Basic idea is you are more capable than you probably realize.
In creativity retreats, and in individual mentoring, we’ll find your artistic and creative ideas.
I’ll help you translate those into doable goals – objects or experiences.
We’ll find the studio practices and life habits that work best for you.
You’ll grow as an artist, in your own direction and pacing, rooted in your own creative loves and goals.

We all have a creative purpose here. You may have a hard time seeing it.
But I can hear and see you, and help you reconnect to your creative purpose,
to see, hear, trust and act on what you already have.
I offer free half-hour chats: if you want to blossom into your own creativity, let’s talk.
Creativity inspires us to make something new, unique, personal. Something unlike anything that exists.
Art-making relies on cross-referencing, communication and problem-solving.
Artists become skilled at these practices, after years of making things.
So drawing on my life as an artist, to teach you, comes naturally. For almost three decades, I’ve taught people like you to connect to your creative core, whatever your field is.
