Consultations, tutorials and mentorship

Thank you for considering booking a consultation with me. These sessions are designed to provide tailored support to help you navigate your creative journey, whether you’re developing your practice, tackling a specific project, or seeking ongoing mentorship.

Each consultation is rooted in a dedication to nurturing creativity while providing the adaptability and framework necessary to help you achieve your goals. Consultations are available to artists, curators, writers, and anyone pursuing a career in the arts—at any stage of their career or level of experience.

This page is designed to maximise the value of your session. Below, you’ll find a form to help identify your key areas of focus, questions, and preferences for our meeting. By completing the form in detail, you’ll help us both prepare effectively.

What do the consultations offer?

Consultations are particularly beneficial for those who are developing their practice, preparing applications or academic writing, developing a new project, or reaching pivotal moments in their practice. Whether you’re preparing a portfolio or dissertation, applying for a residency or course, grappling with contradictions, or seeking a critical framework to address your questions, I’m here to help. Here are some of the ways I can assist:

• Developing your studio practice or preparing a portfolio
• Articulating your practice and writing an artist’s statement
• Writing proposals for exhibitions, residencies, funding applications and other open calls
• Writing and reviewing essays, dissertations and other academic and creative writing formats
• Promoting your art practice, finding opportunities and expanding your network
• Building, expanding or reviewing your website, portfolio or online profile
• Exhibition-making, curating, or working with galleries and curators/artists
• Developing and managing a project, with workflow, timeline and budget
• Conducting research, developing research questions and a literature review
• Self-publishing, limited editions, selling work, commissions, collaborations and partnerships

These consultations benefit socially engaged artists, performance and installation artists, video and sound artists, media and digital artists, sculptors, painters, print-makers, designers, artist educators, curators, writers, researchers and anyone who is pursuing a career in the arts.

• One-Hour Consultation Ideal for troubleshooting specific questions or planning a project, such as preparing an application. Alternatively, we can use this as an introductory session to explore your practice and requirements, and develop an action plan for ongoing mentorship.
• Two-Hour Consultation A deeper dive into your practice, writing, or project development. Together, we’ll unpack your ideas, review your practice or writing, and produce an action plan.
• Complimentary 15-Minute Chat If you’re unsure about booking a full consultation or would like to discuss your needs before committing, feel free to book a free 15-minute introductory chat. This is a great opportunity to explore how I can support your goals.
