Artist Essentials Program

Hello! My name is Dr Louise R Mayhew. I’m an Australian art historian, an accredited member of the International Association of Art Critics and a Premium Member of NAVA. I am hopelessly in love with contemporary art: I’m equally excited by the clean finishes of pure abstraction and the gritty mess of relational aesthetics. For over a decade, I’ve been helping emerging creatives to navigate the artworld and academia, first as a university lecturer and more recently as an artist mentor and grant consultant. I’m dedicated to helping artists write about their practice and supporting them to meet exciting and viable career goals.
