Studio Sessions
Studio Sessions are an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and dedicate uninterrupted time to your creative practice.
Hosted in my small cozy Philadelphia studio, these sessions are intentionally flexible and built around your goals. Throughout the day, we'll use the studio itself as a creative tool. We'll spread prints across the table, sequence images on a magnetic wall, look for visual patterns and recurring themes, explore printing, explore artist books, and discuss how your work might exist beyond a screen.
Whether we're editing a portfolio, shaping a personal project, or rethinking your creative direction, the goal is to make your work tangible. A chance to slow down, notice connections, and discover new possibilities with your imagery.
Every Studio Session is different, but each one is rooted in curiosity, conversation, and the act of making. Dates for the Sessions are updated regularly, please reach out via email with any questions.
