Your Art Matters
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. Celebrate 10 years of United Art Space with us - grab your tickets for our special in-person event below!

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...

Have you ever felt like your old ways of working or creating no longer fit? In this episode, I sit down with Sheryl Garratt, writer, creative coach and former editor of The Face and The Observer Magazine, to explore what it truly means to start again. We dive into the art of reinvention, how to follow curiosity when life shifts, and why starting over is never really from scratch. You are building on all the experience you already have.

The world is changing fast, and as artists, we feel it deeply. Whether it’s in your work, your business, or life itself, change can bring fear and uncertainty but it can also open the door to something new. In this episode, I talk about how I handle change when everything feels unsettled: how I ground myself, tune out the noise, and trust the next step even when I can’t see the full path yet.
