“I have benefitted enormously from on-line, one-to-one drawing tutorials with Clare. She has been immensely encouraging and has used her expertise to help me identify what I need to do next to improve my practice. A gifted teacher indeed. ”
“Clare’s 1:1 on-line Mentoring Sessions have been a creative lifeline for me. Clare is a very caring and empathetic tutor/mentor and has helped me push through the barriers caused by the judging mind. She takes time to talk through ideas, offering gentle creative advice helping me move my paintings forward. I feel more daring and willing to take chances in my artistic approach. With a mix of mindfulness, encouragement and sound advice I leave each session feeling inspired and confident.”
“I find Clare easy to work with. She listens deeply to my ideas and delights in my achievements. She helps me to stay authentic with my process as well as inviting a health-giving approach to making art. We start with where we are at and we don’t lose sight of that, but then we inch towards something bigger. ”
“Clare’s one-to-one online mentoring worked a treat. Combining the wonders of e-mail and Zoom we were able to critique and progress my work and let Clare’s insight, wisdom and encouragement overcome the constraints of lock-down”
“Clare’s 1:1 mentoring sessions have been wonderful for me. I really wanted to be able to make art but thought I had no drawing ability. I now have the confidence to draw and am really looking forward to continuing with my own work. Clare has always been kind, supportive and engaged, and her lessons were a real pleasure and have opened a window for me into a whole new way of being”
