“I really enjoyed working with Vicky on a project proposal and a grant application. She understood my ideas immediately and proposed an effective presentation strategy to establish the points to bring forward. Vicky has a great deal of expertise in this field, and knows how to present a clear proposal that will inspire the jury. I have learned a lot in a short period of time working with her and she has inspired me to take my ideas further. Thank you Vicky!” — Stéphanie Morissette, artist
“Vicky hired me as a graphic designer to work with her on a temporary museum exhibition she curated. While she had a very clear conceptual vision about the desired visitor experience, she gave me creative space to develop the visual language and she trusted my professional judgment. I appreciate enormously our cooperation and her straightforward feedback that led to an exhibition that I am proud to showcase in my portfolio.” — Fabian Will, graphic designer
“My consulting experience with Vicky was extremely useful. She helped me obtain my first Canada Council for the Arts grant in 2019 and also helped me clarify future goals for my career and the steps I needed to take to get there. With her wealth of experience I was getting relevant and practical knowledge – a true insider’s perspective. At the same time I always felt respected by Vicky and that I was getting advice based on what my goals were. I feel comforted and confident to know that Vicky is there to help with the other side of my practice – galleries, grants, etc.” — Scott Bertram, artist
“I had a fantastic experience working with Vicky. She is very clear and knowledgeable with her insights into the grant writing process, and in my case specifically her help with the budget portion was invaluable! I highly recommend her personalized consultations for all and anything art grant related. Thank you so much Vicky!” — Frances Enyedy, artist
“I am so pleased that I was able to hire Vicky to review an application for me. She is clearly very experienced in her field. Her insight led me to articulate things about my art practice that I never had before: important things that I was taking for granted. She let me write in my own way and patiently helped me refine the ideas, in the ways that I felt comfortable. I really appreciated her speed and efficiency. Vicky’s warm personality put me at ease. I am very happy with the quality of my text. A positive experience all around” — Shelley Vanderbyl, artist
