The Extended Diploma in Art and Design and BA in Illustration taught me the
theory and methods necessary to an artist and a designer, while it also developed
the necessary skills needed to offer academic support (observation and attention to detail, problem solving etc). Additionally, with the previous experience of completing a
free hand 18 meter long, under 2 meter tall outdoor mural painting, that took two summers to complete, and with my artwork being showcased on PortfolioBox’s Instagram page, I have a proven record of practically applying the theoretical knowledge you need to reach your
potential.

I primarily work in watercolour and Photoshop, but I am also literate in vector art using Illustrator and Photoshop. Although these are my mediums of choice when working on a project, I also enjoy working with pencils, soft pastels, inks and fine liners to carry out my passion for observational and life drawing. Additionally, although I am primarily a traditional artist who uses software to make my art pop, my theoretical knowledge of art and design and the boundaries as a creative practice can be applied to any artist who wishes to become better at their craft. If you wish to view examples of my work, you can do so at

I have prepared a general programe with units of art and design theories, knowledge, activities and methods. The firsts stage will be evaluating your needs and goals, so that we can then tailor the program and workshops to help you achieve them. The growth will then be observed in the projects you complete, whether in private, in school or in our lesson's setting. This way, I will be by your side while you grow, and we will celebrate your successes and newly acquired skills together.
