“When I started working with Brainard I had two main goals: getting my work exhibited in a museum and making money out of my conceptual art projects. It took eight months to achieve the first goal and a little over a year for the second. With a gentle and steady approach, Brainard helped me realize what was blocking me from achieving my goals and then he coached me to achieve them. What makes Brainard so effective is that he is both an artist and a mentor, a coach and the biggest fan you can get. If you are serious about committing to your work as an artist, working with Brainard will get you closer to your dreams.”
—Xavier Roux
