Consultation Information

While your consultation will be tailored specifically to you, you can generally expect that the session will begin by reviewing the information you’ve sent via the Pre-Consultation Form and the images/documents you may have sent via Dropbox and Google Docs. For in-person meetings, you may also bring in a few small original pieces, if you wish.

In your time together, your consultant will look at your work with you and offer a critique of what's working and what's not, discussing some goals to make a plan for the near future.

To make the most of your session, we suggest having high priority topics or questions ready for your consultant. Please consider taking notes during your meeting. If you’d like to record the session, please let the consultant know ahead of time. We ask that you please not share your recording publicly.

NOTE: Should you need to contact us within 24 hours of your consultation, it’s ideal to contact your Consultant directly as your message may otherwise not be be seen prior to your appointment time. To reschedule or cancel your session, please refer to our cancellation policy above.

What to expect at your Online Consultation.

Prior to your meeting, your consultant will have reviewed your Pre-Consultation Form, website, social platforms, and any images you will have sent them via Dropbox or Google Drive (such as detail shots, images of your work in situ, works in progress, etc.). They will have those images at the ready during your consultation. 

In an online consultation, you’ll share a screen with your consultant so you’re both able to view the same sites and images at the same time. You can also hold works up to the screen to show them detail and share your work space should you be in your studio for the consult.

For all online consultations, please ensure you are in a space with a strong internet connection for your consultation, that you have an updated browser, and have closed any unnecessary programs.

For best results, a desktop or laptop computer is ideal, providing you with a larger screen and often reasonably good sound quality for your microphone and speakers. If this is not an option, you may be able to work with a mobile device such as a tablet or your phone if necessary, but these devices are generally not optimal.

If you’d like to record the session, please let the consultant know ahead of time. We ask that you please not share your recording publicly.

IN-PERSON WITH PENNYLANE SHEN

Pennylane will meet with you at her office space, unless other arrangements have been made. 

Pennylane’s office is located at 204-1000 Parker Street, in the Parker Street Studios building in Vancouver. 

There is normally street parking within a couple of blocks of the building, and there is a bike rack out front. The #22 bus route stops within two blocks of the building.

The entry to the building is on George Street, via the glass door off the loading dock. Walk down the hall then up one flight of stairs and you find Studio 204 directly to your right.

Note: If the glass door is locked, you may enter the building using the Enterphone system, located to the right of the door. Use the # key to scroll up the directory to find “Pennylane Shen 204”, then press the Call key. Pennylane will then buzz you into the building. If you’re not able to connect through the Enterphone, please text Pennylane at 778.999.7436.

IN-PERSON WITH DAVID ELLINGSEN

David will meet with you at his office space, unless other arrangements have been made.

David's office is located in his Victoria home studio at 3017 Millgrove Street.

There is always lots of street parking. If you’re travelling by bicycle, just bring it around with you to the studio. The #8, #9, and #11 bus routes stop on Gorge Road W at Millgrove, about a block from the studio; and the #21, #22, and #26 bus routes stop on Burnside Road W at Millgrove about two blocks from the studio.

When you arrive, come around to the backyard and you’ll see the studio outbuilding. David will be there, ready to go. If you have any troubles finding things or are running late, call or text David at 604 727 2429.
