Creative Breakthrough Mentoring for Artists
You’re already deep in your work — writing, composing, painting, performing, producing your next piece or project. You have momentum, but you know there’s another level you want to reach.
Maybe you’re seeking sharper creative direction, a clearer sense of what’s next, or the confidence to share your work more widely. Maybe you want strategic support with launching a release, preparing for an exhibition, or simply ensuring your project feels authentic and aligned with your values.
This is where I come in. I work alongside artists in the midst of their creative process, helping you gain clarity, make powerful decisions and bring your vision into the world with impact.
Who Is This For
This is for you if you:
Are in the middle of a creative project or actively producing new work
Want to refine and strengthen what you’re creating
Are ready to share your work more confidently and intentionally
Need a sounding board who understands both the creative and professional sides of artistry
Value personalised guidance, honest feedback and accountability to keep you moving forward
What You Will Get
Every artist mentoring journey is unique, but past mentees have:
Elevated the quality and depth of their work while in production
Successfully launched projects with clear strategies and timelines
Booked exhibitions, performances and collaborations
Built confidence and self-trust in sharing their work with the public and industry
Reconnected with the joy, play, and flow of creating — moving beyond overwhelm and self-doubt
I’m not just here to guide you — I’m here to work alongside you.
As an independent Artist & Producer, Creative Mentor and Creative & Brand Director, I know what it takes to bring a project from spark to completion — and what’s required to keep creating when the excitement fades and the work gets real.
Over the past decade, I’ve navigated the highs and lows of the creative process — from self-funding and releasing music, to booking performances, to building community for artists through mentoring and events. My work as a Creative & Brand Director in the design industry has sharpened my skills in storytelling, audience connection, and positioning — tools I now use to help artists present and share their work with impact.
I understand both the deeply personal side of making art and the practical realities of bringing it into the world. In our work together, you’ll get a collaborator who listens deeply, asks the right questions, and offers honest feedback so you can make the creative and strategic decisions that move you forward in an authentic and joyful way.

Testimonials
-
Peter Sandercock, Hip-Hop Artist
“Jess is just the best. I've really enjoyed working within this creative container. It's my 1st experience with mentorship and music and it has been so empowering and liberating dismantling some of my old belief systems that weren't serving me and my music. I have learnt practical skills that I can implement into my life to enhance not only creating music, but my well-being, relationships and quality of life.”
-
Sean Bell, Film Director & Musician
“Jess is a real rarity: an artist's professional. She expertly navigates the delicate intersection between a musician's artistic endeavours and industry strategy. She took the time to consume and appreciate my work, and help me understand how I could maximise its impact and reach based on my personality and goals. She is knowledgeable, experienced, an excellent listener, and shares your common language as a fellow artist.”
-
Briana Cowlishaw, Musician & Artist
“It was so refreshing to work with Jess and re-think my relationship with and approach to social media. Jess set the sessions up so well with prompted journaling beforehand, which allowed us to come up with tangible solutions and practical steps quicker than I ever have before. It felt empowering to remove the blocks I'd had in this area for years. I will definitely be booking future sessions to work on artistic and business strategies.”

Nic Muir, Musician & Artist
“Before working with Jess I had ideas about what I wanted to do for my creative process but wasn’t sure how to break it down or if the ideas were good or not. She created a warm and inviting space that helped me express my ideas and plan of attack. It was incredible to work with someone so solid and connected to the creative realm, reminding me of a gorgeous female version of Rick Rubin. In such a short time I felt more secure and sure of my direction.”
