Get A Full Walkthrough Of Your Admissions Portfolio From A Former Art Professor
Find out exactly which pieces to add, cut, keep, and improve so you can use the time between now and the admissions deadline building the best portfolio possible.
Self-Critiquing Your Portfolio Doesn’t Work – No Matter How Great Your Artistic Eye Is
Have you ever stared at your body of work and thought: “Do I need another piece like this, or am I just repeating myself?”
Maybe you’ve got a strong group of work already, and you’re not sure if the next piece should push the idea further or try something completely different, so you end up making another one just like the last one.
That experience is universal to every artist I know.
When you’re this deep inside your own process, it’s almost impossible to tell whether you’re building toward something or just adding to the pile.
Which means you’re usually stuck guessing at your own blind spots.
You Need An Educated Second Opinion To Spot The Gaps You’re Too Close To See
That’s the whole point of a Portfolio Critique. It’s a recorded, 30-minute video walkthrough of your entire portfolio where I tell you piece by piece what’s working, what’s not, and what still needs to be added or tweaked.
You get clear, direct feedback on your work from someone who:
1) Doesn’t have the emotional attachment that’s probably clouding your view of it
2) Knows exactly what admissions teams are looking for when they open your portfolio
I want to give you the perspective you’ll never get from your own ‘self-critique’ or well-meaning friends and mentors.
Here’s How We’ll Focus Your Art Into An Intentional Portfolio Plan Before The Admissions Deadline
STEP #1
Send Your Portfolio For Review
Submit up to 20 images and materials from your portfolio so far, whether it’s finished, nearly there, or still a work in progress. There’s no perfect stage to send it, the earlier you get feedback, the more time you have to act on it.
STEP #2
Get Your Recorded Critique
Within 3 business days, you’ll receive a recorded, 30-minute video where I evaluate every piece for two things: your artistic fingerprint, and whether it meets what an admissions team is actually looking for.
STEP #3
Close Gaps Before The Deadline
You’ll walk away with a video you can come back to as many times as you need with my detailed recommendations on what to cut, what to keep, and what to prioritize with the time you have left before your deadline.

Find Out Exactly What Your Portfolio Needs To Be Admissions Ready In Just 30 Minutes
Right now, you’re the only person who’s looked at your portfolio, which means every decision is being made by someone who’s too invested to be objective.
A Portfolio Critique changes that.
Instead of a well-meaning friend or fellow student, you get someone who’s sat on the receiving end of countless portfolios and seen the patterns that routinely lead to “accepted” vs “rejected” outcomes.
I’ll give you the same read your portfolio will get from an actual admissions officer so you know exactly what to fix before you hit submit.
