An Insider's Eye

1:1 Mentoring and Coaching

“I think that was the most useful hour I’ve spent this year,” Shay Parsons, mixed media fine artist.

If you’re looking for more specific guidance or support, especially tailored to your needs, I offer 1:1 mentoring and coaching.

My individual sessions are perfect for you if you’re in the early stages of your creative career and would like support to navigate your new professional world. Or you feel you might be floundering on your professional path.

The session can be a simple ‘insider’s eye’ looking at your work and/or your brand, website and presentation; or we can work together over a longer period  as I support you towards a specific goal.

Our meeting can take place via Zoom but can be in person in Cornwall, Devon, Bristol or London.

I would love to help you achieve your goals,  so please get in touch to discuss.

What Others Say

“The Gallery Success Course has been truly transformative for me. It gave me the confidence to approach galleries professionally, and the results have been wonderful. From my very first outreach, I received brilliant feedback and was invited to exhibit straight away. The course made the whole process feel far more comfortable and achievable. I’m so grateful for this course, and I couldn’t recommend it more!"
AA, Visual Artist
"Elaine's course and the additional 1:1 I had with her were so useful in enabling me to understand the aims and objectives of gallery owners and how I might best present myself to them with the best advantage. It made me feel a lot more confident to talk to gallery owners in the future."
AB, Visual Artist
“I cannot recommend Elaine enough. Elaine has vast experience, she broke down my fears and her course is full of useful tips. Elaine offers valuable insight and a common sense approach to working with galleries. She explained what helps make the difference in being taken seriously and building professional working relationships with galleries. I have since been working with two galleries and have just completed my first solo show where I sold eight paintings. Elaine genuinely cares for you as an artist. I feel less afraid of contacting galleries and my approach is professional. It's the little things that make a world of difference. Thank you, Elaine.”
SH Visual Artist
“I found it really useful to get more of an understanding from a gallery’s perspective. This has really helped my confidence. It helped me get a clearer sense of how to prepare myself when approaching a gallery. There were specific tools I could use, and more importantly an understanding of what a gallery would be looking for from me. I’ve just recently approached some galleries to see if they can place my jewellery and two have said yes, they would love to. They were both very complimentary of the email I sent. One said it was very professional and not something they often received. What a great first step! Thank you so much for the information and the confidence boost.”
RK Jeweller
“I found this course invaluable: how to get 'gallery ready'; how to research and approach appropriate galleries and how to work with galleries. The course was broken down into short sessions making it accessible and achievable. I also found the one-to-one really helpful - having a gallery owner critique my work, website and instagram. I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to exhibit in galleries.”
JW, Ceramicist
“I found this course very helpful. Elaine gives a very clear and concise step by step walk through of preparing for gallery representation, covering so many aspects to consider. I liked her care and attention to detail, and her reassuring and common sense approach. I also found my 1-to-1 session very helpful, with sensitive feedback from Elaine.”
