MENTORING
Grow Your Creative Confidence
Are you an emerging artist feeling overwhelmed by your to-do list and unsure of where to begin with your creative business? Or perhaps you're an established artist struggling to navigate the ever-evolving art landscape and looking for a fresh perspective to get things moving? Look no further! I'm here to offer more than just guidance – I bring a wealth of experience as a surface designer based in sunny Brisbane, Australia.
As a seasoned artist, I wear many creative hats – from art licensing and direct-to-customer sales to wholesale product sales, participating in markets, and conducting both in-person and online workshops. I'm not just an artist; I bring organisation, strategic thinking, IT skills, motivation, and determination to everything I do.
Navigating the art world can be challenging, but with a mentor who understands the industry, success becomes more achievable. I've been exactly where you are, and now I'm here to share my insights and skills to help you thrive in your creative journey.

I'm committed to walking alongside you as you implement strategies into your business and watch your creative vision come to life! Appointment times are generally available between 9:30 AM and 2:30 PM AEST, Tuesday to Friday during school term. However, I understand that flexibility is key, and I'm more than happy to try and accommodate meetings outside of these hours. Please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss your scheduling needs before booking.
“Sometimes you really do need to talk through it with someone else to see things clearer and give you a push to believe in yourself.”
“Tammy's rates are affordable, her coaching options flexible and generous, and her on-boarding process thorough, yet easy-to-follow.”
“Tammy has given me step-by-step information and advice on how to advance my business, demonstrating her reliability and expertise.”
After your initial session, you have the flexibility to book in check-ins to suit your needs – whether it's on an ad hoc basis, monthly, or quarterly. These check-ins can be booked independently or as part of the full-year package, offering tailored support that aligns with the unique rhythm of your creative journey. I understand that everyone's pace and preferences differ, so we can adjust the frequency to match what works best for you.
During these check-ins, we'll collaboratively review your progress, celebrate your successes, refine your goals to enhance achievability, build confidence, and ensure you stay motivated. The goal-setting process is inherently flexible, allowing us to adapt your plan as needed. With this personalised and adaptable support, combined with your self-motivated mindset, you'll be well on your way to reaching your full creative potential.
