Mentoring
Being an artist…
…is a very unique experience. Over the last 20 years, I have been intimately attuned to my own creative process and I have learnt some valuable truths about what it means to exist as an artist and to create your best work, with less suffering and more joy. I have always been passionate about artists helping other artists. It simply can’t be understood in it’s fullness by people who aren’t doing it. This belief has led me to set up crits among my fellow studio mates, and to informally nurture other artists who I have met through Rapture as well as other artist-led projects and collaborations that I have been a part of.
My offering to you
Over the last couple of years, since teaching at Newlyn School of Art as a guest artist, I have begun to take on private clients for mentoring. You can be located anywhere, as we will work together online initially. My focus will be on building a trusting and safe relationship with you so that we can explore together how to dissolve blocks, acclimatise to the reality of making art, and create the conditions for you to bring your best art to fruition. I am orientated towards mentoring you as an artist, more than solving technical issues or giving practical tips. I believe those things follow naturally once your foundational relationship to your art is in established. The button below will take you to the contact page where you can send me a message that simply says ‘mentoring’ and I will get in touch with you to set up an initial call, free of charge to help you decide if you’d like to go for it. Sessions cost £30 for half an hour or £50 for the full hour.
