Creative Development: Mentoring and Coaching

The benefits of professional guidance

If you really want to develop creatively there is no level of experience where feedback and assistance is not valuable. I know this to be true from over four decades experience in the arts sector working with fellow artists, curators, galleries, museums and arts organisations.

Being creative at any level can be rewarding but how do you start and later on know you are on the right track? Useful feedback may come from friends and family, and perhaps your peers and public, but sooner or later you will probably feel a need for more personal, targeted help with specific topics or challenges.

I have benefited from professional guidance in the past so now it is my turn to help you learn new skills and overcome creative challenges.  You can choose different services depending on your interests, age, background and experience.

Put a toe in the water

Whether you are seeking some advice on a particular topic, or want some longer term support, it’s important we first find out whether we could work together effectively. I recommend booking a 30 min meeting online for us to discuss your needs. This involves a fee of £35.00 which includes my written proposal/recommendations.
