Creativity Cultivation Sessions

A Creativity Cultivation Session is the creative accountability you crave without the heartache of feeling alone on your creative journey.

Are Creativity Cultivation Sessions with Court right for you?

Are you seeking to connect with your creativity in a truly authentic way without feeling lost in the process and letting time pass you by?
Have you been longing to connect with your creativity and worry you may not be creative at all?

Do you have a creative project on your heart, but don’t know where to start or how to clarify your vision?

Have you been spinning your wheels with your creativity but can’t seem to bring anything to fruition?
​
Are you frustrated that your that your creativity seems to start and stop with lots of lag time in between without creative connection? 

Does the artist within you have big ideas but need some nurturing guidance on where exactly  to start and how to move forward?

Do you long to develop and connect with your creativity in a meaningful way on a regular basis?

​Is that desire minimized by not knowing where to go for support & guidance?
I know exactly how this feels.
After graduating Art School I needed to continue to grow as an artist while making my adult life "work" at the same time.

​I know what it's like to spend the countless hours it takes to develop your unique creativity and integrate that practice within our daily responsibilities. Now I love to guide others through that meaningful process.

It has been such a joy spending the last 15 years developing my unique creative work by both working alone and by finding inspiration through engaging with and learning from my creative community.

I have had the honor of working as a teaching artist in museums, leading visual arts classes & creativity cultivation experiences in my home studio and around the world. I have been able to work with more Creativity Cultivators through my book Art Nurture: The Simple Guide to Cultivating Your Creativity, workshops, & my absolute favorite of working 1-on-1 in Creativity Cultivation sessions.
My passion is guiding others in developing their unique creativity so that they may live life with the soul of an artist; with passion, intention, purpose, & creative confidence.

Testimonials

"Before working with Court, I thought that Art Nurture and Creativity Cultivation were just for professional artists--which I am not! But I valued Court's sure, unwavering faith that I can and will grow!

Since working with Court, I have grown and changed in many ways. On the tangible side of things, I have moved to a different state, gotten a new job, and am pursing the next stage in my life. As far as inner growth goes, I find myself remembering more often to nurture myself, since what I put in heavily impacts what I get out.

Shh...don't tell anyone...but I just may have started encouraging others to nurture their creativity and their lives too!" ​~Amanda H.

"After working with Court I was able to put together a successful fundraising campaign with confidence.

Court helped me think about the project in a different way than I had been and changed the way I approached things.

Her insights gave me a renewed belief in myself, respect for my project and efforts, and value of my product that I could then share with my prospective backers to make a compelling ask for those that might be interested in supporting what I do." ~Anya H.

"Court McCracken’s skills and impact as a creativity coach are impressive. She has just the right combination of insight, encouragement, humor, practicality, understanding and empathy.

 Although she is an artist, the depth of her understanding about the creative process is readily applicable to many fields, including writing and music.  Indeed, because she places creativity in a broader context, as an essential part of living life to the fullest, I consider her also to be a an effective life coach, as well.  

In her sessions what comes across so clearly is her sincere interest in finding out what really are the individual’s motivations and aspirations. She then can be quite specific about the right steps, customized for the individual and their needs, to move from thought to action... 

Court’s coaching asks essential questions and guides the individual collaboratively to the answers best for them
—all of which ultimately focuses on results." ~ Sims K.
