What does Lucy offer?
Lucy is committed to supporting individuals connect with and clarify a personal artistic vision, build on their technical and conceptual skills, and take the next steps in their careers as artists. Sessions are tailored to the individual and may emphasise skills and/or professional development. Lucy takes an empowerment approach to mentoring. This involves a focus on supporting individuals develop and refine an artistic voice and style that is natural to them, and in coming up with their own solutions to challenges. Included in this is identifying potentially limiting or unproductive beliefs and behaviours inhibiting creative growth; and support in creating and committing to new, more productive approaches to moving forward. Lucy works with individuals at a range of skill levels and brings enthusiasm, patience and passion to supporting people in their artistic growth.

What is required of me?
Mentoring is a partnership. You need to be ready for mentoring to make the most of it, and willing and able to do the work. Being ready means being at a point where you are looking to take your practice to the next level; knowing what you want to get out of mentoring, and what knowledge and/or skills you are wanting to acquire. It is up to you to make the most of the session/s. This includes being open to change, being challenged and learning; reflecting regularly on the process and what you want to explore next; taking action on set goals; respecting professional, artistic and commercial ethics, and speaking up if something is not working.
