Creativity is an essential part of a healthy and balanced life

 
 

It has been proven that a creative practice can enhance well-being, build self-esteem and mental flexibility. I know from experience that a creative practice is one of the foundations for a healthy life. For many years I have mentored and coached people of all ages - guiding them towards ways to include art and creativity in their life.  

I offer personalized guidance:

  • One on one support for individuals who want to build a creative practice.

  • Helping those who want to initiate a new creative project.

  • Best practices for sustaining a creative practice in your life.

  • Simple projects and activities to jump start a dormant practice.

    A little about me:

  • BFA in Textiles from Rhode Island School of Design and an MA Arts in Healing from Wisdom University.

  • Professional artist for over 60 years.

 “Sarah has played an instrumental role in my professional development as an artist. She generously shared her time, energy, and expertise in helping me identify my goals, inspirations, and obstacles. Together, we clarified achievable steps and specific strategies for my artistic growth. Her caring and empathetic encouragement made me feel deeply supported as I worked toward greater clarity in my creative path. The energy she brings—both to coaching others and to her own art practice—has touched me in profound ways. It’s been a true gift to know her.”

“As an emerging artist looking to do my first art residency Sarah helped me figure out what kind of artist residency would be a good fit for me and gave me pointed feedback on my art portfolio and application. Her advice is both practical and spiritual, she seeks to understand what motivates you and your art practice, and gives you actionable tools to get to where you want to go. I also appreciate her in-depth, experience-based knowledge of textile practices, and look forward to discussing my future projects with her.”

-Vann Randall (textile artist/ wool researcher)

“As a lifelong artist, Sarah has both the capacity and intuition to nurture one’s artistic strengths through dialogue, play and facilitated direction. Our journaling work together has resulted in a French family legacy project-of which I am extremely excited to undertake. Thank-you Sarah.”
