Creative coaching isn’t just for established artists. You might have an idea you want to explore, a creative interest you’d like to make more space for, or an existing practice you want to develop further. You don’t need to see yourself as an artist to benefit from a creative approach.
I’m a practising artist myself, working across painting and mixed media. Since 2019, I’ve taken part in Brighton Artists Open Houses, and for the past eight years I’ve hosted and curated my own house each May, bringing together around eight artists. I source the artists, curate the work, organise the exhibition and marketing, and exhibit my own work alongside them.
I’ve also taken part in joint exhibitions and other shows, giving me experience of both the creative process and what’s involved in putting work out into the world.
Creative coaching can be useful when the challenge isn’t necessarily the creative idea itself, but knowing what to do with it. You might be looking for direction, struggling with confidence or consistency, wanting to make your creative practice more sustainable, or needing help with the practical side of sharing and promoting your work.
My role is to help you explore what you want to achieve, work through what might be getting in the way and turn your ideas into practical next steps.
