Hello, I’m Bonnie Griffith a 2 year mentor with Mastrius. 

 This platform of mentoring has proven successful for both mentors and mentees in so many ways. For the mentor there are many tools provided for advertising on all social media, websites and direct email. Thats a lot of promotional content that the mentor doesn’t have to take time to create. 

For artists who want a mentorship there is a huge listing of mentors that can fit your specific needs and besides the basic mentoring, Mastrius has so many other features to learn from such as demos and panel discussions. I think the Mastrius program is so successful because the artist can hone in on exactly what they are needing help with or gaining a new skill set. 

Mastrius has definitely enhanced my audience and income stream based on exposure from the platform. I would certainly recommend the program to artists seeking ways to build their business and enhance their artistic skill sets!

Mastrius is a wonderful platform that allows for a unique teaching environment, I would recommend other artist mentors to check out Mastrius. 

The small groups provide an intimate environment and students can participate as much or as little as they want. It's a great system for both the mentor and the students as they can customize their classes to what they specifically want to learn all while developing strong friendships with their fellow students. 

I've been with Mastrius for 1 year and had a wonderful group during that time. Mastrius has given me exposure to groups of artists and students that I would have never met before! I highly recommend Mastrius both for artist mentors and students.

I believe that the program will continue to enhance ones life long learning whether you are a mentor or mentee. Paying it forward with ones experience and knowledge creates a wonderful learning climate. Coaches/artists should reach out to Mastrius for the latest developments in their craft. Mentors are challenged with staying in the present/future when it comes to 'new'. 

It is an easy platform for someone to sit in the convenience of their home to listen and partake in sessions. 

As well, the homework provided gives them hands on opportunity to learn through doing and get support when needed. I am just now starting in the Mastrius program and am so looking forward to becoming a part of it! It has changed my life through having to think as a mentee and their needs and research on ways to help/support/answer their questions through collaboration and use of my experiences. As well, it has demonstrated to me a different platform with which to use to support coaches with whom my only contact (because of proximity) allows us to communicate and collaborate. 

I have an instructor for mastrius for 3 years. It was a pleasure to be able to be received so easily in this technical world of on line instruction. 

My navigator was my lifeline to begin mentoring the nicest of aspiring artists. Many have become my friends, and I have seen them grow and change into talented confident artists. The beauty and brilliance of mastrius is every month is a new lesson so you can fit right in at any time. 

The chat becomes our communication to receiving instant learning information. Mastrius has not only taught me by teaching them, but has allowed me to grow in communication skills to further their growth. The feedback which is instant on both sides of our skill set is key to Mastrius having a cutting edge successful art learning program.

I would recommend Mastrius to other potential artist mentors for a number of reasons: they are always there to help if you need help, and have thought through what the mentor might need, and have a variety of support systems available. 

Artists benefit from joining Mastrius because each person is guided in the direction of their interest, with their experience and vision taken into account. 

I have been with Mastrius since May 2023 Mastrius has given me an opportunity to engage with creative people in system that will structured for the needs of the mentor and mentees, remains open-ended. This has allowed me to feel that I was really involved in their explorations.

Mastrius has given me a community of artists who are also building art businesses - I don't feel so isolated as an artist! I've been with Mastrius 2 years. My Mastrius mentors taught and solidified painting skills that drastically improved my paintings and confidence. I'm currently building marketing skills help move my business forward. My style is much more my own since starting Mastrius. It's helped me understand what I want my paintings to be and how to achieve it. Collaboration of ideas with my mentors and fellow group members has been motivating and supportive - it was just what I needed to continue my journey as an artist.

Mastrius has been nothing short of transformational for me as an aspiring and now emerging artist!

I started 3 years ago by joining a group in Acrylics with Heather Pant, who is to this day one of the most inspiring painters I know. I transitioned over to oils and eventually tried watercolors - Mastrius has pushed my boundaries medium wise and opened up new different ways of achieving potential beyond what I originally had envisioned for myself. In particular, I find the Mastrius Art Shows to be inspiring and push me to put myself out there, and even make my first sales!

Love the Mastrius community and am grateful for all that it offers.

Mastrius has introduced me to a community of artists worldwide and some of the best master artists around. I have been 3.5 years with Mastrius. I have gained more confidence in my artistic skills. My style and techniques have become more integrated and interesting to pursue. I have seen an increase in sales and I have participated in many more opportunities for art shows and events.

I have loved my Mastrius community for almost 2 years! I am an older student who basically had not painted for years… though missed it. I needed confidence and encouragement, which my amazing mentor and group gives me. We get homework projects, critique, demonstrations, advice and friendship monthly.

After retiring from a government job of 28 years, I switched directions and took up art. Although I took 3 years of Fine Art, I have found this mentorship more valuable than I could have ever imagined. I’ve been with Mastrius for a year now and have 3 mentors right now: 1 for colour, 1 for perspective and 1 for business. Where else could I get all this under one umbrella!!! I am in more shows, being recognized, and have validation in my art. Thank you Mastrius for providing such a wonderful platform for artists to achieve their personal goals.

Mastrius has pushed me out of my comfort zone making me grow as an artist while also affirming my art practice. It has introduced me to new strategies and techniques and I have connected with many fabulous, supportive people. I’ve been mentored by many amazing artists for over 3 years and all of the mentors have given me pause to reflect and analyze my art process. I have also learned so much from the other artists in the groups I’ve been in. The online sessions make it convenient and easy to engage and the Navigators are so great at keeping you on track. You can be vulnerable in a safe space. I’ve become more confident in my voice as an artist. Mastrius also provides opportunities for artists to show their work and make connections. Thank you Mastrius!

I love and enjoy all the live chats and demos on Mastrius. Have been a member for I think past 6 years and have enriched myself with lots of new ideas and demos. It’s fun and educational. I don’t have to step out to attend an art college. I learn the techniques from the maestros and have implement it on my paintings right at home.
