My art practice mentoring sessions are uniquely tailored to support, encourage, and empower individual writers and artists at various stages of their personal and artistic development.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced writer/artist, my coaching is there to help you reinvigorate your skills and craft and support the development of a new or ongoing project.

20-minute free consultation

Prior to any commitment, I offer a 20-minute free initial consultation to make sure that I can support you in the way you wish to be and that we click. Fill in the form, and I will make contact with you.

The art practice mentoring sessions I offer are uniquely designed to support, encourage and empower writers and arts practitioners. Our work together is aimed at providing you with the structure and confidence to reconnect with your work, seek a widened applied purpose for it, take new formal risks, explore your networks, and deepen your personal & creative path. I welcome arts practitioners of all kinds.

For our mentoring sessions, you’ll bring a project you're working on, or are starting on, and together we’ll explore it, raise questions, and tackle any dilemmas. The sessions are tailor-made from our developing exchanges, and I bring tools, strategies and insights where relevant to help you reconnect with your creative purpose, take new formal risks, and evolve your artistic path.

As a practicing writer and interdisciplinary artist with years of coaching experience, I am committed to supporting transformative developments to your practice. Make contact by applying and I can’t wait to hear from you and support you in this next phase of your artistic journey.

How it works

1

Clarify Your Project & Intention

Sessions are adapted and personal to your directions. All projects carry challenges and frustrations that can overwhelm and create doubt and paralysis. Give yourself the chance to actively address your artistic aims, sense of purpose, and find the resources, formal skills, and motivation to dig deeper into your specific project.

2

Manage & Focus

Our sessions aim to create a valuable and timely space for exploration—a place for both insights and practical tools that can nourish your current practice and enable you to structure and manage the various aspects of the work, including pracical ones. This can include time management, planning a full set or performance, or production scheduling.

3

Tailor-made

The sessions are totally personalised and confidential. Pace and focus is created together so as to best meet your level, experience and needs. We meet every two weeks. In-between sessions is dedicated to making some time to pursue your project and resourcing it. A private platform allows you to show and share work in progress.

4

Transformational Approaches

Experiential circumstances can both enhance and deeply test a poetic/artistic sense of purpose. Questions of identity, backgrounds, languages, play active parts in some of the ways we manifest our creativity. Our work together supports self-awareness for nurturing your creative visions. Slowly you find yourself growing into a strong, confident and impactful practitioner.

Practicals

Blocks of five 1-hour sessions

  • Sessions come in blocks of five 1-hour sessions. They usually take place every two weeks. This means we work together for around two months, which is a very productive amount of time. These blocks are renewable.

Timezones

  • Sessions take place across any timezones. My schedule is adapted to work with you at a mutually most suitable time. I usually invite you on Zoom.

Multilingual

  • Sessions can take place in English, French, or Norwegian. Other languages you speak/write are very welcome in our conversation, whether ancient languages, writing systems or contemporary ones that feature in your work.

Testimonials

  • Working with Caroline is life-changing, art-practice-changing in the most affirmative and authentic and complex of ways. Caroline has an unusual gift for knowing what to say – and what not say, knowing how to say key words, or make suggestions, that allowed me to explore, without being heavy-handed, and yet with the utmost subtlety and precision.

    —Diana T, artist & poet

  • Through the mentoring with Caroline I have gained a real confidence in owning all of my practice, including the mess and confusion of early research and works in progress. Having the time and space set aside to really reflect on my own practice has been so wonderful. I have finished each session so excited and enthustiastic about my own practice and what might come next.

    —Joanna J, writer & producer

  • Caroline has helped me to broaden the scope of my project offering insights, stimulation and encouragement, at the same time creating a space for my own imagination to flourish and for my artistic practice to evolve in exciting new ways. I am ever grateful for her warmth and for her guidance.

    —Jaclyn P, poet & scholar
