Artist Testimonials
“I wish every artist had the opportunity to engage in mentorship with Ida Sophia. When I first met Ida she was a guest lecturer with the World of Co Artist Residency I was a part of, and she taught us about performance and participatory art. I remember waking up at 4AM in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to attend a lecture she was giving virtually over zoom from her home in Australia. I had thought about skipping these early meets but after the first session with Ida I made it a point to wake up before dawn each time she was leading a discussion. Ida teaches and mentors with such a depth of knowledge, support, grace, and encouragement that would ground me for months after just one hour together. I have many tools in the form of exercises, readings, and mantras that I return to time and again for support thanks to my mentorship opportunity with Ida. I cannot recommend her enough. She is pure gold.”
Margaret Thompson, Artist (USA)
“Ida’s mentorship continues to be a deeply enriching exchange, that offers a safe space to discuss, share, dream and wonder. Sessions with Ida are thorough, considered and perfectly tailored to honour the artist, the practice and the human- making for a broadly developed engagement that covers so much beyond just the art…
The mentor sessions have become a keystone to my work, which I couldn’t recommend highly enough. With the thoughtful guidance of Ida, I continue to expanded my creative processes, conceptual refinement, management skills and self care- all so essential to the longevity of ones practice! “
Bridie Hooper, Artist (Australia)
