    "To be able to say that I enjoy my job is such a great feeling. I’m able to spend more time with family and friends as I can choose when I work. My work/life balance is much more improved and I’m so much happier in myself. Being able to work doing something I love was what caught my eye initially. I also loved the idea of the artist community where you can share and learn new ideas."

  • Karen Utting

    "I was looking to get back into work after having time out to raise a family and re-found my love of art and creativity whilst at home. I saw an advert for Creative Minds on Facebook and jumped at the opportunity. I liked the idea of being part of a thriving community of artists and running a flexible business around my young family. Since becoming a Creative Minds Artist, it’s helped my self-confidence and allowed me to fulfil my dream of bringing art and creativity to those in need."

  • Kayleigh Notman

    "My office job did not allow flexibility once I returned from maternity leave, and I was not proud or interested in my role. I looked for something in the arts, and Creative Minds offered the ideal blend of my passion and the flexibility I needed for my home life."
