Jennet Bowdridge

Hi, I’m Jennet Bowdridge — architect turned creative renewal coach and watercolour artist. I know what it feels like to lose touch with creativity. For years, I lived in a world of deadlines and precision until stress and burnout left me disconnected from the joy that once defined me. Picking up a paintbrush after nearly a decade became my turning point — and reminded me that creativity isn’t a luxury; it’s a lifeline. Now, I help mid- and late-career creative souls, who feel stuck, disconntected, or overwhelmed, rediscover their spark through gentle guidance, practical strategies, and small steps that fit into real life. If you’ve ever wondered whether your creativity could return, you’re not alone. I’ve been there — and I’m here to help you find joy again.

Hear from artists who’ve started their journey:

Here is what other creative souls have said about the guidance Jennet provides:

As a complete novice, I challenged Jennet to teach me how to paint with water colours. She rose to the challenge, starting with shopping for tools and practicing the basic techniques. Jennet opened the door for me to this amazing art form. I particularly loved the time spent on mixing and manipulating colours. I still have a long way to go but she set me on a very steady path. Thank you Jennet.
