I am a writer and coach based in London. I’m the author of More Than The Eyes: Art, Food & The Senses and Co-Art: Artists on Creative Collaboration, and a regular contributor to a range of publications including frieze, Art Monthly, Art Quarterly and The World of Interiors. As a coach, I work with artists, writers and creative professionals who want greater clarity and fulfilment in their practice and careers.

I bring my experience of more than 20 years working across the field of contemporary art: as a writer and editor; curator and commissioner of contemporary art in museums, non-profit spaces, commercial galleries and independent projects; as a university tutor; and as a coach to artists working across all media. I integrate this experience with my skills as a yoga and meditation teacher, and my training in neurodiversity- and trauma-informed modalities.

I work with artists and creatives at every stage of their career: emerging, mid-career and established, to clarify vision, build confidence and create a sustainable practice. Together, we develop actionable strategies tailored to your goals. Sessions are available online and in person, as single appointments or as 6- and 12-session packages, and I offer a sliding scale of rates. I also offer group coaching programmes.
