MEET AOIBHEANN, YOUR CREATIVE GUIDE
(Pronounced “Ay-veen!”)
Hi, I’m Aoibheann (she/her).
I’m an Irish artist, creative mentor, certified transformative coach, and devoted student of the esoteric. For two decades, I’ve immersed myself professionally in a wide range of artistic practices, including painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, performance, costume, and video. I’ve pulled off impactful shows on a shoestring budget and collaborated with everyone from neuroscientists to a Mexican bagpipe band!
But it wasn’t until I began working with artists that I realized I had a skill I’d long taken for granted:
Bridging the imaginal with the practical.
My clients are often overflowing with ideas but have a harder time translating them into tangible action. And nothing dampens a neurospicy creative spirit faster than another failed “productivity hack.” But what these one-size-fits-all systems fail to consider are the actual people behind them. Your values, drives and unique learning styles matter- to name just a few variables. That’s why I don’t just tackle the problem; I work with the whole person.
How I Work
My client-centered approach- much like my art practice- is fluid and multimodal:
As a coach, I believe you are inherently creative, resourceful, and whole. My role isn’t to solve your problems but to help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom.
As a mentor, I am committed to integrity, sharing only the tools and insights that have genuinely supported me in my own journey.
As a mystic, I incorporate divinatory practices to deepen our explorations. The same principle applies here- if it brings value to my own life, I’ll share it!
As an artist, I strive to make our time together feel expansive and inspiring- an opportunity to explore every nook and cranny of your imagination.
As a natural cheerleader (ENFP), I lead with warmth and optimism. Hyping up your dreams is my literal default setting!
Rodeo Oracle is a space where I show up fully as myself, inviting you to do the same. Together, we create our own playground where we set the rules and shape the experience in a way that feels true to both of us.
Who I Work With
To date, I’ve supported passionate creatives from all walks of life- visual artists, curators, filmmakers, musicians, dancers, writers, actors, theater makers, creative producers, drag performers, architects, comedians, creative entrepreneurs, and more. Despite their diverse backgrounds, my clients share one thing: a desire to create on their own terms.
Why This Work Matters to Me
After earning two master’s degrees, I had to actively unlearn the conditioning that left me over-intellectualizing my work and second-guessing my instincts. What I gained in clever-sounding artspeak and fancy CV mentions, I lost in self-trust and fearlessness. Trying to make my art more “palatable” chipped away at both my creative output and my sense of self.
Untangling myself from that web has been an odyssey, but I’m grateful for it- because it ignited my passion for guiding others back to their creative core.
Believe me when I say: few things fulfill me more than watching you root into your confidence, break free from convention, and take bolder leaps with your work. Helping you unleash your weird, nonlinear, gloriously batshit art is my greatest joy and privilege. The world needs your authenticity now more than ever- because, as artist Edgar Fabián Frías puts it, “Your Art is a Spell!”
So, if you’re craving some practical creative midwifery with a side of paradigm-blasting magic- let’s talk!

WHY RODEO ORACLE?
In one of my earliest group exhibitions, artists were asked to choose former racehorse names for their works. The name 'Rodeo Oracle' immediately sparked my imagination with its playful and anomalous word pairing. Years later it later became my social media handle! However its significance has grown deeper for me with time.
To me ‘Rodeo Oracle’ embodies the necessary synthesis of grounded intuition and adaptive strategy that best serves us in our creative pursuits. This guiding principle also informs my approach as a creative coach and mentor.
