Mentoring
I offer one-to-one mentoring for artists working in painting and expanded painting practices, as well as academic mentoring for artists undertaking postgraduate and doctoral research.
Mentoring is practice-led, critical and practical, shaped around the specific needs of each artist or researcher. Sessions focus on clarifying work in development, articulating research and positioning practice within professional and institutional contexts.
My approach is informed by my experience as a practising artist, researcher and mentor, working across studio practice, writing and higher education.

Mentoring may include:
- Critical discussion of work in progress
- Clarifying themes, methods and research questions
