Testimonials:
“I recently completed a 6-month mentoring placement with Mark Devereux Projects which I found to be totally invaluable in shaping the development of my current arts practise. I worked with Mark over 6 individual sessions where we discussed and analysed my working practice, identified patterns and modes of working and eventually developed a strategic plan that I will carry forward over the next 12-18 months.
The whole process was invigorating from start to finish and I really enjoyed my time and the discussions we had. The process we went through made me look at the way I was working and what I wanted to say as an artist. It made me evaluate every aspect of my practice and re-aligned what I want to achieve with my work.
Working with Mark as a mentor was great as he was incredibly patient and professional and led me to make my own decisions impartially which I found to be incredibly important. I look forward to working with Mark Devereux Projects in the future and can’t recommend highly enough the mentoring and support that I received.”
