Gateways Coaching for Artists and Creative Professionals

with Creativity Coach Barbara Bowen

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.

At various stages of career growth, creative professionals encounter unique obstacles, on the outer or inner levels, or both. Gateways Coaching for Artists and Creative Professionals helps clients to clarify the inner obstacles to momentum, 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 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.
