Gateways Coaching for Arts Professionals

Creativity Coaching : Barbara Bowen

Welcome to Gateways Art Career and Creativity Coaching

Barbara Bowen I am a New York based professional writer/photographer, and founder of Gateways Coaching. I coach artists and other art career professionals in transition worldwide: designers, photographers, artists, architects, ad creatives, journalists & authors, media professionals, performers and others in fields involved with creativity.

Beginning or mid-career arts professionals often experience a tangle of confusion or obstacles that hamper their creative process or stall their career. Gateways Artist Career and Creativity Coaching helps clients to clarify the inner obstacles to creative flow, and/or the outer obstacles to career growth. As they gain more clarification, the cobwebs of confusion are lifted. They begin to undertake sensible new risks and actions that renew momentum toward their art career goals. Action is the key to movement, and Gateways Art Career and Creativity Coaching is designed to support it. Please visit my Web site for an in-depth profile and complimentary consultation: GatewaystoCreativity.com. Or, meet remarkable agents of global change at my blog: GatewaystoAction.com.
