Client Testimonials

When you are building a career in the arts, having the right support and community that you can trust makes all the difference. Here’s what some of my wonderful clients have said about their experience working together.

"Sophia’s one-to-one session blew me away. She was highly organised, insightful, and tailored her advice specifically to my practice and concerns. She put together a package of information and an action plan for me that is clear, easy to follow, and will have a huge impact on the next few years of my career. I booked Sophia’s session on a whim, and I am so glad I did! I am recommending her services to all my artist friends."

 

Natalie (Visual Artist)

"I cannot recommend ArtSupport more. Sophia provided such a detailed plan for me and my client to work on moving forward. She devotes attention and pays great detail to creating a plan for any situation you may be in."

 

Sarah (Artist Assistant)

"It was an absolute pleasure to work with Sophia. She is such a warm person with a wealth of knowledge. The feedback and input she provided were very targeted to me and my goals and have truly re-energised me out of a tough job-hunting rut."

 

Charlotte (Arts Worker)

"It is a treasure that something like ArtSupport exists. Meeting Sophia and discussing practical ways to improve and foster my future art practice was such a great motivation to move forward with care. Sophia's resources and action planning exceeded all my expectations."

 

Jamie (Contemporary Artist)

"ArtSupport collaborated with LCI Melbourne on an artist talk. As the host of the event, Sophie kept the audience engaged with a thoughtful curation of questions, always balancing insightful discussion with respect for the artists. Her professionalism and expertise were evident in the thorough research she conducted, while her approachable manner and sincere commitment to fostering an engaging partnership truly set her apart. Sophie’s ability to cover compelling topics about the art and creative process made the event both informative and enjoyable for all involved."

 

LCI Melbourne (University)

" Sophia prepared a fantastic workshop that provided new learnings for participants beginning their arts journey, and the opportunity for the more experienced to reconsider or reaffirm their approach to the topic. The session provided insights, practical tips, time to consider the information, and the opportunity to ask questions. Sophia’s insight, as both an artist and an arts administrator, meant she understood the challenges participants faced and created a workshop that truly hit the mark."

 

Creative Ballarat (Council)

"If not for Sophia, I would not be in the place where I am today. Before I found her, I was taking small, hesitant steps as an impostor in the art world. She has given me not only practical and useful tips on navigating the complex world of art, but above all else, she has given me confidence. Now, I have secured roles in the arts sector I previously believed were unachievable. She is an incredible woman — talented, ambitious, kind — and she is here to help you realise your dreams. Sophia has played a significant role in my career journey, and I am sure she will play a role in yours."

 

Arina (Curator & Arts Writer)

"ArtSupport is an incredible service that has taught me what university should have. Working with ArtSupport, I was able to get out of a slump and pursue my dream career in the arts. Sophia's mentoring has been invaluable, and I have been able to achieve things I never thought possible. I could not recommend ArtSupport more."

 

Olivia (Curator)

"Chatting to Soph was like having a career therapy session! I felt so seen and understood, and she gave me amazing practical steps to help with the next stage of my career. I could not recommend ArtSupport or Sophia more."

 

Rachelle (Producer)

"Before meeting Sophia, I was feeling completely lost and stuck in a career slump. I had no idea where I wanted to go and felt like everything was out of my reach. Sophia provided practical career support and actionable steps to navigate the unique world that is the arts sector. Most importantly, she is a kind and compassionate person who made me feel at ease and confident in what I have already achieved. It has only been a few weeks since meeting her, but I already feel much more sure of myself and my ability to secure a role in the industry. Thank you, Sophia!"

 

Paige (Artist & Arts Worker)

"ArtSupport is unique in that they provide simple, practical, and honest advice to support career progression. Unlike experiences in the past, I felt Sophia understood the challenges I face as a small business owner and creative. I now have a plan for the next six months and a sense of direction for my practice. I would definitely recommend ArtSupport to anyone in the creative industry who needs a caring and objective point of view to push their career forward."

 

Kimberly (Director)

"Sophia took the time and care to discuss my goals and aspirations. She had an in-depth look at the ways I could improve my presence and presentation to align with my goals and help me achieve them. I had been feeling quite stuck and finding it difficult to carve out time for my artistic practice. I now feel supported by Sophia’s work and positive about the future, and I have a detailed plan to follow. As artists, we often struggle alone, so it is wonderful to have ArtSupport as a trusted resource. I will continue working with ArtSupport on a regular basis."

 

Naomi (Visual Artist)

"I have always been an artist who doubted myself and felt unsure whether I could make a living through creativity. Having a professional creative believe in me and set my goals to reality is something I didn’t realise I needed until speaking with Sophia. I am so excited to start my journey in my creative direction and have her help along the way."

 

Paris (Visual Artist)

"The sessions with Sophia are incredibly helpful! I'm grateful she challenged me to think about what is best for my practice. I gained clarity, actionable steps, support, and accountability. Plus, a lot of laughs, which was very much appreciated."

 

Ruby (Contemporary Artist)

"Working with Sophia gave me the confidence and clarity to pursue a career in the arts industry. Her tailored feedback and insightful industry perspective instilled trust in her approach. She equipped me with the tools and a clear roadmap to continue with confidence. Sophia is always timely, responsive, and brings a warm, friendly presence to every interaction. I have already recommended her to friends in the arts."

"Sophia was amazing at listening to my goals and ambitions and great at crafting a path to make my artistic dreams a reality. The attention to detail and care for helping others succeed were very evident in her approach. I would definitely recommend booking a session if you are looking for guidance or direction with your art career."
