Now that you have technical muscle from the rigors of Academy training, what are you saying with it on canvas, paper or in clay? For many that question is the post MFA stumbling block.

*Developing personal imagery and an authentic imaginal voice

Process-oriented, and quality-based solutions to common stumbling blocks are addressed through experiential exercises and discussions conducted in a strictly non-judgmental atmosphere such that artists are free to explore and expand in unprecedented ways. The result is an edge in the market place over those whose work looks derivative or underdeveloped.

Dealers interviewed by Ms. Smokowski on 2009 and 2010 candidly shared their concern for the lack of originality and vision in much work they see. Chrysalis Studio consultations address this concern/needand provide myriad ways to discover your voice, message and the underlying purpose of your art, the cornerstones of authenticity

Fees are negotiable and a sliding scale accomodates those in hardship situations.
