Hilary Irons Studio Consulting & Advisory



I'm a painter and curator based in Portland, Maine, and I offer studio support and consultation for visual artists.

My sessions are tailored to the needs of the individual. I specialize in goal-oriented studio visits, building strategies for sustainable creative practices in all disciplines. This can be in support of specific applications or projects, or it can be a more overarching form of studio support. One of my key strengths is informed support with artists' writing, and my services include document editing and creating press releases.

I’ve mentored artists who have successfully gained gallery representation, grants, spots at residencies, and acceptance to competitive MFA programs (BU, Yale, SAIC, UCLA, etc).

My aim is to help you see your artwork with clarity and critical distance, in order to get to the heart of what you really want to make.
