❌ What you think is going to make you feel more successful as a creative:

✅ What will actually make you feel more successful as a creative:

❌ Having a massive social-media following overnight

✅ Building a small but engaged audience who connects deeply with your work over time.

❌ Owning a picture-perfect studio space

✅ Creating consistently - even at your kitchen table or in borrowed spaces- so your practice grows stronger every day.

❌ Having a big gallery show or high-paying commission before you’ve built a body of work you’re confident about

✅ Developing a body of work you feel proud of, so when big opportunities come, you’re ready to say yes.

❌ Waiting for the “perfect” burst of inspiration to hit

✅ Showing up for your creativity regularly, instead of waiting for infrequent bursts of inspiration.

❌ Perfecting every detail before you share anything with the world

✅ Sharing imperfect work with the world and letting feedback, not fear, guide your growth.

❌ Investing in the latest expensive kit or courses as a shortcut

✅ Focusing on your ideas and process first, instead of relying on expensive kit or courses as quick fixes.

In this high-energy, 60-minute masterclass, you’ll discover a 5-step blueprint to break free from self-doubt, stop waiting for “perfect” conditions, and finally step into your creative boldness. You’ll learn how to carve out ten minutes a day to grow your practice, build momentum, and set the stage for consistent income- without burnout or overthinking.

We’ll explore simple mindset shifts and small but powerful habits that turn fleeting pockets of time into meaningful creative rituals. You’ll learn how to make your work non-negotiable, quiet your inner critic, and confidently share your ideas with the world.

By the end of our session, you’ll walk away with a clear plan to start showing up for your creativity- even when life feels overwhelming- and take your first step toward playing bigger, earning more, and sustaining your practice for the long term. Expect practical exercises, inspiring examples, and tools that make consistency feel natural.

This is for you if: 

✅ You’re done playing small and ready to step fully into your boldest, most unapologetic creative self.

✅ You want to reclaim your time and make your artistic practice a non-negotiable priority- even in a busy life.

✅ You dream of earning confidently from your creativity without burning out or compromising your work.

✅ You’re ready to quiet the self-doubt and step into unstoppable momentum and creative confidence.

Let me introduce myself …

I know first-hand what it feels like to hold back as a creative - to play small, say yes when you mean no, and put your own practice on pause while life pulls you in every direction. After a series of personal challenges; grief, health issues, and the whirlwind of motherhood,I found myself completely disconnected from my creative voice and career. But instead of waiting for the “perfect time” or inspiration to return, I made the decision to step up and reclaim my creativity. .

I stopped playing small, learned to embrace business as a creative act, and built multiple income streams that allowed me to thrive as both an artist and a mentor. Today, I’m an award-winning photographer, Senior Lecturer at University of the Arts London, and founder of Work Show Grow - a global art school designed to help artists grow confidence, visibility, and consistent income.

Through bold decisions and playful, practical systems, I’ve turned my creative work into a sustainable career - and I want to help you do the same. In this masterclass, I’ll share the exact mindset shifts and strategies that helped me and hundreds of artists I’ve worked with step into their boldest, most unapologetic creative selves.

By the end of this masterclass, you won’t just leave with a clear roadmap to step into your creative boldness- you’ll also experience the power of being part of a live, supportive community of creatives. Together, we’ll break through isolation, share breakthroughs, and create the kind of collective momentum that makes bold, consistent action feel not only possible, but inevitable.
