IN HER CARE, SHE MAKES DARING COMFORTABLE
Jess Pillmore is a true professional at what she does. Two Parts Magician and One giant part Mamma Bear. In her care, she makes daring comfortable. She coaxes, prods, pokes, then pulls back the curtain and reveals the goods you didn’t even know were hidden in you. I’ve had plenty of mentors and teachers who “get you there” but none as safe and pure as Jess. She is exuberant, playful and incredibly knowledgeable in her field. I do believe she is an expert guide. Her positive psychology is addicting.
– Jennifer Riker (Actor, Film/TV/Stage, Teaching Artist)

This is up your alley if any of these resonate:

- You want a “Yes, I could do all that!” roller coaster of possibilities as we brainstorm and clarify on a specific subject.
- You feel stagnant and are ready to pick yourself instead of wait for others to pick you.
- You are gearing up for a new career/life path: new city, graduating from school, starting a company, going freelance, artist-parent balance…
- You’re a self-starter that needs a little push occasionally… And then watch you go!
This is Not your bag, if:
- You’re looking for one-size-fits-all directions.
- You’re wanting a quick fix. (This is the start of a practice, not the end.)

LARGE TASK… NOT ONLY POSSIBLE BUT EXCITING
Jess Pillmore will rearrange your brain. She is smart, compassionate and skilled. She knows art. Her excitement about my ideas and my day really changed my attitude. This large task I had before me suddenly seemed not only possible but exciting. I used ALL of Jess’s suggestions, from the practical (carry snacks) to the magical (bring a talisman to ground you).
I am so lucky to have done this. It refitted my brain. I was looking at my 12-hour interview day shrouded in dread. I think having a sympathetic ear to help me reframe my day was invaluable.
Jess was calm, clear and funny. My expectations were not met. They were surpassed…
Jess, you are so good at listening. As my boss would say, you looked at what was there instead of trying to foist an agenda of what you with were there. You were the perfect coach. You saw my hard moments of being indicative of positive values.
– Catharine K. Slusar (Actor, Director, and Associate Professor at Bryn Mawr College)
PIVOTAL PART OF MY GROWTH
Jess Pillmore is a sensational creative sounding board! She is an understanding and supportive listener and has a gift for helping you pinpoint your creative goals. She guides you to clarify your process by asking mindful questions shaped to your individual needs. She does not push her own aesthetic and her criticism is always thoughtful, constructive and without agenda. She encouraged me to embrace my unique artistic voice and has been a pivotal part of my growth as a human and a maker of accessible art.
– Lara Segura (Artistic Program Manager, Malashock Dance Co.)
UNPARALLELLED
I have undertaken both one on one mentoring and online training with Jess. Her passion, insight, and compassion for the working artist are unparalleled.
Her teacher training helped me find ways into curriculum development and lesson planning I sorely needed. As a teaching artist, with no formal education training, it was invaluable. In all my years of study, I’ve never experienced such a creative and holistic approach. I will be using the skills I learned for many years to come.
