Apply NowIf you’ve built a career that looks solid from the outside—but quietly feel like you’ve hit a ceiling—this video is for you.
This isn’t about motivation or starting out. It’s about what comes next when you’re already in the room… but want to move with more clarity, strategy, and momentum.
Watch the video to step inside the Artist Mastermind Circle and see how established artists are getting the support, insight, and level of conversation that actually moves their careers forward.
This is not theoretical support. It’s practical, specific, and personal.
Between sessions, you have direct access to me for the things that actually move your career forward. Support navigating conversations with gallerists, commissioners, and institutions. Guidance when you’re preparing for a studio visit, responding to an email, negotiating a fee, or deciding whether to say yes, no, or not yet.
Each week, we’ll solve the real challenge in front of you, from the email you’re stuck on, the price you’re scared to name, the opportunity you don’t want to mess up. We work through it together, step by step.
And just as importantly, we celebrate wins. Big and small. Because noticing progress is what builds confidence, momentum, and the courage to keep going when things feel tough or uncertain.
The Circle is more than just coaching with me.
Previous cohorts have built lasting connections across continents — visiting each other’s studios, showing up at private views, and continuing to support one another well beyond the programme.
A dedicated coaching strategy session and in-person dinner in London help cement these bonds, giving you not just clarity and confidence but a trusted network of peers who truly get it.

Apply if: You are an experienced early-mid or mid-career artist and this reflects your experience:
You have an established practice with a professional track record. Your work has been shown in recognised public or private galleries and curated or institutional contexts, including commissions or international projects. You have experience selling work, being collected, and working with curators, gallerists, or commissioning organisations. You are focused on building consistency, scale, and momentum.
You’re ready to take the next step in your career, eager to build new connections with ambitious international peers, and committed to investing in your growth.
Being part of the Artist Mastermind Circle has been transformative. The bi-weekly sessions were incredibly helpful, especially knowing the topics in advance and being able to prepare. Setting clear, detailed goals early on and hearing others’ goals encouraged me to push myself. It was so valuable to turn my swirling thoughts into a concrete plan.

The group’s support and the open conversations about gallery relationships were especially useful. Most importantly, I felt part of a community of artists who listen, support, and help each other—something I haven't experienced since art school.
Cohort Member
I feel much more in control of my career - in the driving seat and not just a passenger. The group coaching sessions always got us fired up and ready to take action.

Q. How do I know if I’m an experienced mid-career artist?
You have a clear, established practice with a strong national and growing international profile. Your work has been exhibited in recognised public and private galleries, included in institutional contexts, and may include public art commissions, biennials, or curated international projects. You have a track record of sales, collections, and critical attention, with ongoing curatorial or organisational support. You’re building scale, consistency, and influence, even as demand naturally ebbs and flows.
