Creative Process

For artists, musicians, writers, actors, makers, all creatives

Living the Creative Life

Identity, purpose, creative burnout and blocks, and the intersection of art and meaning

Living the Creative Life means staying responsive to what moves you, even and especially on ordinary days. It’s less about producing constantly and more about keeping an ongoing conversation with your attention and imagination.

How We Work The structure for Creative Process Coaching is up to us. The main focus is on re-discovering and then protecting the curiosity that brought you to creating in the first place.

Some topics we can explore:

How you usually begin—and where you tend to stall out · The difference between ideas, drafts, and finished work · Your working rhythms: energy, time, and environment · Fear, comparison, or perfectionism that slows you down · Gentle ways to keep moving forward without forcing outcomes · Choosing small experiments for the coming week, month, year · What “good enough” could look like right now

Before coming to clinical work, I spent decades exploring drawing, pattern design, and large and small installation work. My art practice is focused on repair, sustainability and community practice — giving life to community and healing what’s broken.

Re-discover Your Creative Muse

We are all aware of cycles. When possible, I want to move the artist into full view.
