1:1 Mentoring - Online or in Person

I run tailored mentoring sessions that will empower you to learn, develop, grown and thrive. These sessions are for anyone that would benefit from some specific support whatever stage they are at in their creative journey. Mentoring is something I feel very passionate about and I so enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience of the art world with others, whilst being a supportive and encouraging guide.

Ahead of the first session, I will send out a detailed questionaire to understand more about where you are in your practice, so I can deliver the best support. At the end of each session, I will also send you a follow up email summarising what was discussed, including any links and recommendations.


Location
The sessions can either take place online via Zoom or in person at my art studio in Falmouth, Cornwall.

ARTISTS TESTIMONIALS:

‘Laura is a wise and gentle mentor. She has helped me look at my work and process objectively and enabled me to move forward in ways I could not have previously imagined. She has given me confidence to show my work and talk about it to others.
I could not have got to where I am now in my mind set and career without her generous and skilful direction. It has truly been life changing.'

‘I worked with Laura over a 3 month period and during that time made huge advances with my art as I had a focused plan and regular checks ins with her that kept me accountable. From working with her I now have a greater sense of direction around my next steps which feels most empowering’.
