 MY approach to artist mentoring          

Being an artist can be lonely, however you don’t have to tackle it alone. Whilst friends can be vital, the chance to discuss your work and life with another artist in an honest, non-judgmental way can be hugely rewarding. My own training and background as both a successful artist and gallery owner allows me to see your work and potential from all angles and then offer my own knowledge and expertise to help you become the best artist you can.
     Whether you have an extensive portfolio or not, a review of your existing work can help develop it further – whether by looking at alternative mediums, clarity of composition, how to create a collection, discuss materials, or look at how it relates to the art industry as a whole.
​However mentoring doesn’t stop there, I can also offer support and advice on how to organise and market an exhibition, select the right artwork, project management, finding sponsorship and accessing financial resources, dealing with the media and creating opportunities for yourself.

​The program will Include

• A full review of your current portfolio with ideas for curating and exhibiting your work
• Exploring how to find your market and audience as well as pricing your art
• A chance to discuss openly and honestly the challenges that come from being an artist with someone who has exhibited internationally
• Guidance on how to stay focused and avoid distractions
• The opportunity to discuss your fears, anxieties, doubts and frustrations with someone who has faced them herself
• Help to find your own signature style, stand out from the crowd and stay true to yourself

We believe our students say it best and here are their results:

As a result of showcasing my works with Laura I. Art Gallery in two group shows I really felt that my artwork was seen and understood, which was very beneficial for my confidence as an up-and-coming artist. It was and was a positive and rewarding experience. Laura is very creative, warm hearted and community driven herself and really opens up discussions and important conversations concerning contemporary art. It has changed my life as, it was an encouraging step in the right direction for me to be seen, heard and understood in terms of the themes I explore which stimulated me to create new artwork. Exhibiting with Laura was a constructive experience. She really encourages a deeper exploration into creativity and the arts through encouraging diverse dialogue, especially through her direct community. Laura successfully sold an illustration of mine which helped raise money for charity through her gallery and she has proven that she is a successful business woman and creative who is truly supporting local artists become a success in their own right.

As a result of being represented by Laura I. Gallery, I feel that Laura has encouraged me to create more art with the help of mentoring sessions for support when I struggled with having low confidence. This has proved that Laura I. Gallery is a successful and inspiring organisation and has motivated me to believe in myself and my practice to become a better artist. Other than this, I enjoyed taking part in the drawing book project, inspiring children about the environment and supporting those in need. Another is posting on Instagram and LinkedIn for the ‘One Day, One Artist’ challenge to keep viewers updated on my work processes and to share the meaning behind my art. I attended the private view for the ‘Art for the Soul’ exhibition where one of my works was featured, I felt part of the group and enjoyed listening to other artists speak about their works as well as myself sharing my own work with others and explaining the meaning behind the art.
Laura provided me with knowledge and encouragement giving a sense of what I can achieve with a bit of hard work and considered action. Laura and I had a very honest and open conversation about the process and where things are at by providing clear, calm and positive counsel throughout our session. She brought incredible insight, balanced perspectives to push me to achieve my ambitions, knowing what I was looking for and how to go about it. I am grateful for her support and look forward to a continued valuable relationship.

I am a filmmaker and I have approached Laura for an advise regarding my desire to paint and have work exhibited in galleries. She saw my portfolio and told me exactly which style suits my personality and which has got potential. Her advise helped me a lot because now I have some guidance in my work and I could create something truly original. It's difficult to find a mentor or a curator who could help develop yourself when you are not an establish painter.
- Frank Stanwyck
I had the opportunity to go to mentoring sessions with Laura and they were amazing, they went beyond my expectations.I knew my passion was art, specifically sculpture, having partaken in a few exhibitions and even sold some pieces but I found myself at a crossroad where I was not seeing any future in the same, to the point of even envisaging the possibility of quitting art.  From the first session Laura not just helped me in getting a different perspective of my work, but also made me aware of issues affecting me personally which were interfering with me reaching my full potential.  I had tried coaching session before, but the mentoring sessions with Laura had the extra advantage of her sharing her experience and vision as an artist and felt she fully understood my struggle. I am already seeing my art from a different perspective and cannot wait for our next session soon.  Laura is certainly inspirational.

​I contacted Laura for advice about how I could progress further with my mixed media art. I found her critique tactful and refreshingly honest. She suggested thought provoking ways for me to enrich my artworks in order increase sales. It helped me to view my works from a different perspective which I found extremely helpful. Laura has a wonderfully gentle energy and is an absolute joy to spend several hours with. I’d highly recommend a mentoring session with her.
- Genna Wise
I am a self-employed artist working in different visual media. I needed advice about specific aspects of my art practice. I booked five two hour mentoring sessions with Laura Iosifescu over a period of about ten weeks in the early summer of 2018. Laura is a very charming person, a good listener and easy to talk to. The starting point was for her to look at and critique my work. She was thoughtful and supportive in her comments, which gave me confidence in her and in my own abilities. Over the weeks, I gained a much better understanding of how the gallery system works, I experimented with new material and I also found out where to look for support and opportunities in the future. As a result of the mentoring I now have a better idea of myself as an artist, what to concentrate on moving forward and how I am going to connect my work with a larger audience. The sessions ended with positive affirmations for use on a daily basis - which go a long way to motivate and to counteract creeping negative thoughts! Laura’s mentoring was recommended to me by two different artists who have already benefited from her advice, and I in turn would certainly recommend her to others. She is very knowledgeable about different ways of creating art and the business of promoting and selling it. Plus she is a prime example of self belief, of creating opportunities and being the best you

"A session with Laura is a breath of fresh air. The conversations we had was so constructive and supportive that no matter what stage in life you are in, Laura is able to lead you in such a professional manner. Laura is sympathetic and truly helpful towards having you reach your goals. I left the gallery with a clear direction and felt truly happy with myself."
