Mentoring

Online, one-on-one mentoring sessions for artists, creatives and producers who want practical support to move their ideas forward. Whether you’re developing a new project concept, writing a grant application, planning a tour or exhibition, or figuring out how to get your work into galleries, festivals and creative programs, I can help you shape a clear pathway. With over 20 years’ experience across independent practice, producing, regional arts development and major projects, I offer friendly, honest and tailored guidance that meets you where you’re at. Sessions are supportive, down-to-earth and focused on helping you build confidence, strengthen your ideas, and take the next steps in your creative career.
