Consultation & Research

With extensive experience in facilitating and building experiential arts programs for non-profit organizations in Toronto, Waterloo, and Hamilton, I love collaborating with organizations to find out what best suits those you support.

Services I can provide include:

- Conducting ethnographic studies in order to outline the best arts programming fit for the populations you support

- Program development, proposal writing and presentations.

- Grant research and writing

- Professional development training

- Program management and facilitation.

Arts engagement has been at the centre of my work since 2007. Working in the arts brings unique challenges to researchers in finding qualitative ways in which to analyze its impacts. I have great interest in re-framing research while still accomplishing outcomes, and building in experiential frameworks to engage and responding to research.

I am particularly keen to work with post-secondary institutions to evaluate, research and apply arts-embedded pedagogy that can result in diverse research and learning outcomes.

I am open to working on existing arts-based research projects or helping to build new directions of inquiry, across disciplines.

My own artistic practice has benefitted deeply from continued mentorship. I find great joy in mentoring and/or supporting artist through one on one consultation. I have been honoured to be included in Ontario Arts Council’s peer assessment panels, and have been a board member for community based galleries and Art Sector non-profit organizations.

I can support you in:

- Building new directions of artistic inquiry.

- Building readiness to take your work in new directions across mediums or into new environments.

- Support you in exploring grant writing and residency opportunities.

- Support the curation of exhibitions of your work.
