Marina Press Granger founded The Artist Advisory in 2018 with a mission to empower artists to advance their careers through a blend of practical strategies and holistic guidance. With 15 years of experience in NYC galleries, including seven years as a gallery director, Granger brings a unique perspective on the inner workings of the art world. The company’s approach is not as an agent but as a “guidance counselor” for artists, offering personalized advice and direction to help them navigate the art world confidently. Granger has successfully guided artists into securing bicoastal gallery representation, exhibiting at major art fairs like The Armory Show, Frieze, NADA, and Untitled, and achieving sales beyond what they could have ever imagined.
Granger’s journey began with her immigration from Ukraine to the United States in 1991. Growing up with the scarcity mindset shaped by the Soviet era, she learned to overcome limiting beliefs and create the life of her dreams in New York City. Today, she is passionate about helping artists release scarcity and embrace their own potential through mindset and manifestation, guiding them to step fully into their power.
Granger lives and works in New York City. She holds a BA and MA in Art History, merging her deep academic knowledge with real-world experience. Additionally, as a certified Reiki Master and practitioner of Classical Chinese Feng Shui, she integrates spiritual tools into her work with artists, helping them cultivate an open mindset toward abundance and creativity.
