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 on Zoom

    You can have a single session, a ‘package’ of sessions, or regular sessions, meeting monthly, or seasonally for example. It depends entirely on your needs and our goal.

    You’ll pay via PayPal or bank transfer to confirm your session.

    I’ll send you some questions via email prior to our first meeting, to get an idea of what our focus will be.

    You’ll set your goals and expectations with me during our session. 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.
