Spark Portfolio
Does your child love art?
Do they want to go to an art high school?
Do you need help with the portfolio?
Do you feel overwhelmed by the process?
We are here to help.
Since 2016, we have helped children and families prepare for art high school portfolio creation. Since 2020, we are versed in the digital process in a covid world. Make no mistake, this is like interviewing for a job, except, it’s for your middle schooler.
We will bring our expertise as artists and teachers with the intention to help them land their program/school of choice.

Parents
It is our intention to help you through this journey by preparing you and your child. We’re here to guide, inspire and keep your child on target. They will grow as artists as well as human being through our high level of personal instruction. Additionally, we’ll remind you of dates and deadlines to keep them working. Ultimately, we will combine your child’s talents and personality together to create a level of work you will both be proud of.
Students
This program requires a level of commitment. It’s about putting in the time for something that you love to get into your #1 School. Your art has the power to open worlds so ask yourself:
Where can your creativity take you?
Are you ready to learn and make your best work?
If that’s a yes, then lets begin a journey to do just that.
