ONE-TO-ONE MENTORING FOR PEOPLE Who require A COMBINATION OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND CREATIVITY COACHING

What’s involved?

When you sign up for a one-month or three-month mentorship programme, you will receive a weekly email asking you to set a focus for your art-making each week and to reflect back on your achievements and the challenges you face. Through this regular pattern of action, reflection and adaptation, you will soon begin to make progress with your work and form a rhythm that supports your pracitce.

One-to-one calls are an opportunity to discuss where you are in your art practice at the moment and gain support in setting goals and moving towards them. With one call of up to an hour for each month of your mentorship, you have the opportunity to choose the subject matter of our conversation depending on the support you require. It may be that you feel you would benefit from some honest feedback on recent creations or that you would like to discuss what the next step should be in your creative journey; perhaps you are starting to think about finding ways to try and make money from your art and would like advice from someone who has enjoyed an income from a variety of creative sources or maybe you are at the point of considering venues for your first exhibition and would like some extra support.

Calls last for up to one hour and are scheduled at a time to suit both parties.

Why should you work with me?

With a wealth of experience in a variety of different roles across the field of art, I am able to approach you and your art from the viewpoint of curator, journalist, teacher and fellow artist. Supporting artists in expanding their comfort zone to create their best work is not only one of my strengths, but something that brings me great pleasure. Having built a body of work for an art fair and Open Studios in less than a year whilst working part time and mothering two sons, I understand the highs and lows of this creative rollercoaster and would relish the opportunity to support you on this journey of exploration and expansion.

What DO OTHER PEOPLE SAY?

“I first met Julia on a 30 day challenge and was so impressed by her weekly check-in process and encouragement that I jumped at the chance of more in-depth mentoring with her. I found that the monthly calls gave a fantastic balance of inspiration and ideas alongside practical help and advice from a working artist. The in-depth weekly email reviews kept me motivated and focused on being creative as well as providing helpful feedback on the work I was producing. Julia's guidance and leadership have really worked for me on this creative journey and given me the confidence to show my work to others and to present it for sale.”
- Teresa Trangmar on her experience of a three-month mentorship.

“The minute you will get to work with Julia, you will experience her inner joy, love and beauty. These qualities shine through in whatever she does: her inspirational guidance, her art, her writing and her videos. Julia knows on a deep level the relevance of appreciating life and sharing joy. I feel very grateful and extremely fortunate to have the continuous support of this talented soul. On days, when I feel doubts and fears coming up, she always helps me see why I’m on this path of a creative life.”
- Brigitte Gleissner on her experience of one-to-one calls.

“I’m working on my website and feeling in flow, I have a lot more clarity on it now. I had the fear that it won’t be right and your workshop (and your advice) helped me to see that if I just commit to something, and work on it with enthusiasm, it will evolve into ‘the right thing’. Just like a piece of art!”
- Sally
