I’m a Guest Art Tutor on ‘Flourish - The Art Of Creative Living’.
I am delighted to announce that I will be a guest tutor on Nicola Newman’s year-long creativity school, 'Flourish - The Art of Creative Living'.
Nicola is an award-winning artist, writer and creative business coach who lives on a boat sailing around the coast of Australia.
What Nicola says about Flourish.
Flourish: The Art of Creative Living is a year-long creativity school for heart-centred folks who are ready to follow their heart, be brave, dissolve creative blocks & nurture their creativity.
You will develop your practical skills alongside your sense of playfulness, curiosity & uninhibited self-expression as you embark on a year of painting, writing, mixed media & photography, combined with mindfulness & an incredible, supportive community.

I will be talking about Confidence for Creatives.
I will be sharing my practical experiences as a creative, running a creative business for 25 years and my knowledge of psychology with the Flourish students and community.
“Go beyond a superficial ‘rah-rah’ pep talk, and discover how to cultivate and develop calm, clear confidence in yourself and your work. As a trained creative coach, Angela will be sharing her tools, tips and techniques to develop your creative confidence so you can embrace the creative process with more joy, freedom and flow.”
— Nicola Newman
Confidence is something I've struggled with at key moments in my career and that's where my interest in this topic started. It led me to study psychology and creativity coaching to better understand myself and why I was getting in my own way.
That learning helped me to break through creative blocks, overcome lack of inspiration, bounce back from creative burn-out, deal with the uncertainty of income and faced up to my fears of rejection.
Confidence can be learnt, just as you have learnt not to be. Our minds are flexible and capable of change at any age. All it needs is a little mind-shift towards one that is more helpful and works for you.
Get the confidence habit and make life easier for yourself.
I am looking forward to sharing what I have learnt with the Flourish students as teaching and mentoring is something I love doing. It is so satisfying to empower people to express themselves without fear and enjoy the process of creating without judgement.
