The confident painter: Creativity, Resilience & Wellbeing
A seminar for students, aspiring artists and anyone at a crossroads in their creative life, The Confident Painter will expose and debunk the barriers to creativity we set up for ourselves. Exploring approaches to practice whilst deconstructing the creative mindset, I present tried and tested methods for addressing confidence, motivation and engagement to enable your work to flourish.
