I teach in a versatile way tailored for each individuals needs and relevant to what each person wants to learn. I have taught students to help them through GCSE and Alevel Art and also students with high levels of SEN, taught an elderly person with Parkinson. I also teach groups experiencing mental health through Artlift. Sessions can include a mixture of learning different media’s such as watercolour, acrylic, charcoal, drawing bit I also believe in mixing media’s and having fun and enjoying the ‘process’ of art. My art sessions can not only be helping students become ‘better’ artists but also a space for individuals to relax, decompress and have fun!
My own art practice started as soon as I left school in 1998 where I took private mural and portrait commissions, scenic painting for private clients and festivals. I founded Art For Action in 2014 running community based art projects around the world with disadvantaged communities. I run stencil spray vinyl workshops with kids and am a professional portrait painter and I have exhibited throughout the UK.
I have a passion for helping people enjoy creating artwork that not only are they proud of, but also helps them discover their own unique individual talents with their art practice, gain confidence and they can then carry on independently.
