Coaching for Equine Artists

Strategic guidance to align your creative vision with professional success

You’re not starting from scratch. Your work is strong—you’re exhibiting, connecting, maybe even selling. But you know there’s more. Sharper positioning. Better alignment between your art and your audience. Clearer direction—without feeling like you’re navigating it all alone.

As a curator and coach specialising in equine art, I offer tailored coaching for artists who are ready to grow—professionally, creatively,
and strategically. This isn’t generic advice. It’s structured guidance shaped around your goals, your work, and the unique demands of the equine art world.

Whether you're preparing for an exhibition, refining your portfolio, or repositioning your work, coaching is built to support you with clarity, structure, and expert insight.

​​What you gain through one-on-one coaching

  • A cohesive, confident portfolio that reflects your artistic vision

  • Pricing and presentation aligned with the value of your work

  • Clear positioning for galleries, collectors, and curators

  • A visibility strategy tailored to your ambitions—not just your social media

  • Professional guidance that sees the whole picture: creative and strategic

Testimonials

‘In Joyce I have finally found a great art and business coach. With her help I have made big steps in my career as a professional equine artist.

— Mirelle Vegers, equine artist, The Netherlands
