Artist Mentoring for People Returning to Art

One-to-one mentoring for artists who have lost confidence, lost momentum, or simply lost touch with their practice — and want to start making work again.

You might have studied art years ago and then life took you in another direction. Perhaps work or family took over, perhaps you lost confidence, or perhaps you have continued making work but no longer know where the work is going.

You may be thinking about returning to art school, building a portfolio, or simply wanting to take your work seriously again.

We start with your work: what you are making, what you have made in the past, and what you would like to be making now.

I can help you look at the work with fresh eyes, identify the ideas and interests that are already there, and think about where they could lead. We might look at artists and references, talk through practical obstacles, or explore the habits and assumptions that have made it difficult to keep going.

This isn't about telling you what kind of artist you should be. It is about helping you recognise what matters in your own work and finding practical ways to develop it.
