Your art deserves more than YouTube tutorials...
Limited slots
What changes
Clarity over complexity. Every single time
I'm Lisa — painter and qualified teacher with 20+ years in the studio. In one honest hour we cut through the noise, find your voice and build a practice that actually moves forward.
In the session
You'll leave with…
- Motivation — the spark to keep going when the work feels hard
- Tools — practical techniques and approaches you can use today
- Clarity — a clear sense of direction and what to make next
An invitation
So you've done all the courses and still don't have the practice you want…
Let me help you uncover the distinctive voice in your art. Let me help you meet your goals. Our work together blends practical, supportive guidance with heartfelt creative exploration, helping you build confidence and find clarity in your practice. Rooted in a deep understanding of the artist's journey, this is an invitation to pause, connect with your intentions, and see your work in a new light. Experience mentoring that feels both accessible and deeply transformative, and begin the journey toward your most exciting, original work.

Starting out
Just starting? Let's build something real.
Skip the years of guessing. We'll lay the foundation that working artists actually use — workflows, focus, and the confidence to put your work out there.
- → Discovering your artistic focus and building momentum
→ Developing technique or a technical aspect of your practice
→ Planning strategies that fit your creative style
→ Balancing art, life, and admin
→ Marketing and documentation
Scaling up
Got a body of work? Time to go bigger.
You're past the basics — now let's get strategic. Audience, partnerships, funding, sharper messaging. The moves that turn a practice into a career.
- → Expanding your practice and ambitions
→ Financial tracking and funding tools
→ Partnership and collaboration strategies
→ Long-term audience engagement and marketing
→ An aligned, realistic path forward
How it works
From "I'm a bit stuck" to a plan you actually want to follow.
No forms to fill in. No waffle. Four simple steps from booking to breakthrough — most artists are in the calendar within five minutes.
- 01
Pick a package & a time
Choose a single session, a three-pack or a voucher, then grab a slot from my live calendar. Takes about a minute.
- 02
Tell me what you're working on
I'll email you personally to confirm the time and ask what to look at — work-in-progress, sketchbook pages, a question that's been nagging you.
- 03
Spend 60 honest minutes together
We meet 1:1 (online or in person). I look properly, listen properly, and we go where the conversation needs to go.
- 04
Leave with a plan you can act on
You walk away with clear next steps for this week — not someday — plus a follow-up note from me with anything we didn't get to.

Questions
Everything you might be wondering.
Who is this actually for?+
Makers and writers — anyone who makes. Whether you're starting out or scaling up an established practice, the session is shaped around where you are.
What if I'm a total beginner?+
Welcome. You either make or you don't, and we can help with that. Sessions for early-stage artists focus on building momentum and a foundation that lasts.
Online or in person?+
Online by default — easiest for solo practitioners anywhere in the world. In person available if you're near South Norfolk.
What if I need more than 60 minutes?+
Sessions can be extended at £40 per hour if you need more time. Just say so when we set up.
Can I gift mentoring to someone?+
Yes — the Mentoring Voucher is a single 1:1 session they can book when they're ready.
