At a time of rapid changes, volatile events, and deep uncertainty, many writers and artists find that our practice, focus, or direction is shifting. It can be difficult to know how to adapt both skills and sense of purpose without losing footing or feeling too overwhelmed. My work as a coach is to provide a safe and experienced space to think, reflect and sustain your work and ideas in a way that is grounded and responsive. This can help keep you connected to the present climate in meaningful ways.

    — Sebastian R., coach and social entrepeneur. Creative Coaching 2024-25

  • I have travelled from being unsure of my practice and how to verbalise it, to being clear on my artform.

    I have travelled from being unsure of my practice and how to verbalise it, to being clear on my artform, the focus of my work and the areas I would like to work in. I would not hesitate to work with Caroline again, she has a most beautiful presence and approach to coaching. — Donna B. Interdisciplinary artist and researcher. Cocahing Creative Change, 2026

  • Every facet of what I hoped to accomplish

    I had a much narrower view of what I had hoped to accomplish with the project. Caroline’s suggestions allowed me to fully realize every facet of what I hoped to accomplish.

    — Andrew Davie, published writer, Art Practice Mentoring 2025

  • Generous, open minded and welcoming

    Caroline is a wonderful facilitator, very generous, open minded and welcoming. She really encourages people to be experimental and trustful.

  • A space for my own imagination to flourish and for my artistic practice to evolve in exciting new ways.

    Caroline has helped me to broaden the scope of my project, offering insights, stimulation and encouragement, at the same time creating a space for my own imagination to flourish and for my artistic practice to evolve in exciting new ways. I am ever grateful for her warmth and for her guidance.

    — Jaclyn P, poet & scholar. Art Practice Mentoring 2022

  • Our conversations have emboldened my practice and encouraged me to think beyond what I once believed possible.

    — Beata Daly (Piekarska), painter and site-specific artist, Art Practice Mentoring 2025

  • I was able to connect and produce short bilingual miniature poems, the foundation for a 45-minute performance work.

    Working closely with Caroline and being exposed to her affinity for historical literature prompted me to reach beyond the timeline of my recent ancestors, and out to the deeper past of my most direct cultural heritage, which is currently known as Korean. I was able to connect and produce short bilingual miniature poems, the foundation for a 45-minute performance work.

    — Una Lee, composer and performer, 2024

  • An expansive and exciting process

    Working with Caroline is an expansive and exciting process; things move fast, connect, flicker, catch, and instill. A lot happens in a brief time, drawing embers through work that remains long after the screen closes.

    — Collaborative writing participant, 2022

  • Life-changing, art-practice-changing in the most affirmative and authentic of ways

    Working with Caroline is life-changing, art-practice-changing in the most affirmative and authentic and complex of ways. Caroline has an unusual gift for knowing what to say – and what not say, knowing how to say key words, or make suggestions, that allowed me to explore, without being heavy-handed, and yet with the utmost subtlety and precision.

    — Diana T. poet and multidisciplinary artist, Art Practice Mentoring, 2023
