CREATIVE
GUIDANCE BEGINS HERE
The object isn’t to make art, but to be in that marvelous state of mind that makes art inevitable.
~ Robert Henri, The Artist Spirit
Are you navigating a life transition, exploring new creative directions, or starting a creative business? If things feel scattered, overwhelming, or out of reach, it’s easy to feel stuck. When we struggle to create, we struggle to make sense of our world.
I get it. I’ve been there. I know how isolating and challenging it is when those dreaded creative blocks arise—often born from a gap in the vision or a fear that you lack the skills. Comparison and outdated narratives are frequent culprits of procrastination; both steal our precious time and confidence, and can make you feel like you’ll never be ready. But…
I can help.
Think of me as a creative Doula(!) who sees and holds your vision tenderly; the cohort who coaxes your concepts down from the ether and onto the [insert art medium]. Through a nurturing process, I’ll help you articulate nebulous ideas and identify patterns that might be standing in your way; I’ll illuminate the path for you to get intentional on your goals (spoiler alert: goals can change, and that’s OK). We’ll sprinkle metaphorical fertilizer on your ideas to create optimal conditions for growth, and form simple, yet sustainable practices tailored to the way you create so that you can reconnect with your inner knowing— EMPOWERING you to TRUST your process.
There’s no pressure to perform here. Only an invitation to take the first of many, possibly imperfect, deeply aligned steps toward your creative goals.
Your voice and your art are needed more than ever.
If you’re ready, let’s bring them to light!
LET’S WORK TOGETHER
Have an idea but don’t know where to begin? Perhaps you feel isolated or stalled in your creative process. No matter where you are on your creative exploration, this 90-minute 1:1 session aims to give you the mindset shift needed to overcome creative obstacles and approach your work with clarity & confidence.
This is a weekly series of four 1-hour, 1:1 sessions for when you already have an idea in motion and need a creative brainstorming and accountability partner, so your ideas don’t get stuck. By creating a safe space for your art to evolve, we’ll “work-jam” through creative blocks to move your project toward completion.
Choosing one direction is hard for multi-passionate creators, trust me—I’ve been there. But how you channel your creativity defines your path. Over 12 weekly, 60-minute sessions, we’ll explore your diverse passions to clarify a resonant career trajectory while confidently integrating your true artistic voice.

Hello…
I’m Jeannie.
I’m an artist; an educator, and a creative alignment guide. My mission is to support other artists and makers on their own creative path. It’s a shameless, innate drive— one that is an honor and which brings me so much joy. I share from the well of my own lived experience and practices— not from textbook theory or abstract concepts—practices that I integrate into my everyday life.
My background spans over thirty years of hands-on creative work in both the UK and US. I’ve worn many hats, from fashion to filmmaking, writing to acting to building a jewelry- arts studio rooted in both craft and education. I’ve even done copywriting for fintech accounts and explainer videos on crypto currency, but we don’t talk about that anymore, because what’s not aligned eventually crushes the soul.
I’ve come to understand that the way we make things often reflects the way we move through our lives; how our experiences and the patterns formed from them can either help our creativity take flight or hold it captive.
A journey of self-inquiry led me to meet the version of myself that had experienced crippling imposter syndrome, perfectionism and fear; not just of failure, but of living outside of my creative comfort zone. Grief, the losses of people, places and things, and a myriad of setbacks in my personal and professional life eventually brought me to ZERO POINT— a place, not of shame, but to reframe and begin again. It’s where we observe the processing of thoughts, build new, supportive systems based on agency and presence which in turn allows for unlimited creative wisdom and action to reawaken.
This is the foundation of my work.
My work is shaped by and primarily for women, particularly those learning to trust their inner creative knowing.
All are welcome here who resonate with this approach.
