Artist Readings
Symbolic reflection for artists exploring how they would like their work to resonate
These sessions are a space to explore the deeper emotional, symbolic, and relational patterns shaping your work and creative life.
I think of them as a kind of tuning fork between inner and outer worlds — a space to explore resonance, contradiction, perception, and what is trying to emerge through the work.
Together we look at the relationship between what you currently resonate with and what you long to move towards creatively, emotionally, and symbolically, in order to create greater congruence between the artist, the practice, and the wider ecosystem surrounding it.
What we might explore
recurring themes, symbols, and tensions within the work
creative blocks or periods of transition
questions of visibility, identity, and artistic direction
emotional or symbolic undercurrents shaping the practice
repetition, self-protection, and resistance
artistic lineage, influence, and relational dynamics
the relationship between the work and the wider ecosystem around it
what feels most alive within the practice — and what may be obstructing or muting that signal
These are not conventional critiques or predictive tarot readings.
The cards function as symbolic tools for reflection and perception — a way of opening new conversations around the work, the artist, and the patterns shaping creative practice.
Single Session — €60
90-minute Zoom session
A symbolic reflection session exploring a particular project, creative block, transition, or recurring pattern within your practice.
Before the session, you send:
a small selection of images
optional notes or writing
and a few thoughts about what currently feels unresolved, repetitive, alive, or in transition within the work
Afterwards, you receive:
a recording of the conversation
photographs of the card spreads
a clearer sense of the next step in your practice
a set of questions and prompts drawn from the session, so you can keep working with what has come into view.
Studio States — 3 Session Series — €135
A longer process for artists wanting sustained reflection, accountability, and support around a project or creative transition.
Together we explore:
what is trying to emerge through the work
what may be obscuring or constraining its potential
recurring emotional or symbolic patterns
practices, rhythms, and structures that support creative momentum and clarity
Designed to help projects:
radiate more fully
shed what feels misaligned or overburdened
and develop through ongoing dialogue, reflection, and perceptual refinement
After each session you will receive:
a recording of the conversation
photographs of the card spreads
a clearer sense of the next step in your practice
a set of questions and prompts drawn from the session, so you can keep working with what has come into view.
Testimonials
“A psycho-advisory session that worked like a midwifery of practice.”
“The reading organised fragments of self-knowledge and made them visible as structures and diagrams.”
“The cards opened up wonderful spaces: up and down, back and forth, future and past.”
“It felt illuminating, nurturing, and uncannily accurate.”
“You were gentle and attentive in the true sense of attention: waiting and listening.”
Reflections from artists following Artist Reading sessions
If you sense there’s a deeper structure shaping your work but can’t quite see it yet, the reading is a way to bring it into view.
About me
My background as a painter informs the way I work. I’m especially interested in atmosphere, tension, fragmentation, symbolism, repetition, emotional logic, and the relationship between image-making and perception itself.
I’m interested in creating spaces where artists can encounter their work — and themselves — differently.
