brighter life

Welcome to Brighter Life! Are you ready to change something in your life, perhaps to feel calmer, more in control or more confident in certain situations? As an Online Therapist, I love working with my clients to help them create change in their own way and in their own time. All the techniques I use are focused on helping you achieve your goal, with the benefit of all sessions being carried out over Zoom, in the comfort of your own home. We often know that something needs to be changed, we know we want to feel, think or be doing something differently, but we’re not sure how to make that change and that’s where I come in. I can help you make significant and positive change in your life using simple, yet powerful techniques and whether you’re looking to overcome anxiety or depression, lose weight or stop smoking, that change starts now. With over 11 years’ experience, I have created a unique tool kit, to help both adults and children make effective, long lasting change and create their own ‘Brighter Life’. With tools such as Hypnotherapy, NLP, Talking Therapies and EFT (often known as tapping) we can work together to get to the root of the problem and help you move forward with a solution focused approach Finding the right person to work with is key to your success and I’m very happy to chat with you and answer any questions you may have prior to booking an initial consultation.

m on an art journey and I’d love to take you with me! In 2017 after a 20-year break, I started painting again. I bravely joined a local art trail which involved showing my art and it was the incentive I needed. During my painting break I spent my days working in the finance industry, tele communications, then Human Resources but creating art on a regular basis and having my art as a career was never far from my thoughts. In 2018 I left my career in HR and took voluntary redundancy. It was the scariest thing I’ve done career wise, but I’ve not looked back since!

thriving artists business school

I came back to art quite late in life, after starting out as a professional dancer. I always loved the way art gave me freedom to express myself, and would get lost for hours on end with my paints. Then responsibility crept in, and so too did the opinions of others..."You can't make money from art"....."Don't make life difficult for yourself, choose a career that pays well" etc etc. I'm sure you've heard them too. Only I listened, and despite there being several career crossroads in my life I always chose the option that I thought would support me and my children, rather than the one that would light me up inside. MY PHILOSOPHY I believe that as an artist you have a gift and that you ought to share it with the world. As an artist and founder of three six-figure businesses, I have been honoured to bring the two skillsets of business and art together to equip other artists with the tools to build profitable and fulfilling businesses. If you struggle to sell your art or are afraid to take the leap as a professional artist, let me walk you through the process step-by-step, avoiding all the frustrating (and expensive!) pitfalls..

encounters art space

Our vision is to make art and artists accessible; our mission is to be an exemplar of the democratisation of artistic expression and our values are those of a true labour of love. ENCOUNTERS 2019 EDITION It has been a decade since Encounters became an Open House. This milestone has provoked much reflection. Why is Encounters important? What did we do? What are the characteristics of a successful Open House? The book Encountering Encounters tells how our Open House was created with the goal of sharing an artistic dream with the people that visit the Brighton Festival each year. Our intent was to bring exceptional artists from overseas to mingle with local artists and makers, thereby creating opportunities for encounters that would not otherwise occur. We sought to facilitate encounters through the appreciation of art, thereby forging new connections between people. Encounters’ mission is to make a distinctive contribution to a city that is imbued with a deep artistic culture. Encounters believes in the democratisation of art. Today, this can be realised in new ways. The art Industry is impacted by social and technological innovation, creating never-before-available opportunities. We strive to be a trend-setting pioneer in bringing innovation practices to enrich encounters between viewers, artists, galleries, institutions and collectors. We use unusual art settings and adopt an inclusive curatorial practice to promote social engagement. We recognise that institutions and galleries play a vital role in art appreciation but they can be distant and overwhelming. Encounters is committed to fight against a belief that the appreciation of art is an elitist pursuit confined to a privileged few. This vision, mission and values have enchanted many visitors. Encounters is the most consistently successful Open House in the 35-year history of the Artists Open House Movement, being the winner or in the top three of all open houses for five years in a row. More than 10.000 visitors have enjoyed a unique blend of local and international work. In all, 56 artists from 20 countries have shown a vast and eclectic range of artwork and curated art educational projects. Many of Encounters’ artists come from Latin America, where there is a vibrant, exciting and dynamic art scene. They have brought a new artistic life force to Hove and mingle with our talented local artists who gain from being part of an international show. Encounters has developed beyond the Brighton Festival. In 2015 a new venture, Encounters-on-the-Road, was launched to work with kindred spirits and co-create inclusive art experiences in different parts of the World. Encounters-on-the-Road has shown work from leading Latin American artists in an exhibition in Busan, Korea and, more recently other galleries in the UK and Europe.

Creating an about page is quite difficult. Who likes talking or writing about themselves? I really want to talk about art and find out more about you. It took me a while but I’ve realised that by telling you a little more about myself that you’ll be able to see more clearly what I offer and hopefully how it will inject more fun, happiness and balance into your life too.
