Helping you find the words that open doors, creating space for the art you make…

What do I offer?

Coaching to develop your confidence in talking and writing about your art practice.

I work with absolute beginners through to established artists.

  • I can help you...


    Talk…
    - Articulate and develop the ways that you describe what you do.
    - Use words to communicate your ‘line of enquiry’ – what your work deals with.
    - Making sure it’s relevant and accessible for a variety of audiences.
    - Audiences include our family and friends, potential clients, gallerists, and anyone else who we engage with about our work.

    Write…
    - Your artist statement.
    - A letter or proposal to a gallery, or other exhibition space.
    - An application for a residency or funding.
    - Bio or information about You for your website or social media profile.

  • What are my relevant skills and experience?


    I have 19 years experience teaching Art at all levels up to Masters Degree, focussing on personal pathways – our ‘lines of enquiry’.

    I design and lead workshops, residencies, and critiques with a focus on language. Working with the way words can lift us up to make space for what we make.

    I have taught English including spoken language, in both art and non-art contexts.

    I’m a practicing artist. I work solo, and collaboratively. And I’m writing and talking in many of the contexts you find yourself in.

    I do this work for artists and students at a variety of Universities, and other education settings, galleries, and artist-run spaces. And I offer one to one sessions.  

  • How does it work?


    One to one sessions cost £60 per hour and take place online.

    Booking a pair of sessions is the best way to start:
    Session 1 - We dig into your practice
    Session 2 - We begin the word-crafting

    But I’m flexible - you can book a single session, a package of sessions, or arrange regular meetings (monthly, seasonally, or whatever suits your rhythm). It all depends on your needs and our goals.

    To confirm your session, you'll pay via PayPal or bank transfer.

    Before we meet, I’ll send you a few questions by email to help clarify our focus.

    In your session, you’ll set your goals and expectations with me - and we’ll get straight to work on finding the words you need.

What I don’t do…
I don’t write or craft your words for you. Instead I’ll guide you and work with you to pull together a strong, clear, coherent basis for you to work from. You will adapt, edit, and refine this for your needs.

What are the next steps?…

Email me.

Ask any questions you have, and explain a bit about the work you’d like to do with me. We’ll go from there.

I love helping people make sense and refine the way they use words. I’m really looking forward to meeting you.
