Victoria kept me focused and on track, but most appreciated was her genuinely enthusiastic support and steadfast cheerleading to keep me moving forward. The program was intense, but flexible, always a delight, and I truly looked forward to every meeting."

“I’ve been working with Victoria for more than 6 months now. When we began I was only starting to build my website and grow my name as an artist. Today I can honestly say it was the best decision to choose to work with her. She is kind but will also push you to work hard towards your greatest potential and hold you accountable to make your dreams come true. I’m just about to have my gallery opening, and I have been selected to be presented and interviewed in publications as well. Additionally, I’m going to participate in one of the biggest art expo’s this fall. All of this is possible because of the support and encouragement within the structure of coaching with Victoria. I’m extremely grateful for our professional and personal friendship and recommend her to anyone that wants to grow their art business.”

— Kasia Muzyka, Artist

Through her vast experience and knowledge, she provides practical guidance, new ideas and honest feedback. Not only is Victoria driven and talented, she is also a genuine and caring person, who I consider to be a friend, in addition to a mentor."

"I scheduled a 1-1 mentoring session with Victoria Fry for assistance with building an artist website. Victoria showed up to the meeting with clear ideas, advice, and examples specific to my needs as an artist. I wholeheartedly recommend Victoria for any of your administrative artist issues. She is kind, a good listener, and an excellent resource for artists. I know I will be looking for her guidance again. Thank you, Victoria!"

— Nina Wood, Artist & Art Educator

“As a self-taught artist, a 1:1 mentoring session with Victoria was just what I needed. She gave me a professional critique of my work while going over my goals and how to achieve them. Together we went through my website and she gave me the advice I need to make my website more cohesive and professional. I came away with a renewed sense of confidence in my artistic journey and what I need to concentrate on."

— Sarah Hessinger, Artist

“I was so impressed during my time working with Victoria. She provides an abundance of helpful tips and resources to ensure your path forward will be clear and easy. Victoria has a wealth of expertise and shares it freely. She is a thoughtful teacher/mentor who cares deeply that her clients and community receive what will best support them along their art journey. She inspires you to look inward to deepen your process and gather the wisdom of your authentic voice while supportively guiding you in the concrete day-to-day aspects of building your business and showcasing your work. Victoria’s knowledge and experience have made an incredible impact on the success of my business.”

- Natascha Bach, Artist & Voice Coach

"Victoria's Emerging Artist Workshop was my first time investing in art mentorship, and she set the bar incredibly high! I got so much out of the session that I decided to book a 1:1 mentoring session with her. She brought actionable ideas and resources to the session and was just an overall joy to talk to. I left the session with a concrete plan to launch my first online print sale, as well as the confidence needed to see it through. Booking this session was the best decision for my business, and I will 1000% work with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Victoria!"

— Maddie Reiss, Artist

“I 100% would never have been able to make these changes so quickly, or so well, without all of Victoria’s invaluable input - from website and social media advice, to her Emerging Artist Workshop where I learned exactly what I needed to about writing a bio and artist statement and setting up a shop for art sales. I cannot thank her enough!”

— Hilary Nylander, Artist
