About
I enjoy seeing my students find and explore their creativity and produce exciting artwork that satisfies
and surprises them.
As well as producing art I am also an experieced designer and can help with teaching design and illustrator if needed.
I love the artwork my students produce and the time we spend together enjoying art and the creative flow.
I have been painting my whole life and have taught many students who did not believe they had so many hidden talents to explore.
