Collectiva exists to protect creative time.

​

I work alongside established artists, makers and creative practitioners across a wide range of disciplines from painters, sculptors and ceramicists to garden designers.

​

As creative practices grow, so too do the demands which sit around them. Opportunities, commissions, exhibitions, partnerships and multiple income streams can quickly create an administrative burden which can pull focus away from making the work itself. My role is to provide the structure, organisation and professional support allowing artists to remain focused on their creative practice.

​

Some of the artists I work with exhibit, publish and present their work nationally and have reached a stage where self-management is no longer sustainable. Acting as both a trusted support partner and advocate, I help coordinate the practical realities of a creative career while ensuring that opportunities are managed thoughtfully and effectively.

​

Beyond administration and project management, I actively champion the artists and makers I work with. I help increase visibility of my clients' work to wider audiences through online and print editorial and other meaningful opportunities in media.

​

My services are tailored to the needs of each individual client and can be provided on an ongoing or project basis. Whether supporting the day-to-day running of a practice, managing complex projects or helping create new opportunities, I work with care, discretion and a deep understanding of creative working lives, ensuring that artists have the time, space and support needed to continue making their best work.

​​

Through Collectiva, I also curate and organise exhibitions and cultural events, offering artists and makers I have met or worked with, the opportunity to exhibit their work as part of a supportive and collaborative group.

 

These exhibitions combine the celebration of creative work with an opportunity to raise funds for a charity with a meaningful association to the narrative of the show.​​
