About Annette
A creative life, and a pathway back to yours
For a long time, I believed creativity was something you either had… or you didn’t.
Something reserved for the “talented.”
The “gifted.”
The lucky few.
But over time — through my own life, my art, and the women I’ve worked with — I’ve come to understand something very different.
Creativity isn’t something you’re given.
It’s something you return to.
My Story
I’ve been a practising visual artist for over 40 years.
Art has always been a part of my life — a way of seeing, of processing, of being.
But even with that, I’ve experienced the ebb and flow of creativity.
The times where life takes over.
Where your creative voice becomes quieter.
Where you feel disconnected from something that once felt so natural.
And I began to notice… I wasn’t alone.
So many women I met had once been creative — or felt they could have been — but somewhere along the way, life had taken over.
Work.
Family.
Responsibility.
Self-doubt.
And slowly, creativity slipped to the side.
Not because it wasn’t there.
But because the space for it disappeared.
The Turning Point
What became clear to me was this:
It’s not that creativity disappears.
It’s that we’re never shown how to create in a way that fits real life.
Most art classes teach technique.
But they don’t teach you how to:
Begin again
Keep going
Work with self-doubt
Create consistently in the middle of a full life
And that’s where so many women get stuck.
MY WORK TODAY
Today, I bring together everything I’ve learned — as an artist and as a coach — to support women to reconnect with their creativity.
I’m a:
Visual Artist (40+ years)
Creativity Coach
Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology)
Certified Art Life Coach
NLP Practitioner
Human Design Coach
Professional Member of the National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA)
But more than qualifications, what I bring is lived experience — and a deep understanding of what it really takes to return to your creativity.
THE CREATIVEWAY METHOD™
This is where the CreativeWay Method™ was born.
Not as a rigid system.
But as a gentle, structured pathway back to your creative self.
A way to:
Rebuild your creative confidence
Quiet the inner critic
Create in a way that feels natural and sustainable
Bring creativity back into your everyday life
WHAT I BELIEVE
If something in you has been quietly waiting…
If you’ve been feeling the pull back to your creativity…
You don’t have to figure it out on your own.
I’d love to walk alongside you.
AN INVITATION
Creativity is not a talent — it’s part of who we are
Your creativity is not broken — and it has never left you
You don’t need more time — you need a different way
There is no “right way” to be creative — only your way
And most importantly…
That it’s never too late to begin again.
