MENTORING
Grow Your Creative Confidence
Are you an emerging artist feeling overwhelmed by your to-do list and unsure of where to begin with your creative business? Or perhaps you're an established artist struggling to navigate the ever-evolving art landscape and looking for a fresh perspective to get things moving? Look no further! I'm here to offer more than just guidance – I bring a wealth of experience as a surface designer based in sunny Brisbane, Australia.
As a seasoned artist, I wear many creative hats – from art licensing and direct-to-customer sales to wholesale product sales, participating in markets, and conducting both in-person and online workshops. I'm not just an artist; I bring organisation, strategic thinking, IT skills, motivation, and determination to everything I do.
Navigating the art world can be challenging, but with a mentor who understands the industry, success becomes more achievable. I've been exactly where you are, and now I'm here to share my insights and skills to help you thrive in your creative journey.

The goal-setting process is inherently flexible, allowing us to adapt your plan as needed. With this personalised and adaptable support, combined with your self-motivated mindset, you'll be well on your way to reaching your full creative potential.
