Meet the Creative Agents of Global Change.
Welcome to Gateways Coaching
I coach artists and creative professionals in transition worldwide: photographers, painters, journalists and authors, designers, and others in creative fields.
At various stages of career growth, creative professionals encounter unique obstacles, on the outer level of marketing or inner level of creative process, or both.
Gateways Coaching helps artists and creative professionals of all kinds to master the creative process, clarify goals, and take sensible new risks for career advancement.

New E-Book from Gateways Coaching: The Artist Statement
Write with Heart, Clarity and Sales Power
DOES MY ARTIST STATEMENT HELP TO OPEN OR CLOSE NEW ART CAREER DOORS?
The latter applies? You are not alone. Many extraordinarily talented artists shutter, even freeze, in face of the written word. Unfortunately their artist statements are mediocre, at best. Truth is, the writing muse can elude capture into the compact form the artist statement demands. Go easy on yourself. More questions — and vast improvements — are ahead.
