Make Exceptional Work is for artists and makers driven to take their work from good to exceptional. It’s for both emerging and experienced makers who want to push their work further with fresh input, new strategies, and the kind of honest challenge that leads to real growth.

How is this different?
Â
- Make Exceptional Work is about the work itself, the physical work you make. It’s not about your artist statement, Instagram, selling, or your website.
(Side note: making better work will strengthen all of these.) - It’s live. In my experience, the biggest shifts come from doing the work in real time, in community, with immediate feedback.
- My 25 years as a practicing and exhibiting artist, with work awarded, collected, and recognised, together with mentoring over 100 visual artists, has shown me what it takes to create exceptional work.Â
“Full of doubt, I plugged away until I did the Make Exceptional Work free training with you earlier this year. That short learning gave me the tools to review the work I had made, so I kept going.
Still uncertain about the new direction, I sent off the work. They loved it, thought it was stunning, and have used the images as their feature image for the exhibition. It is a wake-up call to have more belief in the work I do. Thanks so much for all your clear and down-to-earth guidance.”
It’s frustrating when your work doesn’t land the way you know it could, whether that’s in an award, an exhibition, or simply in the hands of someone encountering it. If you want your work to have real impact,to be excellent, distinct, and unmistakably of your voice, this training will help you move closer.
