creative assistance for independent & professional artists

my experience

• ​​all work remains confidential

​

I act as a mentor and creative catalyst _ together we:

​

• explore the artist's creative journey

• focus on the artist's ideas

• look at the artist's source material for imagery

• suggest areas of research for the artist

• consider the artist's technical artmaking skills and offer practical advice

• encourage the artist find ways to integrate their ideas and their tangible artworks to create a resolved body of work​

• help the artist to compose any artwriting needed to accompany their work

• investigate creative pathways moving forwards

​

I also undertake online creative assistance via ZOOM 

between 2008 and 2012 I was a part-time lecturer in the Visual Arts Department at the University of South Africa (Unisa) where my responsibilities included:

​

• working with the senior students

• encouraging their research skills and critical thinking

• coaching them in terms of integrating their ideas and their making processes.

​

in 2013 I established outoftheCUBE, an exhibiting platform to showcase the work of mid-career artists. Via outoftheCUBE I have:

​

• assisted many artists creatively

• interviewed artists

• curated many exhibitions - online and in real-life 

​

in 2018 I joined The Printing Girls, a collective of South African female printmakers. Now on the admin team, I assist some members creatively and technically.
