CREATIVITY, CONFIDENCE, STORYTELLING AND THE POWERFUL ROLE CONNECTION PLAYS IN HOW PEOPLE EXPERIENCE AND ENGAGE WITH ART This weekend, I spent a few days at Ceramic Art London and honestly, it was one of those experiences that stays with you long after you leave. For anyone who hasn’t heard of it before, it’s a huge ceramics show in London and such a brilliant event. I went with my friend Sharon, who exhibits there and creates the most beautiful figurative sculptures and fauns. There was something really powerful about being surrounded by artwork, conversations and people connecting so...

HOW TO GET SUPREME SELF CONFIDENCE IN MINUTES Confidence wasn’t always something I felt. There was a period in my life where I felt really anxious, especially around people, and even small moments could feel overwhelming. But I learned something back then, a simple technique, that changed me and I’ve carried it with me ever since. In today’s podcast episode, I’m sharing that exact technique I’ve used to get supreme self-confidence!

“You will never be an artist.” It’s a strong statement. But for many people, it’s not just a sentence - it’s a belief that’s slowly formed over time. From comparison. From doubt. From trying… and not feeling like it’s enough. This is what I unpack in today’s podcast episode. Sign up to our FREE Kickstart Your Art event starting on 13th April - click here:

How do you find your style? I’ve asked myself this question countless times over my 25 years as an artist. And I know I’m not alone. Many artists I meet wonder the same thing: How do I know when I’ve found it? We see other creatives whose work feels cohesive, recognisable. It’s tempting to think style is something you simply “arrive at.” But over the years, I’ve realised it’s not about having a polished, consistent look. It’s about finding your voice, and letting your life quietly feed it. If you’d like a little guidance on noticing your voice and tuning into your...

There comes a point in your creative journey where you start to question everything. You’re showing up, you’re trying, you’re taking steps but it still feels like something isn’t quite clicking. I’ve been there. In fact, as I reflect on ten years of building United ArtSpace, I can see just how many times I felt like I was getting nowhere. And yet, those moments were shaping everything that came next. If you’re feeling that nudge, that sense that there’s more for you creatively even if you can’t fully see it yet, this is your reminder not to ignore it. And if you’re ready to...

Have you ever felt stuck because your goals feel too big, too far away, or just… overwhelming? It’s easy to get paralysed by the “what’s next?” in life or in your creative work. I recently heard a phrase from M in our Creative Living community that really resonated: “Make your goal so small it’s ridiculous not to do.” It’s a simple idea, but when you break things down into tiny, manageable steps, momentum starts to build almost magically.

STEPPING GENTLY INTO 2026: PAUSE, REFLECT, AND PREPARE Happy New Year, my friends! It feels so good to be back. As 2026 begins, you might be noticing a quiet stillness - a feeling that the year hasn’t quite arrived, that you’re not ready to rush forward just yet. This is a beautiful time to slow down, to shed what no longer serves you, and to get clear on how you truly want to feel. For me, it’s been about noticing patterns, releasing old habits, and gently tuning in to what brings ease, joy, and creativity. Before the year picks up pace, take a moment with me: What do you need to let go...

Ever wondered what it really takes to run a successful art gallery and online shop? In this week’s episode, I’m chatting with The Two Faced Twins, Gemma and Stella, about how they built a warm, welcoming gallery, developed a signature style people instantly recognise, and turned their creativity into a thriving business. We talk about the power of knowing your audience, keeping things simple, showing up consistently, and staying playful even as your business grows. If you’ve ever dreamed of selling your work in a gallery or building an online shop that actually works, this conversation...
info_outlineIf your brain is full of creative ideas, projects, and “what ifs” and you’re struggling to choose what to focus on next - this episode is for you.
I’m sharing how I take all the ideas out of my head and onto paper, how I organise them into meaningful categories, and how I figure out what actually matters most right now.
This is the process I use to go from “everything feels important” to “this is what I’m doing next” - in a way that feels calm, focused, and true to the kind of life I want to design.
