Erin Gallagher

I tailor my lessons to my students interests and needs. I provide skills based lessons for students who want to deepen their knowledge in a particular media. I can also create lesions intended to unlock creativity. Art can also be a community building exercise. I have experience creating collaborative projects for large and small groups. I have a diverse professional artistic background in commercial and fine arts. I have worked as an illustrator , muralist, production artist for theatre and have taken private art commissions. I was trained classically and have knowledge in figure drawing, anatomy, figure painting, plein air painting and figure sculpture. I got my degree in illustration and studied fine arts at Goldsmiths in London. I have been teaching art and theatre arts for 10 years. Over this time I have developed my own teaching methods for conducting lesions in traditional and unconventional materials. I have worked with all age ranges and levels of experience. It does not matter if you are picking up a bush for the first time or if you have years of experience and want to diversify your skills and techniques. For me each art experience is an adventure. I am passionate about passing on my knowledge. The most exciting thing for me when I am teaching is to see my students develop their own artistic voice.
