Hey there!

WE'RE NATALIE & EMILY 

Artists (and bffs) on a mission to help artists feel a little less alone on their journey to creative success.

Here at Studio Mates we offer artists the tools, knowledge, and connections they need for an art career with less time searching for answers and more time doing what they love - making the work.

We're your biggest cheerleaders and our programs will help you navigate the ins and outs of life as an artist with support from a creative community.

Janine Wheeler

"Their After Art School program is a well of valuable resources and connections from a variety of professional perspectives. It was realistic and insightful information and motivation to encourage me to go after new opportunities. It's very apparent that Natalie and Emily put a great deal of care and thought into the success of their programs."

Allana Cooper

"Studio Mates crit group made me think about and evaluate my own work and process as an artist. The advice, suggestions, thoughtful comments, and guidance from the group have given me a new outlook and positive perspective on my work."

Let’s have a studio visit!
