CREATIVE SHIFT
That's it for another year -
CREATIVE SHIFT 2023 was amazing!
If you would like to join us in 2024 - Sign up to the WAIT LIST below:

Q: Do you feel stuck or frustrated in your creative practice?
Q: Would you like to get to know and understand your work better?
Q: Have you taken lots of art courses but now want to focus on making YOUR own work?​
Q: Do you feel overwhelmed with too many ideas and don’t know how to move forward?
I know these feelings because I’ve been there too - and even worse, many times the frustration has led to complete paralysis in my studio - this was SUCH an uncomfortable place to be.
I knew there must be a way of working through these problems in a methodical way before I gave up!
As creative beings, it’s absolutely wonderful that we want to try so many things and I’m totally in support of this. It adds to our creative melting pot of ideas and keeps our curiosity alive - but at some point, many of us reach a place of ‘What now?’ and with so many thoughts and possibilities buzzing around, the feeling of overwhelm kicks in and we don’t know how to move forward.

I’ve shared my framework, CREATIVE SHIFT with many artists and have seen so many wonderful ‘shifts’ - artists who felt just like you, but who are now applying this framework each time their work evolves.
Some artists experience shifts in their work, others experience shifts on a more personal level,
but what they all share is the ability to access a thoughtfully curated journey of introspection which
brings focus and clarity to where they’re heading.
How is that possible?
​
Through deep reflection and exploration of my own creative path, I created a structure which provides a step by step process of understanding your own work and its uniqueness. From the point of inspiration through to the consideration of visual elements and the materials and processes you use. The framework offers you a way to connect the threads in your work which brings a sense of cohesion and allows you to trust in your own path.
When we better understand ourselves and the work we create, it ignites a renewed sense of confidence, excitement and courage to move forward!
