* 'I know I'm creative but I often feel stuck and frustrated.'

* 'I have so many ideas - I feel overwhelmed, I'd love some clarity!'

* 'I've taken lots of art courses but I just want to make my OWN work'

What I hear artists say...

I hear you!

And 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.

Please note: This isn't a course about painting!

it's so much more... (see below) 

Here's how I can help you:

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. CREATIVE SHIFT offers you the guidance, prompts and exercises to explore all of these areas (and more!). My framework helps you to connect the threads in your work which brings a sense of cohesion and allows you to trust in your own path. 

Clarity + Focus

I’ve shared my framework 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 levelbut what they all share is the ability to access a thoughtfully curated journey of introspection which brings clarity and focus to where they’re heading.

When we better understand ourselves and the work we create, it ignites a renewed sense of confidence, excitement and courage to move forward!

What is a 'Creative Shift'?

‘Creative Shift’ refers to a change in an individuals approach, mindset, or perspective that leads to a new and innovative way of thinking, problem-solving, or creating.

 

It often involves leaving behind old patterns and behaviours which are no longer supporting ones practice. Through the exploration of fresh ideas and new perspectives, new and more supportive processes can be implemented.

'Shifts' can occur in various contexts, such as in ones art work, personal life or other, creative endeavour.

Although not always a comfortable transition, shifts are often essential for progression.
